I like Zia attitude on this: "It is good that they (UCONN) are here but the fact that I don't have an offer from them means I got to work harder"

Yep, and she looked really competitive defending in that clip too. Shea must've taken notice.

Congrats to new Mustang Kylie Watson on receiving 3 NCAA D1 offers in one week! UVA, Nova, and Louisville would be getting one great kid!

KYLEE WATSON- MAINLAND REG HIGH SCHOOL-6’3’- FORWARD

Now some will question why she is on this list. While she will not be attending a shore school. She is every bit a shore player. She has trained and played with shore teams thought-out her young career. She is currently playing up as part of the best 2019 AAU team in the state, THE JERSEY STARZ’S. There is zero question who is the best incoming freshman in the entire state of New Jersey; Kylee Watson is a player every program would be proud to build around. Her teammates like, respect and admire her. Next she has no ego, she will be the same person everyday she walks in the gym…she is a attitude free player. She will not expect special treatment and her family will not allow it. Her mother and future high school coach was a star at Delaware University. Her father is a former football coach. They will not allow this young lady to step out of bounds as a player of student. Her impact will be much like last year’s mega star baby Faith Masonius….off the charts. She is a true point forward in every sense of the word. She can put the ball on the deck, shoot three’s, post up and is murder off the dribble. She plays on both sides of the floor, she can block shots and can guard every single position on the floor. Here is what I will say about Kylee Watson, she may be most talented player with her size….I HAVE EVER SEEN. My guess is that she will be one of the Top 10 players in the country one day. There is zero question she will be a one of the best player in New Jersey next season. She is a SHORE ADOPTED PLAYER IN MY MIND….she is a mega talent with a real understanding what the word teammate means.

Charlie...where did you pull this write-up from? The Shore Report? The write-up very much reminds me of the one did on Masonius last year.
So, she'll be a sophomore?

Speaking of sophomores, I came across this earlier-in-the-summer write up on the USA-u17 trials and found a line on Michelle Sidor, who I know you have mixed feelings about. In any case she seemed to be firing away out there. Given how many talented seniors her HS team is losing, it will be interesting to see how she holds up when the main focus will be on her. Wonder if any transfers came into Saddle River Day.

USA U17 Trial First Impressions | Prospects Nation

Lastly, switching to Class of 2017, I'm still a bit perplexed to read virtually nothing about Raven Farley-Clarke, who has charted out well in most services. We've both seen her on and off, but the lack of any news on her is surprising (particularly given that 6'4" posts don't grow on trees). Have you heard anything?

If I remember correctly it was from Tiny Green's blog at Hoop Group.............he is the king of NJ Shore basketball assessments...........haven't seen Clarke recently........frankly don't know where she's at after the Sparks had their breakup...............Sidor is going to be enemy #1 for every team she faces and she lost all of that senior help that she had last year...........we may see her in the next few weeks, not sure if SRD is participating in our unofficial "coachless" fall league, something tells me she'll still get 20+ per game but it wan't be easy........there's a slight possibility we may see AEH soon as I heard a rumor Ossining may be coming down our way............that would be fun.............or not for our kids

BTW Tiny Green says this about Kylee Watson "Kylee Watson is something I have never seen before, she is the most talented player these eyes has ever seen ….PERIOD"

That guy has seen pretty much every good/great NJ high school recruit for the past 15 years so I don't take those words lightly!!!! I know UConn is well aware of her............gotta keep the area talent home and that doesn't mean ND , Louisville or Maryland each of which have grabbed skilled NJ girls in the past few years

Do we have Rebecca's girls signed up yet? How about Maria's daughter? (She may be short but will probably be slow enough to make up for it.) Got to plan ahead, donchaknow?

I want Faith Masonius.
Just love her game. Saw her play while in Jersey last year.

No idea why not. We could definitely use her considering we lose A'ja a few months prior, haven't brought in a TRUE post in years and we're not really expected to in 2017 either. We do have Harrigan but her game is very Wing-like, she's almost as good outside as she is inside.

I'm assuming it's because we're going after Collier, Nelson-Ododa and a few regional posts really hard in that class..

Either way, SC will be a team of guards and wings in about 2 years if I'm judging by our current recruiting successes and trends.

What position did the USC coach play?
 
Bob Corwin report on September 23-25 exposure events includes one UConn target.


Samantha Brunelle, 6-2, power forward, 2019, Team Loaded 2018 Davis 17U (Ruckersville, Virginia)


Brunelle had the performance of the weekend, 36 points versus a respectable Georgia Sting team. She has good post up moves (beautiful sky hook) but can also hit the three and mid-range shots. She passes well to the post when on the perimeter. Defensively she showed the ability to block shots. If you want a weakness, call her a finesse stretch four in need to toughen up a bit. However, come senior year do not be surprised to call her “National High School Player of the Year”. She is certainly a candidate for the class of 2019.

Thanks! Great skills, but needs to toughen up. Sounds like Geno's assessment of Elena.
 
PROSPECTS NATION 2019 TOP 60 RANKINGS OUT
Guard Zoe Young of Iowa Tops List; Sam Brunelle at #4

Prospects Nation just put out its latest rankings of the 2019 Top 60 and a slew of the players we've talked about are listed, from point guard Anaya Peoples (#3) and forward Breanna Beal (#6) to wing Sammie Puisis (#19) and post Aliyah Boston from Massachusetts (#22).

Charlie -- a number of the NJ prospects you and I have observed and shared observations about are also on this list: guard Michelle Sidor (#44); forward Faith Masonius (#50); and, point guard Asonah Alexander (#59). All are in their sophomore seasons of high school and I look forward to catching the NJ talent this winter.

Thanks for the head's up...........glad to see so many NJ/NY players making the grade........we ran into Sidor a couple of weeks ago, I think she is more then 5'6", I'd say closer to 5'8" as she was slightly taller then my 5'7" daughter.........she knows she has her work cut out for her this year.............

Jamie Dehar is a new name, at least to me. Is there any more you can tell us about her?

Can't find that name anywhere.

With all due respect, folks who plant names with supposed interest should give a bit of info so we can do some research.

Here is some info on Jamie. Some NYC fans believe she is already better then some of the kids in NY who are getting all the attention. I believe she plays AAU ball with Mike Flynn and the Belles.

Just received this from a friend/coach in NY. Got to watch 6'2" incoming freshman Jamie Behar out of Oceanside HS in Long Island NY. She will be the next best player to come out of the New York area in years to come. Budding high major D1 collegiate player. Great size and moves very well on the perimeter.

Heres a letter a friend forwarded to me. He is the same person who told me about Breanna Stewart when she was 12 yrs old.

I will keep an eye out for her. I have enough clues now. If she's with Belles I'll find her. A 6'2" PG sound very interesting.

Zia Cooke discuss her recruiting and list her top 5 over dinner with Boxer Robert Easter Jr...
UCONN hasn't offered her a scholarship yet, but I get the feeling she would love to play for Geno..

Everybody wants a UCONN offer because even if you decide not to go there it means you're one of the best players in the country usually, regardless of rankings. If you get a UCONN offer then that means you've been vetted by the best coach to play for the best program. They will no doubt be in her top 5 if they ever offered.

Sounds like to me though that she really likes Dawn Staley and South Carolina. I may be biased. ;)
 
Louisville starting early.......... Class of 2022............

Cassidy Jo Rowe‏@cassidyballer5 Really enjoyed my unofficial visit Louisville
