October UConn Recruiting Thread

[Sluconn Husky]

Now we know why Azzi visited the weekend before First Night.

How many known visits has Azzi made to UConn? I think it's 5 or 6.

Two games in Hartford (ND, South Carolina), unofficial visit last year with Bueckers the same time Jones and Boston were there, unofficial visit two years ago with Bueckers when both received their offers.

So yes, a minimum of five times.

You know better than I, but at least 3 or 4. 5 or 6 is quite possible.

Edwards to Lattimore:

Nice ball handle for a 6'5 player.

Edwards to Lattimore:

Did you catch the travel violation when Edwards caught the ball? But at least she had her head up.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Edwards had 19 points in the game archived above.

More 6'3-ish, but she does indeed handle the ball well.

Payton Verhulst ('21) appears to be making the rounds on her unofficial visits. She was in Missouri recently and will be in Tennessee soon. Wonder if Storrs is in the plans.

If there was ever a "stereotypical" UConn player it is Payton Verhulst. I hope she at leasts visits unofficially.
Surprising that she is doing this now. She is a big time volleyball player.

Hmm. Days after being at UConn and she really hasn't spent a lot of time anywhere else so I like our chances. That would complete a whole floor group in the class 1-5 positions covered.

She is only 6'3, does that qualify as a "big"? Sorry, don't know what to do with this potential news. Sarcasm and lame humor has worked in the past.

Whatever Aaliyah’s final decision, in all likelihood she made it immediately after her visit to UConn, after spending time with 4 other HS seniors who had already committed to UConn. I long ago stopped trying to figure out how teenagers think. I’ll have my fingers crossed on this one until shortly after 4 pm tomorrow.

Blue Star just re-classified their 2020 rankings and moved Mir Mclean up from 40th to #33.

She had previously made jumps at ESPN to #21 and Prospects Nation to #11. She comes in at #17 at ASGR.

They also revamped their 2021 rankings. The top-8 are all on UConn's radar: Fudd, Miles, Moore, DeBerry, Verhulst, Rivers, Ducharme, Kampschroeder

Poffenbarger is 10th.

Iriafen (12), Citron (14), Hollingshead (17), Johnson (18), Wolfenbarger (21), McPhersen (24), Von Oelhoffen (25), Key (33), Adams (38), and Darius (48) round out the top 50.

Give them Fudd, Iriafen, Rivers, and Poffenbarger and they should be OK.

You know, if you just wanted to give em Kuier I'd settle for that.

Forgot about her. She and Iriafen would really lock down the paint for them.

Yeah, well, we said that about Boston who visited UConn far more than anywhere else. I'll reserve judgement until.
