Huskies coach Geno Auriemma will begin making his home visits today. A recruiting source said that he will spend time with Stefanie Dolson, a 6-foot-5 center from Port Jervis, N.Y., Lauren Engeln, a 5-11 guard from Laguna Hills, Calif., Cassie Harberts a 6-2 post player from San Clemente, Calif., Bria Hartley, a 5-10 point guard from North Babylon, N.Y., Michala Johnson, a 6-3 forward from Lombard, Ill., Chiney Ogwumike, a 6-3 post player from Cypress, Texas, and Samarie Walker, a 6-1 swingman from Dayton, Ohio.
UConn has already received oral commitments from Dolson, Engeln, Johnson and Walker. Adding Daisha Simmons, a 5-9 point guard from Jersey City, N.J., to the mix, the Huskies could sign as many as seven players from the Class of 2010. Simmons made an unofficial visit to UConn last Thursday.
The source also said that Auriemma is expected to visit the high schools of Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, a 6-foot junior guard from Mater Dei High in California, and Ariel Massengale, a 5-6 junior point guard from Bolingbrook High School in Illinois, during his travels. He cannot talk to either Mosqueda-Lewis or Massengale at this time per NCAA rules, but he can speak with their coaches.
