Thoughts on Abby Meyers of Princeton

[MilfordHusky]

There are reports that Abby is or will be in the portal. She will graduate from Princeton in May, I believe. She would give us a tall, strong-shooting guard. She's a 2x Ivy POY. Any thoughts? I would want her--especially if she brings Chen with her.

There are a lot of teams that will be after Abby Myers.

 

[housekeys]

She's a baller.

 

[Kaizen]

Meyers and Chen are unbelievably good. Either one can be good for us. How can Carl Berube find those two?

 

[pghhuskydoc]

Hard-nosed kid with the game to back up the swagger. I’d take her on my team ANY day

 

[sweetspot]

Grew up a Maryland fan and is from the area.

 

[JordyG]

She's a baller.

...and a half.

Go Get Her!! A guard corps of Paige/Azzi/Nika/Caroline...and Abby ?

Where would she go to have a better chance to win the national championship ring?

Hey...beat Indiana and welcome to Bridgeport!

 

[Cuango]

After watching her against Kentucky, I’m giving Geno my official approval for bringing her in. She is pretty impressive and would likely be a great addition if we can get her. Coming from Princeton, she’s obviously a fundamentally solid player and would likely fit in well here. I had thought she was for sure going to be in the portal? I guess it’s not, though? Here’s hoping!

Reminds me a bit like a mini Caitlyn. Would be a nice addition. But I expect she’d want to get her Masters somewhere like Stanford or Cal. But who knows.

I like ballers.

You can get a master at a lot of great schools on the east coast. Getting your bachelor degree is great at Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, Cal and Duke but tons of very high quality master programs at other schools. Katie Benzan (from Harvard) is getting her masters at Maryland.

They’re both 6-footers. Meyers is a way better defender and plays off the ball.

 

[Cornell Lt]

She will be an excellent complementary piece for some lucky team

 

[Huskee11]

We have a lot of depth up front (since Geno has guaranteed us that Dorka is returning), but we could definitely use another player for next season at the guard position, recognizing we have two amazing guards showing up for 2023-2024.

A smart player who will pick the UConn system up quickly, plus being a shooter with ball handling skills.

Looking at Meyers, Hollywood couldn`t cast the part better than this.

If we don`t add her - hopefully the Berube connection counts for something - we would hopefully be looking for someone with the same skill set.

She wouldn`t start for us but she would be part of the mix, basically the role Evina has now.

Grew up a Maryland fan and is from the area.

And she plays for a former Husky

Only because Banghart left.

If she enters the portal for her 5th year…my thoughts Stanford and or ND will want her…Geno have your staff go after her…maybe a phone call to Carla might not be a bad idea either…

 

[Artifact]

I'm sure Gino has many thoughts, in regards to who are available & those who have not as yet announced officially, their future intentions!

 

[Charliebball]

I know Myers supposedly had some kind of academic issue but that must have been solved because she is playing now..............she appears to have a great relationship with her coach and teammates, so if it isn't to win an NC at UConn why leave at all?

 

[Cornell Lt]

Because the Ivy league did not play last year there is no free covid year and the Ivy League does not allow grad students an extra year, which is really messed up because the Ivy League was created as an athletic conference not as an elite academic association..

As a fellow Ivy league you should know best of all that both the Ivy league and the Patriot League encourage senior/graduates player to get on with life and not very accepting of graduate transfers or redshirt seniors. Ellie Mack was the Patriot League player of the year in 2020 and ended up transferring to Oregon State. I've been beating the Abby Meyers for UCONN drum for quite a few months now, since Kiki Rice decided to matriculate on the West coast. Abby will do very well at UCONN!

C'mon Nan, once a Husky, always a Husky...no? In her post game presser she talked about playing at UConn with Rebecca and Jen.

Solid basketball player. If she goes into the portal, whatever team she goes too, naturally they see her as being a good fit for that program and she feels the same.
