    Geno's opinion on "one and done" in women's college hoops

    https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39969121/geno-auriemma-says-one-done-rule-ruin-women-college-basketball He doesn't like it....hope it does not happen. The emergence of NIL money might help keep 'one and done' out....according to Geno.

    Another blow to Big East: Olsen in transfer portal

    I thought she might go to Iowa State...she does move the Iowa needle up a bit...my guess is that she would have moved the ISU needle up to better their chances of a final four....with the talented group of frosh the Cyclones have....notably Crooks. Olsen is legit.

    April UConn recruiting thread

    Great to see Lara visiting UConn. She is on the same team as our 2025 verbal Kelis Fisher down in Florida...my impression is that it is a prep school with serious basketball intentions. A double-dip of Kelis and Lara might be really nice. BTW: Recently I think I saw that 2025 verbal Gandy...

    WNBA Draft (merged)

    Getting that invitation is VERY encouraging concerning her draft status. Don't think they give these things out like candy....wouldn't mind seeing her parents there plus Geno/CD etc.

    Bilas: "I think there's a very good chance Donovan Clingan comes back."

    "Hurley won't let him come back..." So...if DC makes the decision to stay in college....for whatever reasons that make sense for him... Hurley won't offer him a scholarship for next year? Really? So...DC then has to transfer to another college? Might get a couple of hundred offers. That...

    Bilas: "I think there's a very good chance Donovan Clingan comes back."

    Whoever is pushing him this way or that... family/coach/friends etc I hope we/they agree that it is HIS life and his decision...he may have factors personally that will determine what he does. Whatever he decides wish him well.

    Another blow to Big East: Olsen in transfer portal

    Paige would probably be gone in Olsen's second year. Then again as of now Paige has 2 years of athletic eligibility left. COVID year....frosh year...does not count...medical redshirt with injury last season. Would she have to get a special OK from the NCAA for that injury season...does the...

    Another blow to Big East: Olsen in transfer portal

    LwrcasefaN: I thought it was clear that going to ISU would mean that team [with Olsen] would have a decent shot at the final 4 due in part to the frosh who were very good this year...Crooks the best of them. Did not know Olsen has 2 more years of eligibility...makes her more appealing than...

    Another blow to Big East: Olsen in transfer portal

    I do find Iowa interesting...except that there will be tons of inevitable comparisons with Clark. Iowa State is more probable...they have several very talented frosh...including Crooks. Final four with Olsen? Very good chance...imo.

    Incredible UConn basketball stats! Congrats to the UConn men!

    My very...VERY...bad. The giddiness of the men's game fogged my brain. 17-1? Heck...I'll still say 'never ever' regarding some school matching that.

    Incredible UConn basketball stats! Congrats to the UConn men!

    17-0 in the NCAA Championship game! Women 11-0 Men 6-0. Never say 'never' but then again...no college will ever match that.

    Amari in Transfer Portal

    Best of luck to Amari...hope she has lots of offers to choose from...sure seems like an absolutely wonderful person. Does this not leave Geno with a schollie to offer....even after the Sarah Strong addition? A portal pick-up? An international player? No move at all?

    Dawn Staley AP Coach of the Year

    https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39874407/dawn-staley-named-ap-coach-year-2nd AP Coach of the Year...Dawn Staley Quite a few deserving coaches....including our own. Losing all 5 starters from last year and going undefeated [So Far!] is worthy of that honor.

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    Possibility? Clara Strack...this season at Virginia Tech...just a frosh...entering portal...3 years of eligibility left. 6'5"...I hear good things....as in 'starter from day one'. From New York State...hope we show appropriate interest.

    Schools with men’s and women’s teams in the Big Dance (merged thread)

    'Together' in the sense that those three schools are the only ones left with both men and women still alive. Of course....'Guess Who' is UConn. Will any of those 3 still have both teams standing after Monday?

    OSU edges ND

    OSU was simply dreadful handling the ball...guards and bigs....but when they got a shot they shot well. Hidalgo missed about 4 minutes with the nose ring...maybe a couple more during the game. Had an overall poor game.

    March recruiting thread 2

    Gandy seems to have benefited from her first year in the USA. She is a 2025 student so my bet is she will keep developing her game next year and have a realistic chance to be in the regular rotation come November 2025 here at UConn. Hope we get some Horde members and/or Boneyarders to watch her...

    UConn vs Louisville

    So we have an opening for an OOC game...how about the start of home/home with Iowa State...they are very very young with an interesting frosh center...Crooks. Think they have a 7 seed this year...might be trouble for opponents the first weekend. Believe Crooks was Big 12 FOY...a difficult...
