A'ja to Announce College Decision on April 16th (merged)

[cferraro04]

How many here actually believe that Geno and his staff don't already know if A'ja will choose UConn?

 

[rford53]

IMHO it would be best for WCBB for A'ja to go to South Carolina and create some possibility of another team challenging UConn. I also believe with our four great combo guards coming in next year and a healthy Morgan Tuck, UConn will easily run the table again bringing us to 85 in a row and #10.........................

I dunno about next year. The offense is going to be overhauled somewhat with the departure of our central cog. Plus there are other good teams and all it takes is one off night.

I am sure the coaching staff of each of her final choices have been told of her choice.

There were other good teams this season.

I don't believe they know. My guess is she will call all the coaches next week.

It only took one off night this year and it didn't happen.

Have some faith!!!

Why?

There is no way they could keep it a secret.

 

[Icebear]

DD, amazing how people we never see around here always seem to know.

 

[rjuconn]

My first foray into A'ja Land...but I'll only add that UConn will be fine whether she comes or not. Geno has shown he can win by going big and by going small.

But I will concede that a historic streak like they're on now does need both.

I think if she told other coaches, the news would leak out. I think each of the coaches have their own gut feeling. Possible Geno doesn't think it is this team or maybe in that moment he just said was on his mind rather than calculating a contrived statement that doesn't benefit him in any way.

 

[Icebear]

I still feel good about our chances. Better than ever after the last two nights.

I also am optimistic about the future {how can you not be with their track record} but unfortunately the injuries to Tuck and Williams kind of temper that optimism a little bit. Hopefully they will both come back stronger than before but you never know with knee injuries.

Didn't she come out and say that the success of each of her finalists in the NCAA tournament had no effect on her decision?

Something to that effect ,yes.However,she also stated she wanted to go to a school that would help her ready for the next level(can't remember her quote),and Connecticut is as good as anyone to get her there,if she wishes to continue basketball after college.I t is also an up and coming school acedemicly.

It wasn't the success in wins I was referencing but rather the demonstration of all aspects of what being a Husky is about, men and women.

Sorry to sound like Doggy, but what teams are you speaking of?
I can't think of another team with or without Aja that matches up.

How is that sounding like me? And why are you sorry about it?

Sheesh.

Apologies…it was a joke.

I am locking this thread because there is simply too much speculation about egos and A'ja as a person. Unless you know her well, you are NOT qualified to make any judgments about this young woman.
