In reply to: Sedona Prince To Visit UConn posted by dillon77
...visited all three of the schools she targeted: ND, Louisville and, ultimately, Florida State.
Still, point well taken: so many of the transfers seem to have a very good idea of where they want to go.
I seem to recall reading/hearing that Prince wanted to take her time and find the right fit. Let's hope that's the case and that includes taking the time to swing by South Bend. Geesh, you'd think we lost the last two NCAA semifinals against UConn.
This post from UConnCat on the Boneyard:
"There’s no indication (or reason to believe) Storrs will be her only visit."
My observation is that Cat is usually right when she says something like this. Enough so that I think she has real sources (or is just incredibly smart/observant).
...in which UConn gets first shot, then ND 2nd dibs. One can only hope she follows my old bosses' rule for corporate travel: "Go to your furthest destination first, then work you way back home." Stay tuned, indeed.
Glad to see that she is taking a visit to ND. Hope she falls in love with
it like I did many years ago. A positive is she will get to see all the
progress ND is making regards to facilities. Putting some class rooms in
the football stadium is a great idea. It is on the way to and from the
basketball court.
...I never been to Storrs. How does their facilities compare to ND. I can
not imagine they have as funds available as ND can get.
...My last question. Are Nelson and Prince both Post 5's. If not could Nelson
be switched to a 4...They also seem to be getting fatter at the post
position. It sure would be nice to have UCONNS and Oregon problems getting
post players.

Visits: Glad to hear her state that there's no reason to think this is Prince's only visit. I'm (almost) certain I'd heard that the Princes wanted to take their time and find the right place.
Cat: Now whether Cat read/heard the same thing or gotten it from someone in the know, I'm not certain. However, she's very measured and pretty certain about when she states something, so she's onto something. Whether it's sourced, based on good research or some combination thereof, so be it.
Sometimes some acid drips off her ND-related comments but, hey, The Boneyard is a UConn-related enterprise. In any case, she's a poster I make sure to read.
Thanks.
Oregon have, it looks like they will have 20 girls on their roster when it’s all said and done. What is the appeal when these teams are so stacked and yet we lose our entire starting 5 and we’re scrambling to put a roster together that has enough to even scrimmage in practice- smh
That’s the issue we have for a transfer that only has one year left to play and with just about any transfer. ND has been killer by losing three that would have been returning starters or star subs next year in AP, Jackie, and EB.
UConn and Oregon are selling “extremely high odds of getting sting with us this year even if you don’t play” v “ND is starting from scratch and is years away from anything close to what you grew up seeing.”
It works on many. ND is selling you are guaranteed to play a lot and history shows we don’t take as long to reload as others say we do. We still have more McDonals AA than all but 2-3 teams.
Maybe Oregon and UCONN brings the fact we lost all 5 starters and 2 players
with experience to the attention of recruits. You want to win now. Try us and
not ND. I am pretty sure that is being used against us.
