Wow... it is something to really think about next year.... We lose Chong and Lawlor.... Very sad... but they will not have a huge impact on the core team that we currently have. We will gain not 4 but 6 new players. Two with experience and four brandie newbies... WOW!BY-ers,
I've changed up the colors of the chart to start reusing some colors (my mouse will not allow a certain color to be selected), and also fixed the class year chart as I posted so quickly last time. Enjoy!
I love the name, Lexi. Lexi Gordon. Just sounds like she would be a good player.This girl LEXI is a Star already wait until she get to Uconn to add on that super!!
what is Falker next to MegWalker's name?
Crazy, isn't it???? That level of talent with this coaching staff! Geno is creating a legacy for the ages!Wow... it is something to really think about next year.... We lose Chong and Lawlor....

I just read on another forum where someone wrote Williams and Nelson-ododa are better then Megan Walker. WTHeck? Come on man!
Thanks, BRS, for providing this excellent reference table. We have and will be having so many excellent players that it could get very confusing. All roads lead to Storrs, and the road to the NC is HiWay 195!
Andi seems to be more highly regarded as time goes by. Somebody had her ranked 10th, right?
Damn! We have high standards!ASGR had her at #15
They also had Coombs at #4
and Gordon at #11. Not to mention Walker at #2?
It all makes for a reasonably good class. When added to how I think the 2018 class will turn out, there will be a lot of the "UConn is bad for the game" refrain emanating from wcbb circles once again.
She made the U16 team so that was sort of a top 12 ranking and performed OK - she started all the games and led the team in minutes so she must have been doing something right, but her shooting percentages weren't very good - she was one of the ten dropped from the team for the U17 which didn't seem to perform any better. Her ratings have fluctuated quite a bit year to year and service to service so maybe her game is an 'eye of the beholder' sort of think - like Kelly Faris for example.Andi seems to be more highly regarded as time goes by.

I agree with everything except ... Uconn has an ability to get the right top talent. When you look at the true greats coming out of HS Uconn has gotten more than it's fair share, and unlike the men's game they get to keep them for four years. In the time that Baylor and TN got their one player (Griner and Parker) Uconn got three Moore, Stewart and EDD who they lost immediately. No other team has gotten one. (Maybe Stanford with Nneka?) And they surround those players with other #1 rated players or equivalents in Tina, KML, Moriah (technical #2 but behind Breanna so sort of a standard quality #1) and Lou, and filled in the blanks with high quality complementary players Rene, Morgan, Napheesa, Gabby, etc.People just want to complain. Yes, Uconn gets good players, but if you really go thru the details schools like ND, SC, etc..have had a bunch of top recruiting classes just as much as UConn the last 8 years or so. UConn is getting the most of the talent more than other schools and the kids are progressing more as players year to year. Not all kid are UConn kids b/c to get the max out of your talent you have to put up with Geno. Many kids can't take his style, they want to be coddled, which may lead to them not reaching their full potential. You may not like Geno when he's on your case all the time, but you will be a better player and winning helps.
