... The recruits seemed to be enjoying interacting with a beautiful baby that was in the crowd near them (that I assume was Shea Ralph's).
Nice recruiting tool.

Great idea. Would also look seriously at a transfer, perhaps an experienced upcoming senior or 5th year. While would prefer a 4 year recruit, someone who would value the UConn experience and could run the show as the 1st guard off the bench plus play defense could be ideal.Any reason why we're not in on Zia Cooke? I know we're in on Paige and Hailey Van for 2020, but just think we need somebody to backup/shadow Crystal next year. I know I've heard Cooke say UConn hasn't made a offer yet so she still has work to do. Seems like she'd be open to UConn. Any thoughts or info is appreciated, thanks.
They celebrated every made shot just to hide their real feelings.I just remembered, we have no comparative video from their other visits.....oh well......anybody know anything about numerology?.....

In theory yes, practically no. With the exception of Sabrina Ionescu I don't see a guard on the NCAA landscape that would be a 5th year senior and come in and make an immediate impact on the UCONN team next year even in a backup capacity. The bar was pretty low this year (probably the lowest it has ever been at UCONN). That guard transferring in would only have to beat out Mikayla Coombs and Molly for back guard minutes. There were some good candidates too, Natalie Chou, Danni Williams and Sierra Calhoun could all have worked. Next year the bar will be much higher already with just the signing of Aubrey Griffin.Great idea. Would also look seriously at a transfer, perhaps an experienced upcoming senior or 5th year.

Any idea on when Jones plans to announce?
Aunt Haley, Aunt Aliyah, Aunt Paige, and Aunt Azzi!... The recruits seemed to be enjoying interacting with a beautiful baby that was in the crowd near them (that I assume was Shea Ralph's).
Aunt Haley, Aunt Aliyah, Aunt Paige, and Aunt Azzi!
More appealing but probably not enough.OAN i wonder how much more appealing does Minnesota looks to Beuckers with Whay running the show now ?
Just want to say I saw Bostons dad on my way to restroom at half time, big dude!! But was decked out in UCONN gear (hat, shirt)! Let's cross our fingers!! Sucks we're in the AAC conference, makes Geno have to work twice as hard to get the top recruits. But he IS the man, and you'd have to be stupid not to want to play for the best coach of all time!!if I'm not mistaken, that bored look is par for the course with those girls........personally I would have preferred the four of them dancing at center court with Jonathan the Husky at halftime but what are you going to do.....

As a virgin islander and UConn fan I would be disappointed if she goes some other place.Just want to say I saw Bostons dad on my way to restroom at half time, big dude!!

I was supposed to move to St Thomas in high school, Tropaco Point. But hurricane Hugo changed our plans.As a virgin islander and UConn fan I would be disappointed if she goes some other place.

It should be pointed out that when Aliyah visited South Bend with her parents, while she did consent to have her photo taken in an ND uniform, in the picture posted on her Twitter account with her parents, Mom was wearing a USA basketball t-shirt and Dad a Boston Red Sox hat. No ND gear for Mom & Dad....just sayin..,.Just want to say I saw Bostons dad on my way to restroom at half time, big dude!! But was decked out in UCONN gear (hat, shirt)! Let's cross our fingers!!

Not gonna happen. All little girls want to make Daddy proud.LOL so if she does not choose UCONN this will mean ?
If Jones doesn’t have a visit date set for her last official maybe “Baby Uconn” will make her college choice soon.

Even though listed at guard, similar to DeCosta now at Baylor, Jones is probably more of a 4 and I think she has a good chance of being a impact player at the high post next year for Uconn, moving Walker more of the wing.Absolutely. She will play 3 until Megan graduates. Play 2 after Christyn graduates and possibly 4 as a senior. She has that type of versatility.
Class of 2019 recruits Haley Jones (6-foot-1 guard/forward, Santa Cruz, California) and Aliyah Boston (6-4 center/forward, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands/Worcester Academy) were at Sunday’s exhibition game as part of their official visit. Jones is rated the No. 1 recruit among seniors with Boston at No. 3.
They were joined at Gampel Pavilion by two teammates from last summer’s gold-medal winning United States U-17 national team on unofficial visits: junior guard Paige Bueckers and sophomore guard Azzi Fudd.
Bueckers (5-11 guard, Eden Prairie, Minnesota) is the top-ranked recruit in the Class of 2020 while Fudd (5-11 guard, Falls Church, Virginia) holds the top spot in the Class of 2021. A source said it was their decision to join their U-17 teammates here.
