Shocking to Rukia, I really like Fournier. UConn does well with Canadians and they do well with UConn.
Strong would be an amazing addition.
Kate Koval is my third.

If we could just get a commit soon, I won't despair when Betts announces. My brain tells me we don't want her, but the press will be all over this if she announces for Iowa or UCLA.

Future recruits I really want, Jenica Lewis and Jerzy Robinson! Can’t miss recruits IMO. Google or YouTube them if you don’t know.

Justice Carlton will announce her top 5 today. I am hoping UConn will make the cut. But it has been quiet recruiting wise and I don’t know of any visits. So, I actually would be surprised if UConn makes the cut. But I do maintain a curiosity and will check it out when she makes that announcement.

Thinking that with Cheli committed, we're not dying for another 6'2" player, though Carlton can be other-worldly. But UConn likely is spending its energy on one of the bigs, esp. Koval.

Other than height, I don’t think they are that comparable. Cheli is a guard and Carlton is more of an interior player.
It is possible that UConn have prioritized other targets though.
Tac, Strong, and Koval are all still on the board.

I had thought that she was off the board, but now I remember that she was just left off the U-19 team.

We did end up making Justice Carlton’s final five.
Instagram is not linking very well, but I will post something better when Twitter is up.
Arizona, Texas, UConn, LSU, South Carolina. Final five.

Arizona is clipped above. Glad I checked before picking LSU as her obvious choice.

Thanks for providing this link: both my sisters went to Sacred Heart, and I had no idea that they'd become a basketball power. Of course, it was almost 50 years ago, so...

Juste Joycte. I've watched entire games of her too. In the ones I've seen she's a kid playing against grown women twice her age, but you wouldn't know it. I have yet to see anything concerning her status. Is she a 24 or 25 recruit? No idea. She plays for a pro team but I don't believe she has turned pro herself? One interesting note, she holds dual American- Lithuanian citizenship (born in D.C.) so she would be eligible for NIL bennies. I sent a note to Daniel Connolly at UCONN WBB Weekly asking him about her but haven't heard anything.

Blanca Thomas is announcing this week. #10 class of 2024. 6'5" post. I am kind of surprised she does not seem like a serious target for UConn. She announced i think a top 8 previously... and UConn was not in it.

She announced i think a top 8 previously... and UConn was not in it. Thanks for this, rukia. Maybe UConn knew they weren't in the running, or maybe they didn't rate her as highly as others did and have their eye on a better big? Offers and her top 8 are here: wbbblog.com/blanca-thomas/

Qadence committed in June of last year. So, maybe... just maybe... that is the month we land another.
I do think comparatively, this class is taking longer to make commitment decisions than the 2022/2023 class.
I think only 17 out of the ESPN top 60 have made their decisions. UCLA, UConn, Michigan, Iowa with multiple top 60 commitments.

Interesting. I always thought El Alfy was the Toomey replacement.
