The whole Joyce/LSU discussion was loosely tied to Sarah Strong potentially committing to UConn. But yes, let’s try to stick to UConn recruit speculation! Glad we have this thread now (it has been great getting to speculate/discuss without getting our posts deleted though)
I doubt Dawn "cooked" it. "Ordered" it from a Columbia area island restaurant and "served" it is more likely.
Rumors on Twitter are that she committed at first night and given how many UConn players she started following right after and that started following her plus the tiktok she just posted with Allie, I am inclinded to believe it.
I'm big on her becoming a Husky. IMO she could be a future difference maker. I think she could be the sleeper of the class of 2024.
Pat Summit was a notorious player thieve, but she was too much a force in the SEC so coaches swallowed her behavior.
When you compete with LSU for athletes in any sport you have to be aware of the huge NIL money that they get for their players. I think that will be effective in the short run, but athletes that are looking for more than a college career will eventually see the big money up front isn't necessarily going to get them to where they want to get. In the end only five can play at a time so it will be interesting to watch play out.
All’s fair in love and war, and recruiting. I seem to recall that Maya appeared to be headed to Knoxville until she abruptly announced her decision to play for Geno.
Arianna may be a " sleeper" in the (possible) UCONN 2024 but when she comes (not "if" IMO) she
As good as Strong is, and she is very good, I actually think that Arianna has a greater upside.
That would be fantastic for UCONN to have two great posts at the same time!
I hope so! Getting them to both commit would be ideal. But it’s a good sign that Arianna has a good relationship with Morgan Cheli and Sarah seemingly has a good relationship with Arianna. I think we saw from their Tik Tok video that they all got along really well. Only time will tell…
Thank you. I had never heard that info before. Also, I recall reading about Amari when she was a senior in high school as having the kind of talent you just stated that Roberson has. And yes, along with so many other on the BY, I hope Strong and Roberson commit to UConn.
Only two? I’m speculating that any of these players have the height to play in the post: Arianna, Jana, Amari, Gandy, and I am hoping we can add the Big “O” to the team. Ice and Sarah could be inserted in a pinch but I see them more as forwards.
How small? Who do you have in mind?
Kelis and Allie are small enough.
thinking don't matter. just upsets you.
The UT - UConn battle started with Shea. I believe her mom had played with Pat and Pat was after her real bad There was some talk that she would stay home and go to UNC. Then she visited UConn and knew that was the spot for her.
It seems to me like no one knows for sure, so I don’t think we can take any rumors too seriously. Did the UNC board give any reason as to why they thought Sarah had chose UConn?
I believe if she waits until Spring she won't be committing to UConn. It would be tough to lose two coveted front court players to North Carolina. One last season and one this season.
