UConn recruiting up a storm

Recruiting rankings usually aren't worth the paper they are printed on or pass they occupy on a computer screen but it's hard not to be impressed by UConn's ability to have secured commitments from the top two rated players in the Class of 2012 after guard Moriah Jefferson joined Breanna Stewart as early UConn commitments. Earlier in the process, fellow UConn commit Morgan Tuck was being touted as the most talented prospect in this class.

You would probably have to go back to the signing of the Tamika Williams, Swin Cash, Sue Bird, Asjha Jones and Keirsten Walters class to rival the rankings of the class the UConn coaching staff is currently putting together.

As impressive as securing commitments from Jefferson, a 5-7 guard from Glenn Heights, Tex., Stewart, a 6-foot-4 forward from North Syracuse, N.Y. and Morgan Tuck, a 6-2 forward from Bolingbrook, Ill., is for the Huskies - they are not done.

UConn is still very much involved with Xylina McDaniel, a 6-foot-1 forward out of Spring Valley High in Columbia, S.C., is still looking at Hillhouse junior wing Bria Holmes and recently got involved with Peyton Little, a guard out of Wylie High in Abilene, Tex.

It should be noted that Jefferson's THESA squad is slated to play in the tournament hosted by Little's Wylie squad from Dec. 8-10. Something tells me at least one member of the UConn coaching staff will make the trip for that event especially if Little ends up joining Jefferson at UConn.
