October UConn Recruiting Thread

[MSGRET]

I was not impressed with Hailey Van Lith's play last summer in the FIBA U19 World Cup, she seemed to be slow and lost.

Awesome news with Edwards today!!

With regard to Hailey Van Lith, man that feistiness she has... she will be good and if she goes to ND, I feel she will haunt us. Anyone else feel that way?

No

It's possible I've missed this being posted, but in case it wasn't here's a more up-to-date video highlight of Nika Muhl. If she plays like this or better for us it's going to be really hard to keep her off the floor. The next couple of years are going to be a pleasure to watch. And if we get Azzi and Amari, it will simply be glorious! Lol

Hmmm Not yet?

Similar answer for ND in regards to Verhulst visiting the campus.

Can report that ND and Verhulst's USA backcourt mates Oliva Miles and Sonia Citron have "mutual interest": Miles visited ND in the summer on the way to a tourney in Indy; and, Citron has an offer from the Irish.
Will take a look for Citron in the stands at Fordham on Nov. 5th.

Will have a somewhat clearer picture after the 2020 situation finishes.

There is so much polish and nuance to her game! She sets up every pass or shot with a shoulder fake, head fake, look away, etc. She is going to be fun to watch!!!

22 points, 22 rebounds for Awak Kuier yesterday.

I guess that's a double-double-double-double.

I really enjoyed watching the European players in the last 2 World Cups, in Istanbul and Tenerife. They have players like Emma Meesseman, the 2019 WNBA Finals MVP. Nika will be a joy to watch.

If we hadn't gotten Paige, I would have been thrilled that we got an excellent PG in Nika. But we have them both. Don't turn your head when she is on the floor, or you will miss a highlight like those provided by Moriah. The ball movement with Nika and Paige will be dazzling. They will have finishers that include Megan, Christyn, Olivia, Anna, Aaliyah, Mir, and Saylor. Hopefully, Azzi will be added to that list. She's the best finisher since Maya.

Sluconn it seems that you're very high on Kuier. Can you talk a little bit more about her strengths compared the other players UCONN is targeting. It seems most want and believe Deberry will come to Storrs, but you seem to be higher on Kuier.

From what I've seen--highlights only--she seems to be a much more athletic, more coordinated Breanna Stewart. And her development curve appears enormous. It's taken her about two years to go from a post player to an all-around player who is now hitting threes.

Guessing you are extrapolating Stewie back to her High School form??

If you Google her, there’s a USA Today video of her jamming a two hand reverse dunk. Freakish athleticism.

Yes, even her freshmen year college form.

Her skill level really sets her apart for me.

Be careful with those highliht videos. They don't put clumsy plays in those. I'm sure there's a highlight film somewhere of Stewart looking like Nijinsky.

I think we are going to move into a time reminiscent of DT and Maria Conlon where Paige plays the DT role and Nika plays the Maria Conlon role. It's going to be great pretty basketball!!!!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Edwards had 19 points in the game archived above.

10/22:

19 points (8-17 FG), 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks

Aaliyah didn't play the 4th Q.

Except that Nika isn't short and slow.

 

[BobbyJ]

Quick, decisive, and no hesitation with the ball. Her footwork and body control is phenomenal. If a degree isn't important to her she probably is too good to spend time playing college ball. She's the best big at her age I've seen in many years, including Stewart. AT HER AGE NOW. The mobility plus the post setup and moves are ridiculous.

He'll find something to needle her about though....lol.
