In reply to: UConn has offered Ayanna Patterson  posted by JBC_MO


- A few of the more diligent recruiting posters on the 'yard have written about UConn's interest in Patterson.

- Just read over that part of the thread and most of the exuberant responses are from folks really not all that familiar with her. They just see "6'2" wing" and freak out! Plus many 'yarders believe it's divine providence that any offer is automatically going their way!

- Nonetheless, Patterson's athletic ability and length is something very much in vogue. Gotta keep up with the South Carolina's and Baylors of the world.

- So, it's smart for ND to pursue Kiki Iriafen in 2021. Also, as noted by MPG, Janiah Barker out of Florida, is a very similar player to Patterson. As you noted, she knows and is close with Citron.

While somewhat different forwards, Timea Gardiner and Grace VanSlooten are also tall and multi-faceted.

Thanks for the post. Expect Niele and staff to push on all relevant fronts.
