Well to be fair to Hoopgurlz, we realize now that it was dying and I don't believe they ever did a late update of that class.

It will be interesting to see how good she really is.

With only nine players and four guards Saniya will get her minutes. As everyone found out last year injuries happen. You want everyone to be able to contribute, which is why she will play. As the season goes on Saniya will get more and more minutes so that she will be ready for the tournament. Also, who cares about rankings? There have been great players who were overlooked and supposed stars who tanked. Saniya will be an all-time great Husky.

I believe they moved here and still have her at 75.

I don't know anything about Alison Thomason, but that would have been Taurasi's year. I think they might have got that one wrong.

She attended Furman. Played only 5 games her 2nd year (started 4) and was off the roster the next season.

Yea, but I don't think they ever updated their list.

Actually I don't think she was even in their top 100 until last summer's revision. But I don't understand why it's relevant now? She got several offers from elite teams despite it. I'd say wait till she wows everyone and then ask Hanson at Pros Nat. & Clay over at Fullcourt about their astute assessments. Who knows, they could be right.

My opinion is that most players only get a minute (if that) of the rater's time and unless their parents are shelling out to one of the AAU businesses that pose as teams today then they better walk on water in that minute.

Thanks David! I see Saniya getting some playing time but not a lot. I think she will do very well for a UCONN freshman. She has no pressure to perform right away. She will have the luxury of learning from our great coaching staff and playing with Bria & Mo.

Actually Kevin- I see her getting alot of playing time- especially in our conference games. He likes getting the talented freshman into the fold. He won't need to - but he will. We didn't win some National Championships because of our injuries/ lack of depth. Now that Geno has some depth, I think he'll cultivate it if she shows the fire and desire!
Sat with Saniya at regionals and her mom- she was super nice and personable- like most of our gems are!
