For spots 14 and 15, I would pick a guard (e.g., Chen or Olsen). For the other position we need someone who is taller and defensively minded. I am sure Geno has a good view on the health status of the current bench and will make judicious choices to balance the needs of 2024/25 and beyond.
 
Has anyone seen any interest in Morgan Chelli‘s teammate McKenna Woliczko. In all the videos of Morgan, she seems to be the other really good player on that team and only being a sophomore. She should just get better. She may also grow another inch to fill out at 6feet 3inches. She appears to have a real high motor and seems to be in the right spot at the right time.

She is a POI..Class of 2026 on posted list..
Not only the "other really good player," but (I believe) was the POY in their league this year as a Sophomore!
Would love to see her head east to Storrs !
 
I like Clara Stack from Va Tech if a big is to be acquired from the transfer portal. Looked quite impressive as heir apparent to Kitley and plenty of years to go. Unless of course she is planning to follow her old coach.

I don't see Auriemma recruiting over the 4 very good young guards he already has, two sophs and two freshman. And Olson isn't going to be looking for a place to share PT with Bueckers, Fudd, Shade, and Arnold. She'll be the lead guard someplace.

I think it’s unlikely, too. But I can also see why Geno might give it a thought. After all, he has to replace a veteran playmaker at pg, and Lucy is a proven commodity. And she has fire in her eyes like Nika. Is there a motivator on the current roster? Paige has said she wants to take on this role. But having a second fire breather might be quite useful.
 
As much as I like what Lucy Olsen brings to the table, I don’t see this happening. Given Geno’s close relationship with Harry Paretta as well as Denise Dillon, in my opinion, it would seem like rubbing salt in the wound by taking her. The only way he would take her would be by Harry and Denise’s blessing.
 
Curious why there is so much focus on recruiting a guard, with shooting guards mentioned the most. Huskies have 6 strong guards led by the 2024-25 best guard in the US, Paige, who will continue to demand major minutes. We also have strong wings coming in or back in Q, Cheli, and Griffin, allowing Geno to go with a small forward instead of a 3 guard lineup as needed. While I expect Ice's knee to have fully healed and Strong to contribute immediately, the other UConn bigs are coming off major injuries. Seems like a big who is a strong defender and rebounder, while more difficult to find, would add a lot.
