I'm with you - I'd love for a quick decision to make us fans feel better. BUT... I would think these kids would want to visit the campus and meet with potential teammates/coaches. I'm actually more surprised by the kids who decide quickly. Have they REALLY done their homework? Visited, talked...

I'd love to land Lara. Plus, Australia owes us a post player (rumor was that Ezi Magbegor would have come to UConn if Lauren Jackson had not convinced her to forego American college and stay in Australia to work with the Australian National Team)...

So thrilled for her! She will enjoy every second of her experience! Girl's still got game!! :D

That was actually a great interview and a bunch of interesting questions for Coach.

They ranked ALL of them from best to worst. Collier is the worst. Hard to argue that Bird hasn't had a better career than Parker. A couple nits, but pretty good list order, overall IMHO. Maya could have been a/the GOAT, but she didn't stay in the league long enough.

It seems like the only reason we care is because others say we are not. I pulled this from Wikipedia on the definition of "blue bloods": In American college basketball, the term "blue bloods" is used in reference to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I basketball programs...

How did Stef Dolson work out?

She's the one in the portal I really want. Aside from Iriafin, should she enter. I think she'd start from day 1 and give Jana a chance to ease into the rotation...

So... it's been about 30 hours since that tweet - I'm a little bit shook I'll admit, but we just had a very mild earthquake so...

OJ Simpson... Sorry... too soon?

This is so awesome. IF anyone feels like it, post some snips of the Kentucky reaction on our board LOL. I bet it's going to be comical!

Write up on Gandy from ASGR - really nice stuff, and the result of lots of hard work on her part:

@MilfordHusky posted in a different thread that on one recruiting site, she was listed in the 20's or maybe 30's. Pretty remarkable. BTW, it wasn't "Eric's recruiting page" that ranked her. It was something like ASGR or BS - a legit service. Ken - do you recall?

Not sure I understand the rush for these lists. Tons of players in the portals, not everyone has officially announced as to who's leaving for the draft, etc. So teams could look a lot different a month from now than they do today...

If I had to guess, I'd say Iriafen officially entering the portal. She would be the biggest catch I think at this time. But then again, that wouldn't break the internet, I don't think. Caitlin announcing she's changed her mind and coming back probably would break the internet... ???

I hope it was just due to personal reasons like wanting to spend more time with family, feeling she'd accomplished all she wanted, not interested in all the travel, etc. Or maybe simply kicking back with a nice glass of wine, relaxing with her feet up on the ottoman, and enjoying retirement.

thank you. obviously i need to update mine but when i try, i get a message that the "signature is too long", so i need to get a mod to fix it...

I know it's natural to try to rank them, but I'm not a fan of it. Not that I mind - certainly not complaining that it's discussed, but my attitude is more like... Hard to really say "who was the best" since they played with different teams, had different skill sets, had different...

I wasn't comfortable until it was about 4 minutes left with the double digit lead. I was doing quick math "even if we don't score any more and Purdue does, if we take 30 seconds off the shot clock"... blah blah. I kept waiting for Purdue to make a run - obviously they were going to ride Edey as...

Girls/Boys, Gals/Guys, Women/Men. I honestly don't get the ruffled feathers when someone refers to them as "girls". So many more things to get worked up about.

Echo what everyone else has said. Tremendous teammate and person. Wish her the very best wherever she goes. Once a Husky, always a Husky. Will be rooting hard for her to succeed wherever she ends up!!

So glad we landed her. Time will tell, but there are #1's, and then there are #1's. Meaning different levels of #1 recruits. I think we can all acknowledge that Dee, Maya, Stewie, and Paige are the holy grail of #1 recruits. Tina is #1A IMHO (was NPOY her senior season). KML had a tremendous...

I echo the "bummer but expected" comments. I loved Amari on the team. She was a great teammate and cheerleader from the bench. I really hope she's able to land somewhere she feels will be a good fit for her and that she has some good success there. I really did love everything about the kid from...

Obviously injuries will play a huge role (ie. who's ready)? IF Caroline is 100%, I could see her starting over Ice or Sarah. There will be huge debates about it all summer. At some point I (or someone else) will post a poll of the entire roster and let fans vote for 5 as to who they think will...

You make a good point, but on the flip side... I'm not sure Geno has ever had this much talented depth. I imagine we will hear about this all summer - "how will Geno be able to 'keep everyone happy' on the roster with PT"? My answer to that is twofold. First, not sure he "has" to keep everyone...

+100 Charlie. People who are saying "but it was a foul" - just stupid. How about the play where Clark forearm shivered KK out of the way on an offensive drive... no call. IF you are going to call that (the foul on Liya), then both teams should have had all their starters foul out by half time.

Great game and great season, but that last foul should have been a no-call. Horrible by the ref. Taking the game out of the hands of the players and inserting the ref into the game. Just awful. So proud of our guys. They did what Geno feared they couldn't - come back from a deficit in the 4th...

So I live in Los Angeles and am at the grocery store getting ready to leave. My windows are open and I hear some guy say, "Woah - UConn license plate - is this Donnell's car?" He comes around to my window. Obviously I'm not Donnell (I'm a 59 year old white guy), but says "Oh. Thought maybe this...

What a great video. Geno - the master of understatement. Very hushed tone and low voice - to Paige "WBCA came out. You are 1st team AA". Then to Aaliya "And so are you"... Then he backs away and lets the team go bananas. They were so excited for her, and they know just as well as we do what...

Great to see them all having fun and being silly. Easy to forget they really are still just kids... It does look like Yanna spent some time in a taffy pull... Ice is a legit 6'3"+. I met her. If Ayanna is really grown and/or is a few inches taller... I echo @psconn - would be super cool!!

Congrats to all the players, but especially Paige and Liya. well deserved!

The interesting thing about that - what was Aaliyah rated coming out of HS? How about Nika? And even tho KK was in the top 10 and Ash in the top 20, both are freshmen. Not to mention the only 2 core subs off the bench are freshmen also. So where is all this "star power" that gets bandied about...

That his head is a basketball and she needs to pass or shoot it! That, or he's in desperate need of getting his hair messed up... That seems to be a reoccurring theme over the years - mess up coach's hair!

Unless the Mississippi hiring and selection committee have lived in a cave for the past several years, there is no way they are unaware of the circumstances surrounding Hillsman's departure from Syracuse and the allegations, reports, etc. It seems either they don't care, or believe he's changed...
