For me it seems the wait is due to several reasons. One Im sure shes being influenced by people around her. I have no knowledge however Ive got to think that people surrounding her want her to play starter minutes. Not necessarily guarantees but perhaps assurances. After all she is number 1 in her class and should be a game changer. I also am thinking there has to be a position open for her on the roster and with seniors with covid year eligibility well that could play a part in it also. UConn needs a Sara to go along with all their guards. I would think UConn is her best option.

Staley/SC are going to have the advantage in any recruitment these days. When they sign her they will be a wagon.

Other schools offer what many recruits see as advantages to them personally. But your points are good ones. I would add three important factors: 1. They get huge crowds. 2. They offer a guaranteed base NIL of $25k/player. That's just in pocket. Everyone can make whatever deals or garner whatever NIL collective support they can in addition. But everyone graduates with a guaranteed $100k just to start with. 3. What Dawn said during the game: she trains players to be pros. Meaning, they play a more physical, though still very disciplined game.

Getting back to the recruiting thing, if they come to to UCONN, great. If they don't, their loss, and I airbrush them right out of the picture. Who? Never heard of em'.

My niece went to Etiwanda High last night and watched Kaleena Smith put up 34 in a loss to Etiwanda. My niece said Special K is all that and more. Kids were lined up after the game to get a pic and/or autograph of this special/generational freshmen. UConn needs a hard press for her!! She is that one!

I say home visits as soon as legal and possible. She is a game changer and will only get better.

Found this. Edwards and Strong will be teammates on the East squad in the 2024 McDonald’s All-American game on April 2 in Houston. There has been some speculation Strong could make her decision during the game that will be televised on ESPN.

I think Morgan has been a bit injured recently, but apparently nothing serious. She should be okay (we hope!) by April.

Do we really want a player with a "history" of injury coming in? (Yes, it is said with jest and just a touch of sarcasm. Relax, everyone!)

There has been some speculation Strong could make her decision during the game that will be televised on ESPN. I think most of the girls hang out together most of the time at these All Star games. They basically just separate for the game. Sooo, Strong will be able to hang around with Cheli and Ziebell if she wants.
