On today’s episode of Locked On UConn, we break down UConn’s upcoming matchup against DePaul, a historically one-sided rivalry where UConn holds a 25-1 all-time record and has won 35 straight Big East games by double digits. DePaul has been better than expected this season, but their scoring struggles and defensive weaknesses make an upset highly unlikely—can Jorie Allen’s scoring and ability to get to the free-throw line help them keep it close, or is another 30-point blowout inevitable? Next, we dive into recruiting, where UConn’s 2025 class is shaping up well with three strong commitments—Kelis Fisher (No. 27, combo guard), Gandy Malou-Mamel (No. 72, 6-6 post), and Ecuadorian wing Blanca Quinones—but they might not be done yet, as Agot Makeer (No. 4, 6-1 wing) remains a major target. With strong UConn ties through Crestwood Prep and Kia Nurse’s AAU program, could Makeer be the final piece to elevate this class? Lastly, we analyze UConn’s projected starting lineup for next season, debating who the locks are, who might lose their spot, and whether a freshman, transfer or unexpected departure could shake things up. Could an incoming recruit or transfer portal addition make their way into the rotation?

We cover all the key storylines in today’s episode!

Segment 1: UConn vs. DePaul – Another Blowout Incoming?

• UConn is 25-1 all-time against DePaul, with DePaul’s only win coming in 1983.

• The Huskies have won 35 straight Big East games by double digits—can DePaul keep this one close?

• Jorie Allen (19.4 PPG) is DePaul’s best shot, but will her free throws be enough to slow UConn down?

• Final Question for Bella: Is there any way this isn’t another 30-point UConn win?

Segment 2: UConn’s 2025 Recruiting Class – Could They Land Another Star?

• The Huskies already have three commits:

• Kelis Fisher (No. 27, combo guard, IMG Academy)

• Gandy Malou-Mamel (No. 72, 6-6 post, high upside)

• Blanca Quinones (Ecuadorian wing, playing in Italy)

• But Agot Makeer (No. 4, 6-1 wing, Montverde Academy) is still on the board.

• What are UConn’s chances? Strong connections: Crestwood Prep (Aaliyah Edwards’ school) and Kia Nurse’s EYBL program.

• Final Question for Bella: Would Makeer be the missing piece, or is this class strong enough without her?
