UConn General Team Recruiting Thread

We don't know. Typically, UConn is tight lipped on recruiting activities, and not a lot gets posted on social media until after it happens, or when a transfer commits and/or signs. The program generally eschews the spotlight and just does its job.

Meanwhile. LSU's asst coach (more recruiter than coach) is on social media begging LSU fans to send posts to Serah Williams (without actually naming her).

Lots of players like what Kim and LSU have to offer.

Yup. And if that's what Serah wants, and she feels her skills fit into LSU's program, then good for her. Depending on the factor, one could say "not everyone wants ___________ at __________".
 
I think it will come down to what good she likes more. Is it famous BBQ from Carolina’s. Jambalaya and Po Boys from Louisiana or the best pizza in America from Connecticut. Easy enough…
 
I heard that Serah will be visiting UCONN next week. Can anyone verify? If true, then she will surely have a lot to weigh in her decision. And if true, then she didn't give Kim a commitment. I sure hope she says Yes to Geno.

Probably not. UConn does not advertise/announce much in terms of recruiting and visits. There is always chatter if a player is visiting, however we won't see the photo/video spreads, aka LSU etc. Over the last few years of transfers, we'll probably know when the player announces, LOL.

Yeah, I would like to see us add someone to the 2026 class. It has been ages since we landed an actual signing. Sarah strong was the last one I think.

Players in the 2026 class cannot sign until Nov. 13, 2025. They can only verbally commit to a school which is non-binding.
 
We have two portal players at UConn visiting and there is room for both. For Serah it’s a one year commitment. For Kayleigh it’s a three commitment. We loose Fudd; Ducharme and Williams is she signs. That’s three openings.

There is plenty of room for Kate; Jerzy and Olivia. If an opening does occur I hope that we could Jason Bjorn’s sister Addison.

Kate and Jerzey won’t go to the same team. They play the same position

If I had to choose between them, I'd pick Jerzy over Kate. But it doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

I’d rather have Kate running my offense at PG. Jerzy is great and will be a matchup nightmare at the 2/3.
 
On the UConn board there are a bunch of comments on whether Kayleigh Heckel should become a part of the team. A lot to read but one comment stood out as it referred to Harpring.

I’m a believer in the recruiting system. However, as we have found out over various years players change their minds. And, others like to wait. Now it’s NIL for many of them as well.

So what does Geno do here? You might get a young lady that was highly ranked prior to going to Southern California. She fits some teams needs and can play point. Plus, she had three years of eligibility left.

Do you say no and shoot for the stars in hoping that the best guard in the country might want to come and he a part of the UConn squad? Tough call. If I had to make the choice I would take Kayleigh Heckel if she wants to play at UC. You have to take the sure thing.

We then would still have three scholarships available for the loaded 2026 Class. Vukosa, Robinson and Bjorn are you reading for your calling?
 
If we are getting Heckel, I assume we are really down to only two targets in 2026. The Big O and Robinson.

Because when you look at roster spots; we really don’t have very many. And those two players seem like the ones we are really going hard for.
 
If we get Heckel, that’ll make a roster of 15. Azzi, Caroline and Serah will be leaving next year. Assuming Ice takes her redshirt year, that’ll be three open roster spots.

With Big O and Jerzy, UConn is also a finalist for Abii, Bjorn and Kamora Pruitt. ‘26 class could go so many ways and might just come down to who commits first.
 
I read about Kayleigh and she seems to be a really good (but not great) PG. I think Henkel wants PT, and if she comes aboard, she might well earn it at the expense of others' PT. I like the make-up of the current team, and we wouldn't be filling a big need with her joining as we did with Serah Williams. I think Geno should keep the scholly open for '26. It will be a loaded class.

I’m bummed that Kneepkens went to UCLA.

I don't believe she ever had UConn on her list and probably vice-versa. She would come in as a senior (already played 4 years, one redshirt) and is more of a shooting guard (like Azzi) than a point guard. Serah was a critical add, Heckel would be a nice add, and we did not have room for 3.
 
Time to say thank you after the upcoming season.

1) Azzi Fudd
2) Caroline Ducharme
3) Serah Williams

The following year.

1) KK Arnold
2) Ashlynn Shade
3) Ice Brady (Maybe)
4) Ayanna Patterson (Maybe, Maybe)

The following year.

1) Sarah Strong
2) Morgan Cheli
3) Allie Ziebell
4) Jana El-Aly (Maybe)

The following year.

1) Kelis Fisher
2) Blanca Quinnones (Spelling)
3) Gandy (Last Name) too long we need a nickname.

That’s 14 spots. Now we wait and see what Heckel decides to do.
