if she were to want to commit and basically stop chasing Fudd or hold out for Azzi?

transfers after this season - too much talent coming in and the writing will be on the wall for some who will be relished to the bench


Stopped chasing Fudd long ago. *

The poor competition that UConn plays in the AAC has come home to roost.

That’s why Geno was so salty when we left the Big East. He knew where UConn would be left. Iron sharpens iron, and the AAC has no iron. Nor does the new Big East, without us.

chance at both. NI is a confident recruiter and coach. She would not have
accepted Daras commitment and any other player if there was still a chance
for AF. I am shore she is or will develop a plan or something will occur to
take AF. That is a talent you keep on your board and mind till the end.
Don't Give Up, Never Give Up.

Here is a question. Can you redshirt a player on the roster and not be
counted towards the 15 that year?

SEG/Chief


No, they count *

since she played in a game this year. She would have to not play this coming season.

As she's a senior this year. The only way we have room for both Kiki and Azzi starting in the 21-22 season would be if Vaughn forgoes her 5th year or if someone tranfers.


This is the correct analysis of the 2021-22 roster situation *

I'm an eternal pessimist, but I'd take whoever commits first

It's really quite a greedy thing to do to "hold out for Azzi Fudd" if Kiki Iriafen wants to commit, as it would be to "hold out for Kiki Iriafen" if Azzi Fudd wants to commit. Best case scenario you wind up with the star you 'preferred,' but if you don't then you wind up with nobody (not to mention some other schools get better). If you just take the first player to commit between the two of them, you get better no matter what, and you hang your hat on an excellent recruiting cycle.

Is worth two in the bush. If we can get Kiki....get her. She is at a position of need. If she commits we tell AF that if there is a transfer we will hold the schollie for her. If no one transfers then she has lots of options, including UConn.


Azzi Fudd Is a Clear #1 Prospect.....

...and she'd be a welcome addition to any college team and most WNBA teams.

That said, ND could use a forward out of this class and the fact that Niele and Dara Mabrey committed to each other tells me the odds for Fudd are tough.

The good news is that if Kiki holds off until September (to get an OV in), Fudd might make up her mind by then.
