Take a look at Strong in the semi final game vs Japan. When it looked as though the USA was about to lose, she took over the game scoring the last 6 points.

There is no evidence that Koval is a UConn target. And there is even less evidence that Koval is interested in UConn. Why is there less evidence that Koval is interested in UConn? Can there be less evidence than no evidence? I can well understand the skepticism here. But Koval has played things very, very, very close to her chest. She's completely mum about this. In this circumstance, I think we need to suspend disbelief and just watch it all play out. But I wouldn't be shocked if sometime between November and March she announces for UConn. Geno plays the long game, and clearly so does Koval. What's less than no evidence? I suppose a statement " under no circumstances will I even consider UConn" would be less than zero.

A kid from New York that has no interest in UConn. Pretty much less than zero for me. No publicly expressed interest. We have no idea what goes on indirectly and sub rosa. As I said, given how tight-lipped she is and how tight-lipped Geno often is, nothing would surprise me, one way or the other. geno? Tight lipped? He gushed about the players we were recruiting a few months ago. He raved about a player we were recruiting that also is a great softball player. Geno is really not that tight lipped sometimes. He is a lot like us. He gets excited and he can’t help himself. I don’t see a lot of interest in justice Carlton from our fanbase. But we made her top 4 or 5. So, we probably have a chance with her. 🤷♂️

He's one of the best WCBB recruiters of all time. I have no idea if UConn is interested in Koval or if Koval is at all interested in UConn. I can imagine a lot of scenarios where it's to Geno's benefit and even Koval's benefit to be completely shut down on expressing publicly any mutual interest. But for all I know, she's after a huge NIL contract (hence the trip to Miami), which, for all I know about her family circumstances she might need. And, for all I know, Geno let it be known that, while UConn players can get large NIL contracts, it's not something promised by the university coming in (South Carolina guarantees everyone on the team $25K each year as a minimum). I just think she'd be a good fit for UConn. And nothing would surprise me either way.

I’m all in on Addison Bjorn. I haven’t learned my lesson after Toomey. Speaking of Toomey, I think something good is brewing in North Carolina.

And a cringe went through PC, StJs et al. The Top Spot rankings have her 7th. A lot of HS pg's play that position because they are the best players on their teams. Gabby Williams was a pg. From the still photos I'd say that anything less than 12min/game would be an insult.

More guards. Great.

Morgan is following Divine Bourrage, a 2025 guard. Morgan read semper's post that "More guards. Great" and is finding more. Morgan has no sense of sarcasm. www.instagram.com/vine_spirit/

I have done a little cleanup and moved the posts related to NIL and impacts to recruiting to a new thread. Let's try to keep this thread on topic and keep it to recruiting news on who UConn has offered or is following on the recruiting trail. If you want to interject NIL stuff, please use the new thread.

Maybe we should start playing a 5 guard offense like Creighton?

I think this blog is a bit behind though, as Jana will now have 4 years beginning next year. She is redshirted this year.

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. No Justice for UConn:

I don’t know who Danny Davis is. I don’t know how good of a source he is. And I assume that Justice wants to make this a big deal and announce herself. If her decision was leaked; she is probably fuming.
But yes. Texas was always the most likely landing spot.
