Any idea how many offers UConn has out there floating around?

What's our ebb and flow for next year?
We've got Morgan and Allie flowing in and Aaliyah, Nika, Aubrey, and (I'm quite confident) Paige ebbing out. That's down 2. We started with 14. That means we can take up to 3 more next year.
We have Kelis flowing in in 2025 while we lose Caroline, Azzi, and Amari, so, no matter whatever else happens with the class of 2024, there's room for the class of 2025.
As they say in the college admissions biz, what's the expected yield? By this point UConn should have a pretty good idea of their anticipated yield, and likely leave some fudge room so they don't go over 15.
Theoretically, for targeting up to all 3 more spots, I'm thinking 5-8 offers. For targeting 2 more spots, 3-5 offers.
I dunno. Does that sound plausible?
November is announcement time and it's not really far away. Geno probably knows for certain about some of those offers, whether they will be accepted or rejected.

I think Aaliyah almost definitely declares for the draft. The others I'm not so sure. They all have the covid year option I think.

She made a big deal about announcing that she was coming back. It’s hard to imagine that she won’t go, unless it adds up that she’d have a monster role in 24/25. |

Instagram activity makes me think we have a really good chance at Jazzy Davidson in 2025.
Justice Carlton. We made her final five for 2024.
Imari Berry and Sarah Strong in 2024. And ZaKiyah Johnson in 2025. Those appear to be other targets.
I don’t know of others. People have a tendency to make conclusions off of Morgan valley’s social media activity.
Edit: Olivia vukosa in 2026 has already taken multiple visits. Clearly we want her.

Each has stated that they only offer if they have room for all of them to say yes. Might that have to change with the times??? Maybe, but I hope not. |

Well, if that is still true, it clarifies things...somewhat. Somewhat, because with the covid year still in play, it's uncertain how many are leaving for sure. So, we may have 3 spots or we might not....So, are we making any more offers for next year? |

I pinned this thread. We should use it for all our future recruitment discussions. If someone announces a commitment, of course that should be announced in a separate celebration thread.

Bjorn has many offers - UT Rio Grande Valley, TCU, ND, OR, others but she did well at the U16. a 6'1" guard, lots to like.

That one seemed like an outlier, so my guess is that there's a story, but I don't know it.

Just watched videos of Addison Bjorn. She's ranked #8 ESPN class of 26. If their are 7 better 15 years old's than her they reside on Krypton. No wonder Geno offered her.

Hamilton annoys the hell out of me! Always a day late and a dollar short. Just regurgitated info.

I am just trying to figure out what the priorities should be.
24-25
PG Arnold
PG Bettencourt
SG Shade
SG Fudd
SG Ziebell
SF Samuel
SF Ducharme
SF Cheli
PF Patterson
PF Brady
C El Alfy
C Deberry
It seems pretty good. I think we are are definitely trying to add an additional big. I don’t believe Imari Berry is coming. The guard situation is already looking good, extremely competitive to me.
That leaves Carlton and Strong as two possibles. And there are some indicators that Uconn has registered interest in Arianna Roberson. Maybe we know we are missing out on Carlton and Strong?
If we don’t get any of these players, we could look to get an international player again. Or we could try to find a Dorka in the portal.

We clearly need another big. Another Dorka would be great.  |
