She said she’s expanding her range. She’s about 5 years ahead of Tina in that regard.

The game has changed. Outside shots are an important part of a players arsenal. Even a dominant post is strongly encouraged to develop a jump shot.

I believe she taken unofficial visits to UConn and to ND................she certainly should be pursued as she is one of the most talented players in the country and lives fairly close by in New Jersey................

Do any of you know what kind of HS competition Boston is facing up there? Does she face any size to push her development? She's in a prep school league right?

Horston is the longest shot of all because she has already sat through too many recruiting pitches where schools are telling her she is "THE WOMAN". Horston coming to UCONN to play a lesser role than "THE WOMAN" would be a very hard sales job for the UCONN staff.

Just curious, but are you stating this as a fact based on an inside source or something you read?

Honestly, every Top 20 national recruit is hearing the most complimentary things from all college coaches.

Definitely not an inside source. There was a extensive discussion on the UNC board. UNC assistant coach Sylvia Crawley is related to Horston and despite that UNC has gone from favorite to not in consideration in the opinion of some posters there. Among Horston current favorites she would be the highest rated recruit since A'Ja wilson for SC and Kelsey Mitchell for the tOSU. So while I would agree that every top 20 recruit hears complimentary things hopefully you'll agree that not all top 20 recruits are gettting the "you could be a program builder" type pitches.

Not really a yes or no answer, more like who knows. Kylee Watson and her Philly Belles AAU teammate Maddie Burke took an un-official visit to UCONN. Bottom line is that at that time no UCONN offer was extended to either player. That was over a year ago, that was also very early in the recruiting process for both players, and it would have been very unsual for UCONN to offer HS Freshmen as both were at the time. A lot could have happened (or not) since then.

2021 Amari DeBerry scored 19 points but her team lost a close one to undefeated Cardinal O'Hara.

Here's what O'Hara's coach had to say about her after the game:

Exact same Philly Belle representation (Watson, Burke) at Notre Dame last fall. Pennsylvania point guard Alli Campbell (who I believe is joining the Belles after this high school season) was also there.
There were 12 prospects there, so individual offers were probably not the order of the weekend.

I do know Prospects Nation compares Watson's game to Natalie Achonwa and that certainly would be good enough for the Irish faithful, so loved/still love the Ace.

Charlie, You do a great job of keeping us informed on the rising talent, the superstars of tomorrow, and we thank you for your time and effort. Not being one who is informed on all of the players that will be coming onto the college scene in the next 2-3 years, I'm curious. I know this question is jumping the gun a little, but I wanna know!!!

In your humble opinion, who do you think are 4 players that are pretty much a lock (already drinking the kool-aid) to commit to UConn? Most of us know who we want, but who do you think we'll get? I know you'll have a much better feel for this question in September. What does your gut say? :eek:

Azzi Fudd scored 23 points in her last regular season game Monday. That included three 3's and 6-6 from the line.

Next up is her district tourney.

just saw your question..................as the other recruiting "experts" here will tell you, I'm the last one you want to ask that question to............I only know who isn't coming to UConn and then miraculously a cute Husky dog, a UConn balloon or a UConn T shirt shows up during a press conference...........that being the case, I'm stating unequivocally that not one of the top five recruits in 2019 or 2020 have any interest in the University of Connecticut..........as a matter of fact they don't even know that Connecticut has a state university.....................there, that takes care of that..........
