U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

[Charliebball]

So, from a UConn perspective, if Collier is the only top 20 recruit who winds up in Storrs, would that be considered a disappointing recruiting season?

For me yes because I have been a huge Christyn Williams fan for several years now and have always hoped that she would end up at UConn

The coaches are on record as not liking single player classes - they think it is easier for a freshman to have a fellow freshman going through the same trials and tribulations with them, but single player classes seem to happen regardless from time to time.

With the strength of the current team (and no knowing what will happen with our transfer junior/senior) it was going to be a small class anyway. It would be nice to pick up Williams or ONO, but certainly not essential.

I'd be surprised if Williams doesn't end up in Storrs.

I'd be even more surprised if Nelson-Ododa did.

I'd say 50% chance on CW and 15% chance ONO

Still in play for Christyn Williams and Olivia Nelson-Ododa.. along with already having the #2 player in the country committed. That's not being a major player? Lol, sheesh.. you guys want the entire top 10? The top 3 isn't enough?

A very "wise woman" informed us a few days ago the ONO IS NOT coming to UCONN. Upon hearing this I when ahead with the colonoscopy I'd been putting off, figuring it would be less painful.
I was right.

Unless that was a source very close to Nelson-Ododa then I wouldn't take that opinion too seriously. We'll all have an idea once she narrows down.

I'm keeping an eye on a lot of the schools that Nelson-Ododa is considering with low post prospects already committed.. UConn already has Collier and several other schools she's considering already have bigs committed so I'm interested in seeing which way she goes once she narrows down. Which is more important? Playing time.. competition.. going to a contender.. being near home.. or a combination of several..

Good job on the scan Coco. You are not alone when putting it off. Just had mine about 20 years late.

Chief Field Recruiter still hard at it! (Does Christyn W have her own room in the Gordon household?)

I would love to see Bruno finally get some real talent.

No, I think its allot more fun to see them together at Uconn.

Wouldn't mind seeing SC land Madi W. she's highly ranked by both Prospects & Hoopgurlz and has a nice all around game. I'm not sure but I think her and Christyn Williams are cousins.

Christyn Williams is rumored to have dropped Baylor, which, if true, would leave her five finalists for official visits.

What do you mean will...?

Yes! This is huge because ONO doesn't need an official visit for Georgia. That leaves 5 official visits and I like UCONN's chances if she makes it to campus.

I think she'll still cut a school before taking her officials. Every coach is going to want a fair shot to really go all out for this elite prospect. Georgia will make her final 5. I think South Carolina and Connecticut will as well. No recruit is going to turn down an opportunity to go on an official visit to Connecticut.

Lord have mercy putting Tara and JPM in the same bracket.... just not right. Not right at all. With that being said I don't see her leaving the south east. I'm actually surprised UConn made the top 6 given how often she has spoken of proximity being a major factor in her choice unless she did what teenage girls do.... changed her mind.

I don't recall ONO speaking of "proximity" being a major factor. Did I miss this?

Smells like Duke or Stanford to me for ONO.

Must be a very foul smell then.
