I was wondering that too ... might help us keep them at A&M.
On the other hand, it might emphasize that UConn fans care more about WBB than the football-crazed around here.

Bad sign that we dont have a verbal commitment from either yet.
I suspect that Geno would discuss with his staff and the team today prior to making any offers.Bad sign that we dont have a verbal commitment from either yet.
agree with your "Seriously????" I think there should be a question mark or 2 instead of a statement. There is lots of time, and I suspect many i's to be dotted and t's to cross before either side of the process is sure what they want to do. Like a good wine it takes time to mature.Seriously????
I just assumed that a player wouldn’t announce until she graduates, that’s only a few more weeks.agree with your "Seriously????" I think there should be a question mark or 2 instead of a statement.

Oral commitments are not required and are not, in fact, recognized by any governing body. They're just talk. I could orally commit to UConn if I want.Bad sign that we dont have a verbal commitment from either yet.
That law has been changed, I believe a couple of years ago at their spring meetings. This past year a number of SEC grad transfers played immediately on various football teams. So I think they can in basketball also.The SEC's by-laws do not allow immediate eligibility for intra-conference graduate transfers. There is a waiver process, however, so Dawn could get another shot at a waiver and this time before a friendlier audience.

To some degree, it may depend on whether or not UConn actually offers either one or both of them scholarships, which I don’t necessarily believe is a given.After the whirlwind tour, I'll be really surprised if both of the A&M players don't stay down South...I for one am looking forward to seeing the sophs and freshmen getting to learn as they play....regardless of what happens next season they will far more prepared when KLS and Napheesa are no longer there to keep them afloat... .
This was known a while ago before the transfer bombshells. It’s to replace Lulu McKinney as a backup PG for Carter.Not sure what, if any relationship this news of A&M signing a JC guard has to the potential transfer of Howard and particularly guard Danni Williams.

Frankly I have to agree... although this is contrary to "normal" operations for UConn WBB. Geno and Staff know there are areas that could/should be helped; thus they entertained Howard and Williams for a visit. The departures of Z (unexpected) and AEH (??) add two unplanned "holes" on the roster and opened scholarships for next season. We're not going to get any additional Top HS players for next season,... and I haven't heard about any JUCO transfers seeking out UConn or that UConn is considering. If a short gap "hired guns," as some call these two potential transfers, can help ... then why not take a shot. If we were certain that last year's bench could fill the holes left by the departures of Gabby, Kia and Z... then no need to have Howard and Williams make the trip. BUT, by all BYer's accounts and by minutes played last year, there doesn't seem to be any remedies on the current roster, except MW, potentially BC and Coombs, with KI and MB for spot relief. IMHO if Howard and/or Williams come to UConn, the Huskies get 2 players with proven WCBB level experience...they take crash course on UConn's offense/defense/philosophies and the chances for a long run toward the NC increase significantly.You have to adapt or get left behind. It would be fantastic to get one, even better if they got both. There is room for both, and that, along with the two freshmen, and an improved Megan Walker, would put UConn back in contention for a National Title. There's no question Notre Dame will be favored to win. Maybe that's what UConn needs, not to be the favorite.

You can bring in 100 Wiliams, and not a one can replace Gabby.One Williams graduates, and two more Williams come to take her place?
