Revising my ’23 wish list was much harder than I thought. Here is what I’ve come up with using all the names that
@Sluconn Husky has mentioned as UCONN POI.

Kitts is the Bomb! Best motor I’ve seen on both ends of the floor since a pair of former Huskies who attended the same high school (for a while) in Missouri of all places. Booker has a similar motor. With both of them in a UCONN line up UCONN opponents are going to be in for some very long nights from 2023 to 2027.
I’m fully aware that Breya Cunningham has been blowing up and has surpassed Del Rosario lately. I would love to see Cunningham at UCONN but there are five kids (Cunningham, Anderson, Griggs, Watkins and Briggs) all West Coast based and I just thing UCONN is going to have a hard time pulling any of the 5 east to Storrs. I would take ANY of the five or ALL five for UCONN.
Toomey is on the rise and I’m frankly puzzled by the lack of “major” offers so far. Toomey debut at number 14 on ESPN and IMO it is all there: Size, versatility (4/5/3/ or Stretch 4) mobility, back to the basket post moves, deep ball, shot blocking, passing, rebounding…. Toomey looks like she ready for high level NCAA competition already.
Stack, Groot, Allen, Clardy & Fulwiley I believe to be all SEC bound. three of the five call South Carolina home. Clardy is from Arkansas and Allen from TN. Mary Ashley, I don’t know what your parents were thinking moving you from the Basketball Capital of the universe to South Carolina but you are welcome to come back home anytime.
Geno likes traditional PG and that highly favors either Shade or Arnold in this recruiting class because both Paige and Nika will be seniors. I’m not yet convinced that Fiala and Brandewie are UCONN level talents and would need to see more recent film against higher level competition.
What’s the sense of putting together a wish list without a wild card and my wild card is Olivia McGhee a 6’3” PG.
@MilfordHusky she is from your neck of the woods. I have no idea if UCONN is interested in her but this Olivia can really really play- See my prior paragraphs on Booker and Kitts’ motor- McGhee’s motor is just as high if not higher.
