This is a thread to discuss known players of interest and other potential recruits. This thread is different from the monthly recruiting thread in that thread drifts and posters discussing their hopes on who comes to UConn aren’t allowed there. While this thread has more latitude, it’s still about the recruits, how they might fit into the team, who you wish to see come, deeper discussion about their skill sets, recent performances etc.
  • No transfer talk EVER (see the rules tacked at the top of the board)
  • No discussion of who is staying/going

IO don't understand the ground rules here at all. but I feel it is a waste of time to speculate on what may or may not occur. Why not just wait until there is concrete news?

I agree with him..........if she stays healthy and continues on her current path, she has the chance to be a generational talent, even better than Aliyah Boston............if there ever was a must-get recruit for UConn the Big "O" is it.......

Ever? Does that include when Stewie a recruit?

you got me!! How about the most impactful must-get recruit at the post since Stefanie Dolson
Expand ...

ESPN ranked Dolson 39th. That isn't a "must get" ranking.

Anyway, "must get" means "do it or die". The NCAA topurnament is a series of "must win" games. If it's a must then failure to do it means the end, fini. And that doesn't happen in recruiting. The program moves on. If UConn doesn't sign Strong they will not end wbb at UConn. The best you could say for Strong is that like Bueckers she is a "high priority" recruiting target.

If the need is more at the 4, I prefer her there, but if she was paired with Aubrey, then despite the inch in height and more pounds, it would probably be best to have Sarah at the 3 and Aubrey at the 4. Clearly Aubrey has shown she can play both, as I presume Sarah could, but I believe Aubrey has been better upfront than on the wing, and Sarah looks to have significantly better perimeter shooting, handles and passing.

In 15-16 UCONN had both Tuck and Stewie inside-and-out. With Sarah I expect her role to be similar to them- she is inside-out - with mostly perimeter facing the basket in a motion offense. Tuck and Stewie averaged about the same number of 3's per minute played.

If she plays with Aubrey -Offensively Aubrey is the inside player but depending on the team - Aubrey could be guarding 3's . So, who is the 4 or who is the 3? It depends on how you look at it. Aubrey is goign to set picks if need be as well in order to get the ball to Sarah. Sarah will set some as even Paige sets picks in a motion offense but mostly the picks if needed will be set by someone like Aubrey.
 


Not sure this account is always super reliable, but I take this post to indicate some breaking news about Sarah Strong soon. Could be nothing, but idk maybe she decided to commit to UConn after Geno came to her game this past week? Fingers crossed
 
All of us hoping for a Sarah Strong commit are setting themselves up for disappointment. She will not commit to UConn. The numbers simply don’t work and there are no other indicators she’s heading UConn’s way. Hope I’m wrong but way past time to focus elsewhere.

It means nothing.
 
Anyone heard if Geno or other UConn staff will be at Sarah Strong’s state championship game today? I saw that Kim Mulkey will be there.

Doubt it, as they’re headed to Chicago for the DePaul game tomorrow. Probably why he went to the game prior.

Not too surprised with any of these schools listed except maybe Duke. I haven’t heard them mentioned much really. Do we think this represents her top 5?
Expand ...

I read on another board that she wasn’t considering NC State anymore (though not confirmed), so this could very likely be her Top 5.

Duke could be a dark horse. She’s very close with Duke commit, Arianna Roberson, and her Mom and Coach Lawson used to work together for the Celtics.
