Geno thinks that Bueckers and Fudd are unusual talents and are college ready right now.

Geno thinks that Bueckers and Fudd are unusual talents and are college ready right now.

Not just Geno. Dan Olson of ESPN thinks Azzi Fudd is the best player in all of HS basketball and she just a Freshmen!

A process question, Coco: Let's say UConn succeeds in signing Bueckers and Van Lith next year. Does that make it less likely that Fudd will want to come to Storrs the following season? Do UConn coaches consider this and, maybe, sign Bueckers or Van Lith, but not both, leaving a spot for Fudd or do they take what they can get when they can get it? I guess the broader question is, Does UConn recruit on a year-to-year basis or is there a longer range strategy involved in the players who receive offers?

Shouldn't be a problem since Azzi is a 2-3 player while the other two are primarily 1s and could do some 2. Bueckers and Azzi are buds so if one comes to UConn I bet the other follows.

I saw her in person and think he’s on to something. If he’s wrong, he’s not far off.

Williams is the best player and she is a senior

Williams is the best player and she is a senior

it doesn't really matter who the best high school player is.............I want the best college player.............

True

Not according to Dan Olson. Fudd is ahead of Williams per his rankings.
Dan Olson ranks top 10 prospects in high school basketball

A'Ja Wilson?

Seems to be his opinion of best prospect. The player who he thinks will turn out best in college. Course, best player and best prospect aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Haley Jones highlights from the state quarterfinals on 3/9:

Kid’s a player! I wish I had watched her when I was out there last month.

Kid’s a player! I wish I had watched her when I was out there last month.

She will likely bump up in rankings when they come out. Some say she could be the new #1

3/13

Haley Jones totaled 32 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 blocks in Mitty's semifinal victory.

Happy Birthday!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Texas, Cal, and USC watched Haley Jones last night.

Fully expect that Haley Jones goes to #1 in the 2019 HS rankings by ESPN based on recent play and the Dan Olson article from 25 January 2018.

A'Ja Wilson?

meaning the high school player that becomes the best college player..........as we have seen high school rankings aren't always the best predictors of college success

Haley Jones highlights from the state quarterfinals on 3/9:

Very smooth, fluid movement. Makes everything look effortless.

 

[Razman43]

Looks like Tara made a home visit with Jones earlier this week. That makes Stanford, Oregon, USC, CAL, as well as South Carolina, Texas, ND who have pitched her this week

Haley Jones highlights from the state quarterfinals on 3/9:

Wow I thought Walker had long arms for a player listed at 6'1, Jones might have a bigger wingspan. She looks like another kid who wore number 30 and and went on to play at UConn in this highlight package.

Phew! That living room couch is sure getting a lot of use!

3/14

Hopkins advances to the state semis with an easy win Wednesday. Paige Bueckers had a very quiet game with 14 points and 5 assists before getting some rest.

Hopkins plays their semi tomorrow night, probably online as well.

 

[MilfordHusky]

After Paige’s team wins the Minnesota championship, she can rest, work on her game, and watch Maya Moore et al. in person over the summer.
