I wasn't saying they weren't still recruiting any 2016s, just that I doubt they land any more. Demling has said that Walz and an assistant are in Texas today meeting with both Cox and Ciera Johnson and their families. He also indicates that Chou is off their board. I don't know if they're still pursuing Caretti, but I can't see her picking them with all the guards/wings they have lined up.
I am not really sure what Walz is doing. He has 1 junior (Walton), 3 sophomores, 6 freshmen, and 4 2016's. If he gets another 2016 (either Cox or Johnson), he will have only one scholarship to award to 2017's, unless the program suffers attrition. His recruiting seems very unbalanced. Those 3 sophomores (class of 2014) started off as 5, with one of them suffering injury and thus shifted to the freshman class (Brackemyre) and another leaving the program after the 2014-15 season (Ariana Freeman).
She said she plans to come back the following year, but if so, then Jeff has zero scholarships to give out for the class of 2017 unless someone leaves the program.
This year (2015-2016) they have 10 players on the books. Next year (2016-2017), with Henderson coming back, they will have 15 players on the books. Walton would be the only senior (assuming Henderson would be a r/s Jr), so they would have 1 scholarship to give to the 2017 recruiting class.
Unless... Louisville offers Cox a Volleyball scholarship.
Geno sould put you on retainer for recruiting purpose with this slogan: "Come to UCONN where a Championship is a given."
I'd say, who?
I'd say, who?
That is the point. IF they have a burning desire for an NC. IF that is an important enough deciding factor. You are right in that winning an NC was not as big a factor for the players you mention. Everyone has different priorities. If winning the NC is important enough then UCONN is far and away the logical choice.
But nd didn't, so if she choses nd then getting an NC is only a dream not based in reality.
Of course they earn them through hard work and dedication in a system that is the best to achieve that desired goal. OK, not a given, but about as close as there is. Still anywhere else is just a chance. Charde represents maybe the one or two 4 year player classes that did not win an NC.
It seems we now have much more room for agreement: Nothing is a given, everywhere is just a chance, UCONN's chances are better that everyone else's-for now.
Hey, that looks familiar. Always love it when people copy my tweets and strip my name out.
Yes, I mentioned Demling earlier in this thread, so obviously he's the beat writer I was referring to.
Wouldn't Jensen Caretti be duplicating Jazmine Jones in the same class? Almost same size & same skill set: "Ultra-athletic, versatile Combo-guard, exploits mismatches, "
given the above comments, sounds like it's high probability that someone DOES leave the program.
No doubt. But I am looking at it in the context of pursuing Caretti, Jones, and Caretti with Jones being the number 1 target. If Louisville's plan was to have more than 1 Ultra-athletic, versatile Combo- guards then maybe they should have explained that to Brown who is > than Caretti IMO.
Just the timing and mere speculation on my part is all.
So, are you Cox, or immediate family, or are you just opining?
I think you have the Brown info backward. If her visit to Louisville was canceled, it was almost certainly canceled by the school, not her. Demling stated the day that Jones committed that Brown was off Louisville's board and her visit was off. The very next day, her final four was released (presumably by her AAU team via a news outlet), with Louisville on it. I pointed out this discrepancy on Twitter, and the guy who posted her final four later replied to my tweet, insisting that Louisville was still recruiting Brown. I'm not sure what to believe here, but Demling is usually reliable with his information.
