UConn may have lost last night, but they won this morning. Receiving a commitment from the #1 ranked player in the 2024 class, Sarah Strong. The 6’2 Forward is incredibly skilled in the low post, can handle the ball well for her size, and is a knockdown three point shooter.

UConn has won 24% of all men's College Basketball National Championships since 1999. UConn has won 40% of all women's College Basketball National Championships since 1999. Utter dominance.

Just to be clear I understand why UConn wants to join the Big 12 and it’s probably necessary. That being said you are going to have to drag me along kicking and screaming. We’re not going to find a “home” in the Big 12 like we had in the Big East.
