UConn didn't have to mention it. The top players on these summer shoe circuits, Nike, UA, Adidas etc. all have a good idea of who's being recruited by who. There's a lot of communication going on during those long tournament weekends.
I'm sure if you continue posting this same thing 2-3 times every day, Geno will get right on it.
I think Macy may have seen the handwriting on the wall, not so much that Somfai contacted her, but more likely that she was getting the feedback from Uconn that Somfai was showing great interest, and that she was likely Uconn's first choice. Obviously I don't know with any confidence, and now it doesn't really matter regarding Leah, but it still could be an issue with Bryn, if she senses she was plan B or plan C
And Leah’s writing always spelled ND. Might just be that simple. Like Sarah Strongs always said UConn but both took visits to confirm what their hearts and heads were telling them.
Macy may have made her own conclusions but she would likely not have gotten that specific info on Somfai from UConn. And UConn may have indicated to either Somfai or McGaughy that they were their top recruiting target but it's very unlikely that UConn would have shared specific names of other targets with them. The players have ways to find or figure that stuff out but it would rarely come direct from a coaching staff. You're right, it can always be an issue with a kid if they are aware of another top kid being recruited for the same position or empty roster spot as them as I say but it would be unusual for that info to come from the coaching staff.
I disagree with the pessimism of your analysis -- this is the wrong time of year for pessimism. But I was amused by this image, and it reminded me of something Pedro Guerrero once said about himself and Steve Sax, when they played 3rd base and 2nd base for the Dodgers.
Lara somfi like many international players
UCONN can certainly play Paige again at PF. It all depends on matchups. In addition it's not all upon UCONN's Defense- in that other teams have to defend UCONN too. Azzi torched Iowa, NC State, and Texas as a Sophomore. If she is healthy, putting her with Piage and the potential Sarah brings, makes UCONN one brutal opponent for opposing teams to contend with.
I think Sarah will be tremendous even in her freshman year. But some adjustment of expectations is in order, especially as regards rebounds. At 6’2”, she was one of the bigs in every game she played in high school. In D1 competition, she loses that advantage since in almost every game she’ll encounter larger and quite skilled posts. She is also very quick and strong, and now she’ll have to rely on that side of her talents even more. On offense, the picture is a little different. I don’t expect that she’ll have difficulty getting her perimeter shot off, and her passing game may be even better than it was in high school.
This is why you can't take these people seriously.
HG is always deluded. They had Cheli at #18 despite her being a candidate for HS POTY. They moved her up finally, but goshdarn the disrespect.
And yet on another thread there's talk of labelling UCONN palyers as busts because of their h/s rankings regardless ot the degree they contribute.
With respect. I believe that we pretty much know with regard to Anaya. Besides her injury history the odds of her ever averaging 17-18 points per game for a season is very iffy. Very.
My point was simply that nobody who knows what they’re looking at or doing would rate Malou-Mamel as a better player or college prospect than Macy AT THIS POINT.
Nah it’s cuz people hate UCONN getting good recruits . People were all over Sarah until she committed, now she’s not worthy of being number 1.
Well, they could be looking at other things. For example, skill in their chosen position. Macy doesn’t seem all that fast or athletic, and she’s a forward (though she seems to play more like a tall guard), so it’s somewhat important to have that skill. Gandy on the other hand, has nice footwork and control under the basket, also a forward. Her game may transfer better to college than Macy so far. Key word MAY. If we look at the other examples on the list, like Fisher, she’s incredibly athletic as a PG, gets to the rim quickly and has some hops. In her given position, those skills are incredibly useful, hence the higher rank.
How many times have you seen the both of them play for you to determine what you just posted?
Enough. It’s wasn’t that difficult. Five minutes of video on each was plenty.
