Has her name been mentioned on this board? Was she a known POI?

 

[Huskie02]

She is a four star recruit listed at #35. I’m surprised UConn would recruit a player at that ranking unless they see something no one else does.

 

[Bone Dog]

She’s ranked 35, but also as a prospect whose ranking maybe too low. She’s a quick wing with good midrange scoring ability, and good defensive skills.

No. I noticed a while back that UConn coaches were following her on social media but thought it was late interest that would not be reciprocated. She has been recruited heavily by Tennessee, Maryland and Louisville to name a few.

Its a really good sign. The easy choice for her would have been Maryland. She made the hard choice, which says to me she’s looking for a challenge.

Recent stock riser in the class putting it together. Worth the investment because the reward is bigger than the risk.

Sue Bird was ranked #19 by Blue Star and #21 by Scout coming out of high school.

Well, Vols,Terps and Cardinals saw something also. So there’s that.

Also not everyone can be a 4-year starter. Even UConn needs players who are content to come off the bench but can still contribute in multiple ways. Good pickup, I say.

So UConn will have a "Lou" on next seasons team and a "Samuels(on)" on the following years team.
Keeps me interested.

As for rankings, you can shove them all where the sun dont............ Only rankings that mean anything are what Geno and staff think and see.

Just thinking about this class. Ashlynn, KK, and Qadence will get a year with Paige and Nika , and two years with Azzi and Caroline. It’s hard to imagine a better UConn tutelage! The future looks bright.

McNamara is a big-time program. Recent grads are stars at NC State, Texas, and Ole Miss.

Welcome, Quadence!

 

[UConnFanMSM]

Welcome, Qadence! Cannot wait to see you playing in Storrs!

 

[Zarathustra]

Nice! Go Huskies!

And she seems to be channeling the DiDi look. Defense must be in her bag.

I was thinking the same thing. Let her become the same sort of defensive stopper!
