Sarah will pick : UCONN 1, Duke 2, UNC 3. If she goes to UNC, there will not be enough support around her to get to a NCAA Championship....(that's the problem with IOWA. Caitlin is the GOAT but supporting cast is weak).

If she goes to UCONN, they will be an instant contender with Carolina.

I will be mildly surprised if she doesn’t announce for UConn. There were rumors months ago that she had already committed to UConn but Geno told her to think about it, if she wasn’t 100% sure. If she’s as good as advertised she will play as a freshman, maybe all forty minutes like Ashlyn. Lol
 
Strong’s choice will be determined by what her priorities are. Obviously the three schools left have satisfied her desires at some level So I think we can eliminate the actual schools as a factor. Coaches? You have to believe she is fairly happy with all three. Facilities? I have to believe UConn‘s are probably the best but I’m sure all are top notch. Rosters? Again UConn clearly has the best roster but it may be that she likes some player on the other two and wants to play with them. Chances for a title? This one is overwhelmingly UConn! The question is, how important is a title to Ms Strong? Finally, Family! Is being close to home important to her? Here is where UConn loses big time! We can only hope Sarah is eager to get out in the world and is ready to stretch her wings!:rolleyes:

All excellent points. I want to believe that when a Player of Sarah Strong's abilities graduates from HS, she would want to pursue the best School for the combination of Academics, Quality of the Basketball Program and it's level of Competition, the ability to develop her game to become a WNBA star and future Olympian, and so on... and that proximity to family is some where further down the list. UCONN has gotten some great players who became better players from all over the Country (DT from California, KLS from California, Maya Moore from Missouri, Napheesa Collier from Missouri, Paige Bueckers from Minnesota, AND many more)... These women became nationally known in WBB and went on to Olympics, WNBA and other exceptional careers. And, their Moms and Dads were able to make the trips to see they play across the country because of the kind of Schedule Geno put together every year.

Spread your Wings Miss Strong... there is a lot to see in this here USA. :):cool:

In that case, I wonder if Aubrey's return has any impact on her decision. It really shouldn't, I'm no expert but I wouldn't expect Aubrey back before late December/January, and even then with some serious minutes limitations.

It would have zero impact. As you mention Aubrey injury and when she returns she won't be ready for some time. Also Aubrey is mor of a slash rebounder. UCONN struggles more with power rebounding teams. Plus Sarah is the better passer and shooter. Wen Aubrey comes back she'll be off the bench like she has mostly been and a valued contributor. While Sarah may verily be 2nd leading scorer or if she is really super -- Paige is gonna make sure she is the number 1 scorer because we know Paige lives-and-breathes for passing though she is tremendous scorer too.


The thing is—I believe an elite strength (other than shooting/scoring) of Sarah is her passing. So, like Paige, but different, she is going to set up everyone and make them better too. That's why we say she is so perfect for this team.

1--- UCONN loves to run a passing motion offense - she's a passer.
2-- UCONN loves to take 3's in fats paced offense, she's a 3pt shooter.
3--- UCONN needs tough inside rebounding. She’s a tough inside rebounder.
4--- UCONN currently has one player in Paige you can have go one-on-one and score efficiently after Aaliyah leaves. Sarah would be the 2nd.

Waiting on the final bracket. Not a lot of changes at the top. High probability it will remain as predicted with UConn a 3 in Portland 3. Should that remain, and Duke a 6 also in Portland 3, we would play them in Round 2 at home. Another probability that Sarah would be in attendance and make her announcement after the game?

I've read this elsewhere, and based on how little information came out of the Strong camp, I don't think is their style? If her decision is between UConn & Duke, announcing it after that potential matchup would potentially be a bit bitter for either team.

Almost as bad as a coin toss.

5 -- UConn has had some GREAT high-low combos. Gabby led the team in assists twice, and Stef had some very high-assist years. Stewie and Tuck both had over 100 some years.

Has anyone seen any indication that Aubrey has had her surgery. I have not seen the usual UConn announcement of successful surgery.

And I still can't believe the Committee will send UCONN to Portland when they know UCONN fans will flock to Albany... i.e., more revenue for the NCAA.

……….has pointed out the parallels between the recruiting of Sarah Strong and the great UConn forward Shea Ralph. Both from North Carolina, both were High All-Stars in North Carolina and both lived in the shadows of their mom’s who were both college basketball stars, both were the national high school POY. Last but not least, both endured spirited recruiting battles before choosing a college. Tennessee, UConn, and North Carolina were among the many schools pursuing Shea with Geno eventually winning that battle.
