2020-2021-2022 UConn Recruit and Target Thread

[sivad40]

I can understand A&T (and even respect it, honestly) if she’s drawn to attending an HBCU. But UNCW...?

UNCW is her hometown school. It's like if Gabby Williams would have listed UNLV as one of her finalists.

It would be like Gabby choosing Nevada, not UNLV, but I suppose that makes more sense.

Geographically, I think I was mixing her up with Teonni Key, who is outside of Raleigh.

UNCW? Girl, please.

I still don’t get all the Tennessee love

I still don’t get all the Tennessee love

I’m going to withhold my judgement on Tennessee recruits for the next couple of years to give KJH a chance to prove herself.

Am I the only one who read the player list and saw PBR and was immediately transported back to college days drinking the $1 cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon?

$1 a can?

We paid 7.00 a case in the late 80’s

This seems like a list designed not to offend anyone.

Like out at a bar, not in a case

Uhhh, what I don't get is why the coaches are recruiting a player who said "But now all I can think of is that I want to beat UConn." a few months ago. She is very talented and extremely athletic though.

Maybe they were impressed by her competitive spirit in wanting to beat UConn. If you recall, Christyn Williams had similar feelings though I don't know if she let them be known prior to UConn recruiting her.

In case it has not been noted here, Saniyah Rivers has UConn in her Top 12 announced via Twitter: Link: https://mobile.twitter.com/ihoop___22?lang=en

Cause she’s a young teenager and they change their minds all the time

Jocyte is lithe like Paige. She is very smooth with the ball, can get her own shot off the dribble and is very, very good from midrange. Hard to believe she's playing up 2 years. I was very impressed. Thanks for attaching the video.

UNCW is a local option for her very near her home. Coach Karen Barefoot has the Seahawks on the rise.

Dear UNCW, Indiana, NC A and T, North Carolina and (sorry @triaddukefan) Duke. When it comes to Saniya Rivers I'd like to introduce you to a guy named Chance.

Didn't Christyn Williams say something similar?

 

[Hayven]

Didn't Christyn Williams say something similar?

Did she? I only remember her saying once she got the call from UConn, she was all in

 

[DaBball]

Didn't Christyn Williams say something similar?

Hers was before UConn had reached out to her:

"I was thinking, 'Where's UConn?' They're not even contacting me, so I'm going to beat them," she said.

Christyn received her UConn offer on January 17, 2016. I don't think anywhere it specifically said she was not open to UConn as an option as it did for Saniya.

Whether or not UConn had been in contact with Saniya or not -- I'm not sure.

Still think it is similar timing and same sentiment on the part of both players. Williams was #2 in the class at the time, same as Rivers is now. Neither player had heard from UCONN, so their focus became finding a school, from among those schools they had heard from, that was good enough to beat UCONN. Once both players heard from UCONN things changed. UCONN saw Rivers play AAU within weeks of that quote being published. All good IMO especially if Rivers ends up at UCONN as Williams did. As I have said before in the hands of a master craftsman Rivers could be special-NDPOY special. I only could 2.5 master craftsman/woman among her 12 schools.

UConn scouted her in July, and right after she and the coaching staff began following one another on social media. Pretty safe to assume there has been contact.

 

[eebmg]

nuts...it's a shame that Holly Warlick is out of the coaching game for the moment....

I think she may have joined the TN Football coaching staff.

Sorry, Couldn't resist.

I meant before the ESPN article came out in early June.

She's what? 16? Wanting to beat UConn shows competitive fire.
