No. Being in top 60 is not mandatory to be recruited by UCONN. Given the stature this program has achieved it is highly unlikely that a player ranked outside the top 60 can effectively make an impact at UCONN. On the current roster Piath was ranked outside the top 60. Geno also doesn't rely on the rankings that are publicly available to you and me to make his decision. He has a network of people/evaluators which he relies . Most importantly he trust his own eye and that of the staff. For example Cierra Toomey was referred to Geno by a former player and Stewie was first referrer to staff by @Tonyc. Geno puts in the work and travel to see the player he is interested in before making offers. If you know of a player that you think is UCONN capable the UCONN staff directory is publicly available with phone numbers for you to leave a message for the staff.Being ranked top 60 is mandatory for recruitment by UCONN???? Genuinely asking? Some coaches say they don't believe In Rankings guess Geno is not one
So Olivia Olson has similar traits to 'Olive Oyl"I was able to watch extended videos on 2024 Olivia Olson, WOW! did I say I was impressed, well I was. If I didn't know better .... It was like when I first started watching vid's of Paige. What I saw- super quick, spot on passing, long arms active on offence and defense, accurate shooter-at the rim-pull up-and deep for me the best part she plays at least a half if not a full step faster than anyone else on the floor. A sure POI in my mind anyone else please let me \us know what you think about her. If I have missed previous posts on her, my apologies.

Check her out, I found videos on utube, let me know what you think. No kidding this young lady has Oyl like game.So Olivia Olson has similar traits to 'Olive Oyl"
Good point. Very observantI would say right at the top. When posting her offers on social media, all the schools were represented by a logo. Except UConn. They were represented by a picture of her in a UConn jersey.

That was Paige's high school coach's nickname for her.
So Olson plays like PB also? Good Lord! Will anyone ever just be a basketball player? The skills for a good player are all the same. Are we gonna compare every blonde girl to Paige? That’s so unimaginative and unoriginal and too easy.That was Paige's high school coach's nickname for her.
What's the problem with a comparison of players? It happens all the time on the BY, it's one of the things that happens to most POI's, it gives others a point of reference. Have you watched Ms Olson play, if so whom would you compare her to? Blond hair, blue hair, pink hair it doesn't matter, IMO her game and highlight videos resemble those posted of Paige when she was at the same age. Sorry if blond slim ballplayer comparisons upsets you, I expect there will be more to follow from other posters. Lastly, do you really think that the skills for a good player are all the same, as you have written?So Olson plays like PB also? Good Lord! Will anyone ever just be a basketball player?

Yes. Depending on position played. It doesn’t upset me, it’s just too easy and typical when there is a new flavor of the month. I don’t think she resembles Paige as a player or person. I think she is a typical good basketball player who will continue to develop her game. Each player brings their own swag, flava, handles etc etc to the game.What's the problem with a comparison of players?

Insert UCONN instead of Tn. and Geno for Harper and we have a much better post. Wish we could put in on the Vol Nation site.
I respect your opinion while I disagree, you either see it or you don't. Either way I will follow her play and see how she progresses.Yes. Depending on position played.

Volnation is already planning a parade. You know they get very excited if any players even eats an orange. Then they huddle, say Pats name and wait. After blaming Geno for everything of course.UConn
Shade has not visited UConn yet, but hopes to get on campus this fall.
"I like the history behind the school and how competitive their basketball program was and currently still is. I want to play at a high level, so I like that aspect of it."
She talks about her relationships with the coaching staffs for every school but UConn and Stanford. Shea was the lead recruiter for her while Shea was still on the UConn staff so the rest of the staff will now have to establish that relationship. The visit will help.
I hear Tennessee is nice. I have a friend who recently moved there from SoCal.I love parades. We are in the process of moving to Tn. about 45 minutes away from Rocky Top. It should get interesting when I hang my Husky banner. Hope I don't have to ever hang it upside down.
