March Recruiting Thread

[Fossil]

Come on, we don’t have to go there! That’s unfair!

Not fair and something that can’t be taken back now. An apology would be necessary but it’s still out there.

 

[CocoHusky]

She said on her Instagram story No UCONN. Sorry.

@TeamFirst! ”You guys are all so certain about things until you are proven wrong.”
That’s true for most people. Are you as sure about Betts as you were about CW and the Wooden award? Maybe you should take your own advice. Just sayin.

She's also been to Notre Dame...twice.

She also was most recently at Stanford ... last weekend. Along with JuJu.

Darn! I mean "thanks"...or do I?

The “no transfer talk” rule applies in this thread as well as the rest of the board

Impressive! Thanks for posting, SH.

Aside from her competitive fire, sheer athleticism, & strong two-way play, I love Ashlynn Shade's seasoned midrange & post-up game. Given analytics influence on the game of basketball, midrange scoring seems like a lost art. Having a guard be able to operate from the mid or low-post back-to-basket is a huge weapon uncommon to the college game. And her jump shot elevation is spectacular!

I am also relishing the apparent stylistic yin-yang of our 2023 incoming backcourt. Ashlynn's intensity should be balanced nicely by KK Arnold's seemingly relaxed nature & controlled ease of play. KK Arnold never seems to get sped up nor rattled while letting the game come to her. They both seem to possess advanced BBIQ as well.

"midrange scoring seems like a lost art..." Seemed like UConn made some kind of adjustment as the game progressed to getting into the paint for stop and pop shots... AND they rarely missed those shots!

I went back to the gamecast info and verified that UConn did shift away from the 3 after the third quarter...

Olivia Olsen said in an interview that she's not making a decision until her junior year.
It's possible that attending a Catholic high school could influence her decision to go to a Catholic University.
We'll just need to wait for her announcement.

Notre Dame fans thought that with Clark too but it didn't turn out that way.....

Adjustment: "Some" Notre Dame fans thought that way. Let's not generalize

Also, when they moved away from the 3 in the 4th Qtr, UConn shooting percentage for the next 20 minutes went up to 65%. First 3 Qtrs it was 38%. And... 3 point shooting percentage went up too.

didn't you think so? I'm not an ND fan but I sure did.......

Recruits! Recruits! Commitments! This is a recruitment thread! Only post if C commits to UConn!

I don't want to deviate from the main thread, but do want to answer the question. I figured it was down to Iowa vs ND, but was never certain because:

• Niele had joined Memphis during crunch time of the recruiting period. Not sure the handover to Beth Cunningham was smooth.
• Iowa's Jan Jensen was the key person for the Hawkeyes and she was at Dowling Catholic about once a week, one of the advantages of being so close.
• Heard rumors that Clark was going back and forth with ND for months. Stayed that way throughout.

I was sure hoping, but was not shocked when the announcement came out. More chagrined than anything else

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH UCONN RECRUITS! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

 

[TeamFirst!]

Janiah has the tools to maybe be the best of her class. Didn't Georgia just hire the coach from UCF? I wouldn't want to play for her under any circumstances.
