still sounds crazy saying UCLA winning the Bog 10 title like Uconn winning the Mountain West although I'd like to see Uconn in the SECGreat pick up. Should be early favorites for big ten titles.

I didn't know Osborne withdrew her petition. UCLA will play Stanford two times this coming year. Those games should be very interesting to watch. UCLA and USC will leave the PAC-12 after next year for the BIG 10, so this coming year is the only time the Bruins and Cardinal will meet while Betts is at UCLA.Don’t forget, she also has her top player Charisma Osborne coming back as she withdrew from the draft in order to play one more year. We’ll see, but certainly there’s no shortage of talent on that roster.
I'd like to see them in the ACC. Do you think we'll ever see the day that UConn gets invited to join a P5 conference?still sounds crazy saying UCLA winning the Bog 10 title like Uconn winning the Mountain West although I'd like to see Uconn in the SEC

I just wonder how she will jell with Reese who is the big dog on that team. She could try and fill Morris's spot on that team but I don't think she is as good as Morris especially on defense.Play for one of the best coaches in the game fresh off a national championship, and I believe they are one of the best places to go for NIL claiming perhaps the highest paid student-athlete. Not a bad landing spot for her.
The talent is there, that is for sure. Now they just need to put it all together in one nice package. Watching some of their games last year, you could see the potential to becoming a pretty solid team. I hope this addition of Betts, along with Kiki Rice going into her second year, this is something to build on for UCLA women's basketball.Don’t forget, she also has her top player Charisma Osborne coming back as she withdrew from the draft in order to play one more year.

I think you are overrate Close as a coach here. Maybe that happens but there is a still quite a bit of player development and offensive and defensive schemes that need to happen for that to come to fruition imo.So UCLA wins the PAC 12 next season and then the BIG 10 next August. Then takes out everyone in that Conference for the following 2 years. Don't see them winning it all for at least the next couple of years, UConn is it until Azzi leaves.
It’s a good bet that Lauren will be much happier at UCLA, and will be their starting center on day one. Most players that transfer usually make a better decision the second time they assess potential schools to attend.The talent is there, that is for sure.

I never thought Bett's would be a great fit for us offensively. Yes she'd let Aaliyah play the four but she'd clog the paint up too much doing it, not give Aaliyah or anyone else the open paint to drive like Dorka did being a perimeter threat. I've watched a lot of basketball this year maintain at Amari has the potential to give us the higher ceiling. The only other center with the right skill set to elevate us offensively IMO is Brink but that was never an option on the table.A good get for UCLA. I'm a little disappointed as I thought that she would be a good fit at UConn, and thereby allow Aaliyah to move to her more natural power forward spot, where she will most likely be in the pros. Ms. Deberry, the ball, literally, is in your court, now. You've shown glimpses, however limited, as to the talent that you possess. It's up to you to put it all together, and force a certain head coach to play you.
Agree with this. That or Iowa. Both those programs I think would do more in the way of utilizing Betts than I think UCLA will so not sad she's out west.Just happy Betts didn't land at Notre Dame! That was a distinct possibility and perhaps the biggest piece of the puzzle that they're missing.
Can't have enough of these I guess:
So you wanted Geno to recruit over the players already here?Not a great couple days for UConn hoops, Men's or Women's. Really wanted Betts.
Coaches all do that every year. It’s how they keep their jobs.So you wanted Geno to recruit over the players already here?

I doubt UConn was ever being seriously considered.
Agree, 100%. I watched UCLA a lot last year and their games were sloppy and ugly. It boggles my mind when coaches, year in, and year out, never have any shooters on their roster.One of the problems for Betts in playing for UCLA is they really don't have good outside shooting and Teams will play the South Carolina defense Pack it in and Let them shoot from the outside. She will be double and triple teamed. Close needs to find some 3 point shooters. Osborne and Rice are not the answer.
I think we’re better off not adding anyone. Geno already has the talent to make another run. Amari Jana Ayanna and Ice have all the motivation they need to become awesome in the backcourt they’ll be playing with.Not a great couple days for UConn hoops, Men's or Women's. Really wanted Betts.
