2019/20 UConn Recruiting

I agree, but ... the league she plays in HS is not impressive (same can be said for a lot of highly rated recruits) so I take most of these numbers with a little bit of skepticism because of the competition faced.

She is a national team player. Nuff said
 
In the above archived game from Wednesday (12/27) Cameron Brink scored 14 points (6-7 fg) and added 7 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Brink played about half the game and showed numerous different skills. She's rail thin but has excellent footwork and moves lithely to disrupt opponents on defense. Smart, patient player, a willing and good passer who doesn't force things. Her only miss was a 3-pt attempt. Free throw form looked very good. A definite impact talent.

Hailey Van Lith ('20) poured in 36 points in Cashmere's easy win Thursday.

Saylor Poffenbarger ('21) continued to stuff the stat sheet: 18 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks, 3 assists

I'm curious to watch her play. I looked at their schedule, they don't play any games on the west side of the state, reasonably close to me. Maybe next year there will be a game closer.

Cameron Brink reminds me a lot of a kid from North Syracuse who is now playing in China.
 
One last Bluestar evaluation from the Nike TOC including Angel Jackson who Geno watched this summer. Perhaps Jackson has improved because I wasn't overly impressed with her last year.


Angel Jackson – 2019 – 6-5 – Post – Salesian — Big time junior post…Difficult to even keep her from getting position in the paint, let alone stop her…Huge target…Has a nice move set…Spins into the post in transition…Soft hands…Nice passer with her back to the basket –


Azzi Fudd – 2021 – 5-10 – Combo – St. John’s College – Rushed early in game one but settled in…Mixed her attack, speed and direction well against strong defense…Adapted to physical play…Pushed the ball and handled contact thrown her way…Pull up was solid at times…Demonstrated the ability to get better in the context of a single game or event…Becoming more assertive on the ball defensively…Not afraid to get on the floor…Just another step

PN's Chris Hanson breakdown of the Nike TOC's top performers:

Haley Jones – Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, Calif.) – 2019
Jones sits at No. 14 in the ProspectsNation.com ELITE 100. Her versatile play helped lead the Monarchs to a championship in the top bracket of the TOC, including a wins over the former No. 1 team in the country, Riverdale (Tenn.), in the semifinal and No. 2 St. Mary’s Stockton (Calif.) in the championship. Her combination of size at 6-1 and fluid athleticism allows her to play four positions and at a high level. She sees over pressure, can be physical at this level on the interior, making her a matchup problem no matter who you throw at her. And with a talented supporting cast, including Penn State bound Karisma Ortiz and San Diego bound Nicole Blakes, utilizing those mismatches is almost seamless.


Azzi Fudd – St. John’s College (District of Columbia) – 2021
Much has been made of Fudd’s game from an early age, and for good reason; she’s incredibly talented. She is the early favorite for the top ranking in 2021 class and her smooth scoring skill set was on display in the desert. She has a graceful way about her even when playing through contact and the strength to finish those plays. Though she gave up several inches and some length to Jones in the match up with Mitty, her willingness to battle with her was telling about her mindset.

She made a bunch of wow plays last night just in the flow of the game. Two blocks, a super quick turn move past her defender to the basket, and an alley-oop catch for a layup over a zone. You can see why her upside is so high.

Brink's game tonight will also be streamed on YouTube. I'll post it later.
 
Easy to see why Cameron Brink's team is rated nationally. They are terrific defensively. Brink was hit with one awful foul and one very questionable one early today that benched her for most of the 1st. Hasn't stopped her from impressing.
 
12/28

Cameron Brink's line from Thursday: 12 points (6-9 fg), 8 rebounds, 4 assists

Made two terrific passes, one over a double team. Also made a hustle play where she came out of nowhere to dive on the floor and pick up a loose ball, passing to a teammate who hit a three. She is NOT a perimeter player, at least not yet. High-level skill though; really impressive turn-around jumper in the post. Has some Brittney Griner to her game with super-quick feet. Impacts in numerous ways.

MaxPreps Top 25 National Girls Basketball Rankings -
By: Clay Kallam | MaxPreps.com - Wednesday, December 27, 2017

There's a two-part process to becoming a member of the Xcellent 25: 1) Play good teams; 2) Beat them.

Our new No. 1, Archbishop Mitty of San Jose, has followed that recipe to perfection. Even though Northern California (aside from Mitty and St. Mary's of Stockton) is not as strong as in the past, the San Jose Catholic school first played the best teams it could find in the area.

Then coach Sue Phillips, a gold-medal winner with USA Basketball, scheduled a trip to the usually loaded Nike TOC in Arizona, and hit the jackpot. Six of the top ten teams in the Xcellent 25 were in Gilbert, just south of Phoenix, including the three teams ranked ahead of previous No. 4 Mitty. And then Archbishop Mitty beat all three, on consecutive nights.

Included is a Video of 15-year old dunking queen Canadian sophomore Laeticia Amihere who has become a dunking sensation.

Bob Corwin's take on the Nike TOC:

Haley Jones 6-1 2019 Archbishop Mitty High School (San Jose, California) MVP

Jones is one of the most versatile players in the USA capable of playing all positions thanks to high level skill set combined with high basketball IQ and 6-1 height. She scores in and out of the paint but also makes others around her better.

Brink runs the floor well for a player her height, even beating a few guards up and down, she might not score a lot playing on a stacked team, but I think she’s the top player in 2020.

Most intriguing thing I saw in that game from Brink was she is absolutely fluid with and without the ball and an advanced passer. Getting to number one in that class will be a tall order though.

12/29

Cameron Brink impresses again with 24 points (11-17 fg) and 10 rebounds:


It all starts with the commanding interior presence of Brink. She not only scored on post-ups and putbacks, but also showed off a nice midrange jumper.


“I’m developing my outside game, for sure, and I’m just getting stronger to play through stuff,” Brink said. “Strength and shooting, I’m definitely taking a step forward in that kind of stuff.”


Brink showcased her wide range of skills against Clackamas. On one play in the second half, she blocked a shot on a baseline drive, grabbed the rebound and drove coast-to-coast for a basket, also drawing a foul.


“The thing about her is she’s got like five more steps she can take,” Bergmann said of Brink, who entered averaging 16.4 points and 11.7 rebounds.
