Formerly of Louisville, DePaul and Duke. She was one of my faves until she decided to throw down with the orange brigade.

I'm probably wrong on this because I don't know the details but hypothetically, Uconn could offer only 2 more scholarship this year unless it's for only one year correct? We have 13 scholarships total. 9 players on the current roster. We have 2 kids coming in next year and then KK and Ashlyn. That's 13 right there. Louconn and Dorka have one year only so 2 slots should be available next year and maybe only 1 the year after. One would think in that scenario Geno would want to be very selective and leave a slot open for a top player. Any transfer coming in probably would be one year only unless they are Angel Reese or someone similar. I don't think we add another transfer. Are we going to obviate the ability to add a top player because we don't have a scholarship available? We have a very young team. There are not a lot of slots open for the next 2 years maybe.

Women`s hoops are allowed 15 scholarships. UConn has 11 for next year now. Dorka and Lou2 have one year remaining and the two 2023 recruits will be coming in to keep it at eleven for the 2023-2024 season, assuming everything else stays constant.

The weird thing is that due to the Covid year, all eleven projected to be on the roster in 2023-2024 will also be eligible for 2024-2025. Bueckers, Muhl, Edwards, and I think Griffin as well who could get a fifth year. How likely any of those would stay for a fifth year is another matter, of course.

Bottom line, I think Geno has a fair amount of flexibility to add impact players, one way or the other.

The men are limited to thirteen, that may be the cause for confusion.

When I looked it up it was exactly the opposite. With Title 9, how could that be legal?

And yet here is another one which agrees that men get 15 slots and women 13:

Any site that says that is incorrect. If you look at the NCAA bylaws, is very clear that a school can give out up to 15 scholarships on the women’s side and only 13 on the men’s side.

This rhetoric about UCONN not playing freshman seriously needs an update because it is severely outdated. In the past 20 seasons UCONN has had a freshman starter or 6th woman in all but two seasons- (03-04 and 17-18). In 03-04 UCONN did not have any freshman on the roster.

2003-04: Liz Sherwood, Kiana Robinson both on the roster. Kia Wright was also in that recruiting class but left before the fall semester began.
