UConn General Team Recruiting Thread

[superfanwbb]

That isn’t what I read as a subscriber to Milkey. I’ve only seen her say Kansas for Bjorn with a large gap then possibly UConn and a few others.

I'm not a subscriber. Someone who is a subscriber told me. Didn't Skim say that he was 90% sure Bjorn wasn't to Iowa? And that Bjorn had a certain inclination to UConn? And that Kansas had some chance because it was close to her home and she had some personal ties there? Don't get hung up on the exact wording because it's a wireless phone lol. So it's more about the idea Skim conveyed than the exact wording.

No, Skim stated what I relayed above. Kansas is most likely but not a guarantee at this point. I have not seen skim associate Bjorn with Iowa at any point.

Kansas be the most likely is a little surprising.

Not every kid is entirely focused on having a shot at an NC.

True but Addison Bjorn has talked about wanting to win a NC in several interviews she has given so Kansas would be surprising to me as well.

And this was something Bjorn always mentioned in interviews: that she wanted to win an NC.

If that’s true, then Kansas doesn’t look like a realistic prospect. Unless her parents insist that she stay close to home.

Maybe that's why many people began to say that Uconn was Bjorn's fav. It was also reported that she visited Storrs several times. I don't know if Uconn was truly the leader and lost ground, or if she was just a rumor.

In response to @RSHERMVIKES question emoji, I merely meant that if a kid’s top priority is an NC — and not all kids make this a priority — but if they do, then a school like Kansas looks like an odd choice. I’d expect them to favor schools that have been past the second round of the tournament recently.

Bone Dog- - It always confuses me when HS players say they want to be the best but won’t go to UConn?
The only school that offers every incentive to a great future is UConn!
Their alumni has achieved unbelievable achievements!

There are other programs that will also give players this experience, SC to name one, among others. It is hard, however, to play for both of these schools, Geno, Dawn, especially with the expectations that come with the experience. It can be overwhelming, even to the most prepared and talented players, and that's what sets these programs apart.

BRS24- - - -Yes but not to the level that UConn has!
They have at least 5 alumni that will be inducted into both the Women's BB Hall of Fame and Springfield BB Hall of Fame!
And that is not even counting current players on UConn's roster now!

If we are only getting Vukosa, I think a shooting guard in the portal would make a lot of sense as an addition. 🤔

All round Shooting guard or 3 point specialist?

 

[Stagnant]

I would say all around. We would be losing Paige and Azzi in back to back years.

 

[superfanwbb]

I don't know if this profile is stealing information from Skim Discord again, but I think he's trying to say this:

Jerzy to SC
Sara Okeke or Bri Crittendon to Tennessee
Addison Bjorn to Kansas
Olivia Jones or Jhai Johnson to Vandy
Kaeli Wynn to SC

If Skim is the original source, it's reliable; if 99Feet is the source, it's not reliable.

Part of 15 this year is that it is possible that some part of Malou-Mamel, Ducharme, Patterson, and Cheli (and possibly Fisher) are not seen as reliable floor contributors for this team. Much of that goes away after this season and perhaps Geno is not looking for such a full roster.

I would also give Ziebell a chance to prove herself this season. That would alleviate any need and eliminate a clear path to PT for any UConn level transfer.
