CD last night:

“Ice is very, very skilled. She can really shoot the ball, she can score inside, can score outside,” Dailey said. “She's not 100% yet and I think, you know, there's a process to that, having to sit out and then getting back into shape. … She's a really, really good shooter. I don't expect her to miss, you know, if she misses, I'm surprised.”

UConn women's basketball's Chris Dailey says past two years made Huskies stronger: 'We will be better'

UConn women's basketball associate head coach Chris Dailey helped open the 2023 UConn Coaches Road Show Tuesday at Kinsmen Brewing.

She looks great!

Her shot is fluid whether shooting left or right handed.

Just wondering if the European games will be streamed in August. It will be a good appetizer for November for at least 10 of the women playing...

In that video, Ice shows a wide range of her shooting arsenal, including a baby hook! I love the high release point and that she practices jump-stop shots off the dribble. She’s not just looking for a standing set shot, which has been a limitation of our bigs in recent years.

One last thought: she looks a bit like a bigger version of the type of player Cotie McMahon is. I remember thinking this when they played in the FIBA games. ice is not quite as quick but a lot stronger and has a better midrange game. And of course a much stronger rebounder, and McMahon is no slouch on the boards for a six footer.

Didn't SC lose to a team that had no banger inside? Brady is banger enough.

Let's see. Paige is a shooter. Azzi is a shooter. Ice is a shooter. Qadence is a shooter. I like this!

Ashlynn…

 

[Bone Dog]

Ice will make a big splash! But Ashlynn flies under the radar. I have a feeling she's going to make her presence felt soon.

 

[cgshuskie]

Ice has the same lefty presence and skills as A'ja Wilson. Unique!!! She can be a banger too! Over time and with experience her greatness will become known. Needs work with Tina C.

 

[cgshuskie]

I think Ashlyn will be the surprise of the freshman class. She will outwork everyone, even the upper classman. A born winner!

Predict that Ice will start the season slow but be a major contributor in every way by the playoffs, in particular the areas Huskies are potentially thin at - rebounding and down low defense. Her offensive skills will minimize the ability to double Edwards or the many sweet shooting UConn guards.

Ashlynn…

I see Ashlynn as another " Swiss Army knife" player.... and willing to do anything
to help the team to win.... things that don't show up in the box score! Go Ashlynn, Go Huskies!

I look forward to ICE taking an extra year at UCONN with her "Red Shirted Year" and playing
multiple years with SARAH STRONG.... Now.... that is a combination!!!

If your big takes a fall away jump shot in the paint, you really want another big in there to clean up the rebound as needed. That’s what I think we’ll see a lot of this year: either of Aaliyah or Ice taking the midrange jumper and the other one crashing the boards. And I have a feeling Jana and Ayanna will be able to play a similar role.

O! This year is showing up nicely.

She also has the million dollar smile. She truly loves the game and that to me is vital to constantly pushing yourself to be your new best.

 

[JellyBean]

I am looking forward to watching Ice play. If Ice (or any of the newbies) can be that spark. That missing piece to the puzzle. This is going to be a magical season. The videos of Ice shooting and being a low post and mid post are encouraging. Her mid-range game looks outstanding. I am hoping that she is 100% healthy and ready to play.

Did I miss an announcement?

No, nothing new from me. I just had the idea that with no playing time this
past 2022 -2023 season for ICE, she would be eligible for a RED SHIRIT year
and that she might be interested in 4 consecutive playing seasons at UCONN.
This was just one of my many "wish list" items for UCONN WBB.

Too cerebral for me!
