Maybe 6 foot. But all out aggression and hungry. I believe every top school is going to be all over her.How tall is she?
The video says ZaKiyah is playing up 2 grades which means she’s playing against girls 2 years older.
Just what we need........................a load!! She'd look real good in a brand new crisp UConn uniform on first night.When this kid gets the ball inside she has better footwork, more decisive post moves, and shields the ball on her shots with both hands better than any post player UConn had last season. It's pretty obvious why Auriemma offered her this early. She's going to be a load.
As noted in the recruiting thread ZaKiyah Johnson is going to be participating in U18 3 X 3 USA Basketball trials. At the trials she will be competing against the top or near the top of the '23 Class ( Mikayla Williams, KK Arnold & Chloe Kitts) , the top or near the top of the 24 class ( Joyce Edwards & Sarah Strong) and a pair of players ( Sunaja Agara '23 and Indya Nivar '22 who are both Stanford commits and USA gold medalist at U18 and U18 respectively. This will be an interesting tryout and eye opening if Johnson makes this team.I mentioned Johnson the other day in the recruiting thread. She took part in that 5-OT classic that featured a zillion prospects and numerous UConn POI.
Johnson is considered a potential #1 overall for '25 which is loaded at the top.
Great minds think alike. I was thinking the same thing!! How nice would it be for UConn to their own version of Aneesah Morrow? She was named the WBCA and USBWA National Freshman of the Year in 2022. She averaged a double-double with 21.9 points and 13.8 rebounds a game, and led the nation in total rebounds (457).Those defenders looked like the Red Sea parting when Zakiyah went to the hoop!
I was thinking of Aneesh (sp) Morrow of DePaul as I was watching the video. If
she grows a few inches, quite the upside!!
Whoa! Slow your roll with the “sure thing” comment. You trying to jinx us TF?Looks to be a sure thing. Another Ice Brady approach of offering early. She would certainly fit the Uconn mold of top quality taalent.
Johnson now holds offers from the likes of LSU, Mississippi State, Miami (FL), Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Auburn, Oklahoma State, Penn State, UCLA, West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Louisville and Minnesota…and more to come.She puts me in the mind of a more skilled Barbara Turner i likeeee we def need to land her. Who else has offered her ? Any more insights into whom she's considering ?
