What do u all think. Just saw USF got a commitment from top junior college player to boost there roster for next season. Seeing a lot of transfers the past few days going everywhere but UCONN. Can’t understand why a top transfer player wouldn’t want to go to UCONN? Plenty of playing time available. I know Geno is selective but I would rather have a transfer that might not be the best option then having to go the walk-on route. I hope I’m not over reacting but I just hope we can at least land 2 grad transfers that can help with a depleted bench. There has to be some players out there that UCONN can use for next season.. what do u all think might happen here?? I’m sure we will know soon enough. Go Huskies

That's a pretty bold post.
 
I'm hoping we hear some good news about Anna Makurat by mid to late May, but there doesn't seem to be anyone on the horizon who could bolster our front court.
 
I'm sure Geno is making every effort to bolster the frontcourt. We need size and skill. Size alone will not help. In the past, posts who transferred in have been only mildly helpful.
 
Will UConn sign anyone?

Sounds like a great question for the Magic 8-Ball:

Obviously, we have signed Aubrey.

Beyond that, I hope so. Geno seems optimistic and is looking at non-traditional sources. I’m hoping for 1 European, 1 grad transfer, and 1 regular transfer. I hope we get 2 players, at least.

Oregon State just announced a 6'9" Serbian committed. They are out there. Wonder if she has a cousin ?

I understand your angst! The future could look bleak. I'm sure more than a fair share of transfers would want UConn, some won't.
A big issue for Geno is: How will a transfer help, how will they hurt the team chemistry and play.
Look at the transfers that Louisville, USC, etc accepted then ask: How would they fit in at UConn, how would they help, how would they hurt?
I think, I'd like a big, but I don't want anyone to disrupt what we have--they are a super team.
I'll start really worrying in JULY.

I have faith that the coaching staff is focusing on players that will fill the gaps and fit into our system, but I must admit, I am getting concerned given the silence.

Maybe we can raid the volleyball team for a walk on post, like we raided the track team a few years ago for a walk on (was it Pullido or Lawlor? I forget...) :cool:

That's the one that I was speaking about. Why can't we get a couple or three of those. Then we can form a football flying V offense down the court and play a more physical game.
 
Call me crazy but I think some of our bench will be strongly challenged to be better and will meet the challenge out of necessity and will make enough improvement to get themselves into a decent rotation.

I would put Coombs and Irwin in that category. I wish Batouly but I don't see her physical issues going away.

Except for some magical elite transfers, no one can be expected to come into our program and do a better job than our bench players who know the system (and the pressure of UConn) backwards and forwards.

Geno will need to bend a bit more and figure out how to use the bench a bit more (and not just AAC games) even if it means losing a few more games than may otherwise occur (and pray for 2020 to come quickly).

I guess a 'quiet' period is more quiet than a 'dead' period? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
Why on earth is Oregon State getting more bigs they already have a 6’9 redshirt freshmen and a few more players 6’7... Oregon State and Baylor are the 2 teams that always seem to land big players!! I hope Geno can convince Cordosa 6’7 to leave her state of Tennessee .. she’s the one player I want for 2020. I believe she has the potential to be a brittney grinder type of player.

Probably to piss off the UCONN fans?:eek:
 
And I’m still scratching my head of Boston!! Something went wrong at the very end in my opinion .. something changed her mind. The fact all these transfers coming out of SC makes me think something .. Boston in our back yard been to so many UCONN games and campus visits just made no sense. That’s the one player that will haunt me for years.. she has the ability to be a Tina Charles type of impact player in a Alaina Coates body.

Who is this Cordosa? Might you be scrambling to reference the Brasilian lady, Kamilla C A r d o s O? Her home state is most certainly not Tennessee. She is from Brasil. The high school she attends in TN is shutting down for lack,of funds. It is not clear where she might play next year, or whether it would be in her home country or U.S.A.

"brittney grinder" (sic) is another mystery. Is she a grind-it-out sort of player?
