    2024 Recruiting Thread

    Tell us what the budget constraints have prevented Auriemma from doing? He's at the same AAU events as other coaches. He has traveled overseas to successfully recruit foreign players. One of his assistants traveled to Greece last week to watch the European U18 championships. He and his staff...

    2024 Recruiting Thread

    Right, because after years and years and years of out-recruiting Tennessee the UConn staff decided they needed to pay closer attention to which players Tennessee was recruiting? Why? Dumbest take ever. Ever. It's more likely Tennessee has been following UConn's stellar recruiting. Of all...

    That recruiting insider is a bit of a mixed bag. First Stanford and Duke for Rice, then Duke was in the lead, reported UConn was still in the running and then radio silence. UCLA never once mentioned for Rice. All over the place on Barker (SC the leader a month ago) so not a whole lot of...

    2022 Recruits

    You posted the kid in a UConn jersey and asked what turned her to the LVs. I answered based on what I know. If you want to believe she chose the LVs over UConn then go for it. Pissot is a good player but championships are won with elite recruits.

    UConn checked her out early on but never showed serious interest. They're aiming higher. Nice player.

    LOL. Whatever pal. No reason to come off high and mighty here. Your team's last championship was 3 years ago and the last NCAA tournament SC played in they didn't make it past the Sweet 16. But hey, hang that AP #1 banner!

    SC hasn't won since 2017. At least Conn has made the Final Four each year there's been a tournament since its last championship. SC hasn't made a Final Four since its last championship.

    Did you watch her in college? She did all those things at UConn. All of them. It's not like her game changed in a matter of a few months. She deferred to other players at UConn but she made all those shots while there. Find the link to highlights from UCLA game in 2019 at youtube and watch...

    In what way? Shooting-wise she looks the same though more of her shots in college were 3s and she made a higher % of her 3s in college. Her passing was better in college mostly because her size is more limiting as a pro. A lot of passes she made in college are turnovers in the WNBA. She...

    New ESPN rankings for 2021

    An additional thought on the UA/Fudd situation involves the NCAA's NIL rules and what they look like. One issue that has been discussed is the possibility of a student-athlete endorsing one product line while playing for a school sponsored by a different product line. In other words, could...

    This is an Under Armour press release. Ask yourself whether this has ever happened with an apparel company and a high school girls basketball player. Under Armour Celebrates St. John's College High School's Girls Basketball

    New ESPN rankings for 2021

    UA has made several bad business decisions and then Covid happened. UA dumped its crazy ($280 million!) apparel deal with UCLA and now UCLA is suing for damages. There's an SEC investigation of past accounting practices as well. Yet, UA is still hanging on.

    New ESPN rankings for 2021

    Stuff like this has been going on in men's basketball for years. It was only a matter of time before it spilled over to women's basketball. The UA connection with the Fudds and what it might mean is not a secret. It's been out there for a while. 'A Steph Curry for girls' - How Azzi Fudd...

    New ESPN rankings for 2021

    LOL. Oh come on. If Azzi chooses Maryland because it's an UA school it won't be because UA did a good job of "cozying up to" the Fudds. UA doesn't mess around. UA is promising to make Azzi the Steph Curry of women's basketball. Who knows what UA's financial situation will be down the road...
