Welcome to Aubrey Griffin and Jordan Horston!

Ossining players seem like an iffy proposition. Chong was decent and Andra Espinoza-Hunter was … well. Is Geno that desperate for a recruit? She may be good but the Ossining attitude regarding hard work and fitting Geno's system seems less than optimal.

Are you really serious, or is this statement just a bad joke ?
 
Not to be an ALARMIST! But I saw a photo that Jordan Horston posted from her hotel room and she was wearing Alabama sweats..... Uh oh!!!!!! ;)

Plenty to chew on for both sides in that debate; just rather not have it when we are recruiting someone. More fun after the recruit bolts (now that was meant as a joke; a mean joke but a joke)

Adamec's article:

Recruit Griffin excited to give UConn a look

"Aubrey Griffin admits that the University of Connecticut is her dream school to continue her basketball and academic careers.

But reality is that she wants to be sure the biggest decision for her to date is the right one. That's why the 6-foot senior guard/forward from Ossining, New York, plans on taking four official visits - including this weekend's trip to Storrs - before making her call.

"I've always wanted to go there, but I need something to compare it to," Griffin said Thursday. "I've been so focused on UConn it was like I didn't look at other schools. So now I'm doing that. I need to do my homework to make sure that I pick the right school, the one that's right for me."

Does the rest of her list sound familiar?

"Griffin took her first official visit to Louisville a week ago. After returning home from UConn on Sunday, she'll go to Mississippi State the weekend of Sept. 28 and to South Carolina the weekend of Oct. 5.

She has made her share of unofficial visits to UConn to attend games. But her official visit is different.

"I want to see if I'm able to get along with the players and coaches," Griffin said. "I want to find a school that I'll be able to call home the next four years."

Griffin's father, Adrian, played at Seton Hall and in the NBA and is now the top assistant coach for the Toronto Raptors. Her mother, Audrey, was an All-American in track at Seton Hall."

I'll be a bit surprised if Griffin doesn't choose either UConn or Louisville...............

How good a buddy is she with AEH? AEH visited Miss State intending to visit these same schools. Never got out of Vic's office.

they certainly know each other but I don't know if they are close..........Coach Vic sure can reel them in and I have a feeling AEH will be happy to contribute to the conversation with her UConn war stories............on the other hand AEH is already complaining about the heat and the food down there on her twitter account.............

Aubrey doesn’t know yet if she gets along with the coaches and players. That sounds strange to me. Hasn’t she interacted with them before/after games?

I disagree that Cong was a "foul tip". I'd call he a bases clearing double. She started 33 games as a senior, helped UCONN win 3 NC's, averaged over 5.5 PPG and 2.1 APG, and I believe during her 4 years, amassed the best win-loss record of any UCONN player in our history.

Chong put in 4 positive years, the last as a starter. Even as a sub, she played key minutes in critical games. Would love to see more reserves with her level of skills. The past two years, UConn has had thin bench.

I think she views this final official visit in a far more serious light then her other visits.............who know how much time she's actually spent with the entire coaching staff and the current team in the past? I appreciate the fact that she is really trying to make the best possible decision so that she'll be less likely to regret it later on...........UConn can't afford any late changes of heart or transfers in the 2019/2020 classes......

One of the things, and I am paraphrasing, that AEH said when she left UCONN is that she committed to the Huskies so early that she didn't explore and compare other schools. Sounds like Griffin is doing what AEH should have done.

Give the kid a break. She'd never heard of MSU until 2 days before she committed. It was sorta cool when she visited and I'll admit barbecue for breakfast, lunch and dinner does get tedious despite the gastric excitement it brings.

Helicopters and lawn mowers.

So did AEH. She was there a lot. You'd think she has a better shot at evaluating those factors at UConn than any other place. If she thinks she's going to have a conversation about how and when Geno sees her making the starting rotation, then she hasn't been paying attention!

I started to say a 7-hop single up the middle, but I like your answer better. I'll add to it by saying she was batting 8th in the order.

Yes, she stands alone as the winningest four-year recruited scholarship player in UConn history, based on winning percentage.

We had Cong! I guess I Rip Van Winkled those 4 years. We had Cong and only have 11 Naties? What happened?

If I played with maya moore and Stewie, I’d have a lot of wins too.

Strange perversion of data.

What? What perversion?

A big deal was made out of it her senior season--here, and if I'm not mistaken, on some media outlets as well. Many fans like to follow such things, especially because UConn has so many players with many wins and few losses.

I was merely confirming what @EricLA had correctly said. Was he perverting the data? Why did you not respond to him?

"If I played with maya moore and Stewie, I’d have a lot of wins too." Thanks for the penetrating insight.

Thanks for stating what I would have liked to stated.
What goes unstated is how hard she worked to reach the level she reached her senior year. She certainly was not the best player on the team, but she perservered and became an important contributor to the success of the team.

Even if the top ranked player's mother or father is the coach?
