UConn, the 2013 National Champion, is the latest program to extend a scholarship offer to DSHA junior Arike Ogunbowale

And Who is Norbert when he is at home? As far as I know Tiff was the only recruit who received an offer prior to visiting the campus in Geno's history. Either he has changed or people are taking the interest and perhaps an 'if you visit and like what you see we will give you an offer' as an outright offer.

Sounds well suited to UConn. Besides all the other advantages of UConn, she can add the warmer weather.

True. The recruiting cycle seems to be speeding up particularly with the loosened NCAA recruiting rules. Already, a number of the top 2015ers have verballed to schools. So visits by recruits to NCAA games seem to becoming earlier than typical in the past.

How quickly we forget. Our great Russian all- American player was offered a scholarship from only watching a video of her playing by Gino. no campus visit. Her name hangs on the wall of fame at Gampel, ' Svetlana Abrasinova'. Don't worry Svet, ' I know let them not forget'!

Also on that wall is the name of the coach...."Geno".

Let them not forget the correct spelling of Sveta's surname, either: Abrosimova.

Didn't realize that the Right Reverend Wire Chief has taken up residency in the Comedians' Corner here on the Boneyard.

I do think Geno has offered scholies before like this, with a contingency that the campus visit must take place iirc.

My favorite quote attributed to here was "I no come 12,00 miles to set pick."

Adamec in his SNY Blog has confirmed she has an offer. She will visit in the spring.

I love it. I believe it also was reported in another sports page as," I no come thousands miles to play defense". She chose UConn. because Russian hockey player tell her, " UConn. best basketball team".
