UConn Going to Australia for Prized Recruit?

[Geew1992]

Nicole Wolfe gave up her final year of eligibility and it wasn't to go to the WNBA. Butler could, I would think not, but could do the same thing.

I wasn't so much being snide or flippant as I was being glib. Come on lighten up just a little, it is not that serious. Butler could chose to leave because she has completed her degree, that is not quitting it is called graduating.

For what it's worth, what you said was hardly a fireable offense. Not even enough to raise an eyebrow.

Sure she was. I know Kirsten Walters left the team due to her injuries. But Wolfe was still on the team and could have returned for a 5th year. She chose not to.

Yep, I was thinking of Walters. My bad.

But she was a shell of the player she once was pre injuries.

Interesting article on the Aussie impact on the WNBA

Aussie impact took WNBA to higher level

I just re-watched the 2000 national title. That was an impressive team. I mean we had 8 solid players... 2 backup good players, and then the rest of the bench....
Sue, Swin, Shea, Sveta, Tamika, Asjha, KJ, Kelly.... back up of Paige and Stacey.... and then we had Marci C and Big Rigs.... I would love to see us at a solid 8-10 player rotation with some good bench support....

That's my all time favorite replay.

I found it interesting that other than UCONN she is also looking at UCLA, Washington, Stanford, Duke, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina. WOW "North Carolina"? I guess she didn't get the memo (LOL)

Triad needs to update his mailing list.

Longer flight to the East coast. But Aussies are tough, right?

According to Carl Adamec UConn is no longer recruiting Horvat.

Hopefully they have great news concerning Walker!

That is where my mind went, but I doubt Walker would shift her stated decision timing intentions that dramatically. Of course, the lead up to the Olympics has underlined the value of a Geno basketball education with plenty of press and plenty of quotes from WNBAers who are not UConn grads and Olympic personnel, etc.

That's the old Boneyard optimism. You go guy!

UConn has 12 on scholarship for 2016-17 with two seniors; and they will have 13 on scholarship with three seniors for 2017-18..... (and plenty of wings).

I don't think Horvat was seriously in the mix for an offer. Walker I think has an offer .... I don't know if there is anyone else holding an offer.
