Some Newer Morgan Cheli Video

You and I are in the same boat. But I also don’t have the other social media connections, and this, the Boneyard, is the only platform where I engage with others through the iPad.

Instagram doesn’t bother you other than showing you lots of ads. You could sign up just to see the links here on the Boneyard and never open the app at all

Ok, thanks Nan. I’ll give it a try.

FormerCTrez- - I don't have any social media either! You're not rowing that boat alone!

I agree with a lot of the observations so far on this thread. She drives well and doesnt seem to get herself in trouble around the paint. Can shoot the jumper off a screen and seems to have good court vision. Welcome to the yard Morgan!!!! We will soon speculating about you in the lineup.

MC may not be the fastest or even the most talented kid in her recruiting class..........she's just a pure baller!! Her feel for the game is off the charts!! Can't wait to see her in a UConn uniform!!

2 Things I like in recruits: 1. A PURE Baller 2. A 3 ball kid with a high release. I could add to that a LOVE for UConn, and a bit of Old School--but, I'm not greedy I take this kid, NOW.

Coach you've got to be more "Mod". However, you and I apparently are in good company.

As we used to say "Not afraid to put the moves on".

Love her quickness, high release shooting, decisiveness, ball handling, and those "moves".

Morgan is not going to sit on the bench at Storrs. Probably will start as a freshman. She probably can start right now. A bigger version of Ionescu.

If she can become as confident a shooter as Sabrina was at Oregon, we’re in for a treat. The comparison is spot on.

Welcome, Morgan! Can’t wait to see you play!

She's either a bigger Ionesco or a quicker Caroline.

No, wait, that's not what I meant. It's more like this:

While I like hearing about any and all prospects we have signed or shown interest in, I LOVE seeing commits that bring high levels of proven skills. This is certainly one in that category!

I really love Morgan Cheli's game. She's big, she's fast, mobile, and has a basketball IQ that is stratospheric. This young lady is simply special. I like her aggressive nature, her derring do, and her willingness to attack, attack, attack. We are so lucky to be getting her services. You'd think a native Californian would choose Stanford and van der Veer, but Geno pulled a fast one and sold UConn bball. I'm enthralled at the success of the team and look forward to thrills on top of thrills. These are the best of days, let's count our blessings. As a graduate of the University of Basketball, I thank Geno for his 40 years of achievement, what a great run it's been.

I watched the video a third time and have come to the conclusion that Morgan will be almost unstoppable when she decides to score. I believe it will take a top notch defender to stop her when she goes to the basket. The first two times I watched her scoring. This time I watched her moves and she has some of the smoothest dribbling and fastest feet that will make her a candidate for the wall at Gampel Arena. In my opinion and probably a few thousand more. GO MORGAN!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

I’m sorry to report that this was also my first thought on seeing that “Invited” post. I could wish she’d take the rest of the summer off.

Here's a couple of independent confirmations of what @Bills Fan (and Geno) says about early specialization in one sport. And just read the abstract and the conclusion. The rest is too dry to make for good reading.

Sports-specialized intensive training and the risk of injury in young athletes: a clinical case-control study - PubMed

Injured young athletes were older and spent more hours per week in organized sports. There is an independent risk of injury and serious overuse injury in young athletes who specialize in a single sport. Growth rate was not related to injury risk. The study data provide guidance for clinicians...
