Her height seems to be in great dispute. I've seen everything from 5-5 to 5-10, most often probably 5-6. |

if she's not top 5 she won't ever get to play anyway.

UConn gets another '23 commitment. This one is Ashlyn Shade, a guard of varying height who is ranked No 5 on ESPN. She fills stat sheets and is reported to be very very tough. Some LV fans thought they had a real good shot at her.
If they add Toomey they will have the 3,5 & 8 in 2023 and will have had the No 1 or No 2 recruiting class for 4 years running.
What's encouraging is that despite UConn getting the first bite of the apple there is still a lot of elite level talent going elsewhere. The apple is looking more like a pumpkin. I doubt that Williams '23 will pick the Huskies. But then Geno only had 2 in '22 so a 4 player class is more likely.

My friend who is 5'9" stood next to her at the FF and she said they were about the same height. In a photo of her and Geno I saw, she was noticeably taller than him and I would guess Geno is about 5'7".
I really hope she isn't 5'6"

All those #1/#2 classes and no "ship." Like Duke under JPM, except all those #1/#2 teams didn't even get to a FF.

With all the players still taking Covid years, grad transfers, and whatnot, as some of you mention, this could limit the number of freshmen recruits. It makes me wonder if more will go the JUCO route for a year or so.
There is a JUCO in the town where my daughter lives that has for years had a seriously good WBB program. Their longtime coach retired a couple of years ago but AFAIK the team is still doing very well. There are other programs (I'm thinking particularly of some in Texas and Kansas) that are WBB factories. Some players could conceivably choose that route if spots continue to be limited.

UConn women’s basketball added its third commitment to the class of 2023, landing guard/wing Qadence Samuels.
www.hudl.com/profile/14478847
6'1" - 6'2" wing.
Quote: |
Samuels, who averages 13.5 points and 6.9 rebounds, has a competitive edge in between the lines that separates her. As she learns to translate that into day-to-day work, consistency and production, watch her stock continue to rise. She has offers from North Carolina, Tennessee, Wake Forest, Florida State, Alabama, Kansas State, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech Miami, Mississippi State and Pitt. |

That's a great pickup for her first 3 months on the job. With the right coach, Virginia could easily get back to it's glory days. Great university in an area full of high school talent.

So glad Virginia got rid of Tina Thompson. Coach Mox just snapped another commitment, this time 3-star 6'2 player by the name of Breona "Bre" Hurd of Waynesville, Missouri - she tweeted as of this morning that she committed to Coach Mox and Virginia! She is in the Class of 2024.

Horrible situation for Ava and her family. Prayers lifted:
Ava Jones, a rising high school senior from Kansas who verbally committed to Iowa's women's basketball team Sunday, was seriously injured along with her parents when they were struck by a car in Louisville on Tuesday night.
The family was there for the Run 4 the Roses girls' basketball tournament, in which Jones was playing with her club team. They were hit when the vehicle drove onto a sidewalk. The driver who struck them, Michael Hurley, was charged with four counts of first-degree assault and driving under the influence. He told police he had recently taken the drug hydrocodone.
Jones was reported to be in serious condition, and her parents, Amy and Trey Jones, in critical condition. A child reported to be Jones' younger brother was treated for minor injuries. According to Billy Watson of the Hutchinson News in Kansas, Jones' grandmother said Jones was expected to recover, although her injuries have not been made public.

OK State adds yet another guard to their 2023 class in Brenna Butler. High school teammate of Texas Tech frosh Bailey Maupin.
