More on UConn and Juhline -- Friday we passed on some info from a reader who said that Juhline wanted to go to UConn. Not so, says another reader:

"Trish grew up in Havertown, PA only 10 minutes from the Villanova campus. She went to Nova camp as a young girl and always said she was going to Villanova to play. Her AAU coach is friends with the UCONN staff and an O'Hara teacher/boys coach, Bud Gardler is great friends with Geno - both wanted them to look at Trish. UCONN did not recruit Trish - partly because they knew Trish heart was with Nova. She did visit PSU and felt that it was not a good fit for her. So lets set the record straight - Trish wanted to be close to home and Nova had always been number one for her."

We've gotten a couple emails saying the earlier story was true, and a couple saying it's false. Some folks on the UConn chatroom said Geno recently said on a TV interview something to the effect of "we recruited her" or "she wanted to come here." But this most recent email seems like it has some inside info...

Anyway, we have no first-hand knowledge of this situation whatsoever. What certainly seems true is this: UConn needs another guard, and they'd be much better if Trish were out there in the backcourt with D. If they didn't recruit her, they should have.

I am really looking forward to the possible Tennessee-'Nova match-up. I'd love to see if Trish can pull off another huge upset...
