Karlen: 5.8 Win Shares, 27.6 PER

Weimar: 7.2 Win Shares, 33.2 PER

Looks about right given the difference in competition. Boston U is a mid major program with a mid major schedule and would be about the equivalent of Butler in the Big East. Both are nice players but Karlen is more tested.

Very true but Weimar has won the Patriot League Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and ECAC first-team honors so she's the best of the best at that level.............she's proven to be an excellent rebounder and shot blocker which is probably the most important weakness that UConn needs to address.......I think with Azzi back and the addition of Ziebell and Cheli the outside shooting shouldn't be much of an issue next year and if Ducharme returns to 100% she's also capable of playing that big guard or wing role.......assuming Ms. Strong goes elsewhere, if I could I'd like to take them both unless someone better enters the portal over the next few weeks which is somewhat likely....

Marquette’s strength of schedule is 67, Boston U’s is 309.

Ms Weimar's resume reminds me of a certain someone else that came out of nowhere and joined the Huslies for a 5th year. Did rather well too as I recall. What was her name....Lou something...? :D

Ah for got it, my bad.

just saying I’m the quiet part out loud. I don’t think Lawson is who Tennessee goes after, despite the timing being suspicious. But if they do I’d most want UConn to go after Roberson.

The thought of A. Roberson came to my mind... But the limit of scholarships is still there pending the decision of
"She who must not be named"... well, you know, Sarah.

So Harper out at Tennessee you would think Lawson from Duke would be high on the list to replace her and SS falls into UConn’s lap ?

Or becomes Kara’s first big recruit at Tennessee!:(

How does Sarah Strong not choose UConn after watching tonight’s game! What Geno Auriemma has been able to do with this team has been incredible and just goes to show the type of program that Uconn is.

Well tomorrow is the McDonald’s all American game

Maybe she will commit during the game

Just realized that two of the schools that made Lara Somfai’s Top 5 will have different coaches by the time she commits. Wonder how that will impact UConn’s chances.

Stanford is a possibility to have a coaching change too, reading through their board. It sounds like people think Tara might do one more year to help them make the switch to the new conference and then retire. Not my opinion, just what I’ve read.
 
I am sure no one wants to hear another Sarah Strong conjecture, but just wondering if the coaching vacancy at Tennessee and the rumors starting about Kara possibly leaving Duke to return to her alma mater would have any effect on her selection process.

if u or I was in her position, then that's a good question.

but she's sarah, not us. nor anyone else. maybe (probably) she's got other things to consider. that's fine.

i don't understand the obsession with her. even assuming she is the bestest thing since sliced cheese, if she doesn't choose uconn we'll be fine.

(BTW, i've got a pet peeve about many folks' reactions to a recruit going elsewhere: If she does so i ain't gonna wish whoever it might be 'well.' i don't see any need to wish her anything at all. i don't know the kid. there's no need to be politically correct or polite. my wishes are irrelevant. like i said, this is just my take and a nagging pet peeve.)

At least 2. One left for a different school, and one was fired. Last year, I heard the rumor that Tara would coach just 1 year in the ACC. Then there's the rumor that Kara might go back to Knoxville. On the other hand, Geno is working on a 5-year extension.

One reason for the obsession is I do not believe we have had a #1 recruit wait for the spring signing period to commit. She and Barry being the only 'names' still pending tends to focus peoples attention, and it lasts 6 months. And since Uconn isn't in on Barry, this board is laser focused.

I'd think it would weigh heavily against them unless two serious coaches with proven track records replaced them

Really? Was this in the news somewhere? Or do you have insider info? :cool:
 
Anyone have any thoughts so far with the McDonald’s All-American game?

I have been pretty impressed with her so far! She just seems to have a competence and confidence about her that makes me think she would be successful at UConn (especially as a freshman)

I have liked what Allie and Morgan have shown for sure. Morgan hustling for an O board during open play makes me happy to see her in UCONN uniform next season (plus her outlet passing is great). Allie is a menace from beyond the arc; her, Azzi, Paige, and Ash will be scary.
 


Apparently Sarah and Cooper Flagg (men’s duke commit) were pictured together recently. Not sure if it’s because they are just both the top ranked recruits in the McDonald’s All American game or if it’s because they are both Duke bound

They are both the number one recruits and MacDonald's All-Americans. It was just part of McD's promotion for their event. Nothing to worry about.
