Recent UConn target Paulina Paris commits to Penn State.

There are several others of course that I think are not that relevant anymore in the class of 2022, but I think the real wish list boils down to Rice or Bradford, but not both. After their decisions, call it a day. It is a terrific class without either one, and if they can snare one of those it is the cherry on top!

Dorka Juhasz, the 6-4 Ohio State transfer, started following UConnWBB on Instagram and Twitter. Will be interesting to see if the interest is mutual.

What the hell, might as well fill up that last seat on the bus or plane for those away games. @CocoHusky, Is she any good?

She maybe good enough stretch 4 type with 2 years of eligibility remaining.

A 6-4 scrapper with no hesitation to bang the 3. And nice post movement. I likey. But I would suspect some roster turmoil but that wouldn't be my problem.

 

[JellyBean]

That would be a nice addition if we could land Juhasz. But we will see what happens.

 

[CocoHusky]

Do we think her interest is signaling a possible transfer from our program? Our roster seems very full with the additional freshman coming in. Not going to complain with any additional talent we may get though through the transfer portal though. ?

It against the rules to speculate about UCONN WBB transfers.
Our roster is not full because: 1) Autumn is not a scholarship player 2) Under the COVID rules the NCAA allows teams to expand the roster size to accommodate returning seniors-Evina in this case.
Do I think UCONN is going to have a roster with 16 players? No. I do not.

Is Dorka a female Dork?

We could have used her against AZ

Is there room at the inn?

Is there room at the inn?

Gunatitatively? Very little at the moment. Qualitatively and skill set wise? Plenty.

On second thought, after looking at her season stat I am not sure I want another big who thinks she can shoot the 3 but only at 20% clip and can't hit FT either (42.9%). That's not going to help.

Check last year - she started 31 games and hit close to 40% (40-101) from 3 - leading scorer and rebounder. She only started/played 17 games this year and they self disciplined by not playing any postseason.

She has also played against UCONN twice , she shot it poorly (4 of 14) but snagged 11 rebounds in one game.

No speculation here, but thought it was interesting that Makurat followed two Oregon assistants on Instagram. They were her other finalist before UConn.

If that's impermissible please delete^, just thought it was interesting.

 

[connboy77]

If there are no transfers and Westbrook coming back, and the possibility of signing a guard in the 2022 class, if my math is correct UCONN doesn't have any room to sign anyone else!

Well Oregon is on UCONN's schedule next year so Anna is probably just looking ahead.

I like her ability to shoot the outside shot and she has quickness and quick release on her layups. Don’t know how she bangs with strong bugs but she has a nice skill set for sure. Can’t have enough skilled bugs in my mind especially if it forces other inside players to come out to guard. Makes life much easier for AE and guards driving to score or dish.
