A little more on Jones' Thursday performance:


Reigning Cal-Hi Sports State Junior of the Year and Ms. Basketball State Player of the Year leading candidate Haley Jones put on a display of dribbling, passing and smooth moves that left several Chaminade defenders faked out of their sneakers and prompted one fan to blurt out “it’s just not fair.” The 6-1 ESPNW No. 1 rated junior wing and No. 5 ranked junior in the nation overall finished with a double-double 19 points, six steals and four assists – and she did it in less than three quarters of action

Replay of Cameron Brink's game Friday.

She hit numerous 12-14 foot jumpers in this one, looked like a gazelle on two transition baskets, and showed her high basketball IQ, footwork, and foot speed. Think she would be my 3rd leg in a 4x4 relay. Missed both her threes kinda badly, but the form on her shot from further in is really smooth.

32 points for Hailey Van Lith

She averaged 31.7 over the 3-game Eagle Holiday tournament.

Make it 33 points for VanLith. And some words from the opposing coach:


“It was a really good game and we led pretty much the entire way,” said Timberlake coach Matt Miller, whose team led 23-14 after the first quarter. “Down the stretch, they got to the foul line and VanLith went 11 of 12 from the line. We played well, but VanLith was incredible. The girls played well and really well. Cashmere is a good club.”

If you have some time, tune in. Brink is putting on a show.

If forced to make a comparison, I'd say Brink has a lot of A'ja Wilson in her game.

I hope that doesn't include driving in only one direction with the ball...................;)

Cameron Brink goes for 20 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 FT), 7 rebounds, and 3 steals

She sat much of the second half with foul trouble. Still, I've seen enough these last few days to put her with Bueckers in my top-2 of 2020 wish list.
 
“They’re a great team. (Brink) is a phenomenal player,” Evans-Gygax said. “She’s probably the best player we’ve played against, so it’s great experience for us.”


Brink, coming off a 24-point performance in the semifinals, showed her vast array of skills as the Skyhawks gradually pulled away.


Late in the first quarter, she swatted a shot on one end and hit a soft, pull-up jumper on the other end. Minutes later, she pulled up from the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer to give Southridge a 19-7 lead.


“It helps that she’s got so many good teammates around her,” Bergmann said. “It’s really hard to double her, and she’s a willing passer.”

I don't know if Brink will ever be as physical as Wilson is. Obviously the comparison to Stewie has been made before and I definitely see that. A long, thin, finesse 4 that can block shots and rebound, as well as handle the ball and step out and hit a jump shot. I also don't see her playing with her back to the basket as much as Wilson does.

There are certainly differences but, as I said, I think there are a lot of similarities too. Wilson was basically a complete finesse player until the last year or so. Brink has plenty of years to get stronger and add some weight. She won't have to be physical to be an impact player though.

We haven't had a kid from her area in a long time, maybe forever. But the kids from So. Cal. did pretty well here; Diana, Kaleena, Lou, and Charde.

The Monarchs have a deep roster with all five starters garnering Division I college attention, but when you talk about Mitty it all starts with Haley Jones.

To be blunt the 6-1 Jones was magnificent. The reigning Cal-Hi Sports State Sophomore of the Year and leading candidate for the Ms. Basketball State Player of the Year this season finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds, six assists and five steals. For most girls it would have been a career game but for Jones it was just another day at the office, and she barely played in what was a running clock fourth quarter.

At the start of the game she guarded Cal Stars Nike Elite teammate and Cal-bound Folsom star McKenzie Forbes, but at some point in the game she played all five positions on the court.

“Haley demonstrated the whole package tonight and showed her full skill set,” Phillips remarked. “Great defense playing all five spots on the court, passing, handling the ball, scoring with contact, hitting the three, she did it all.”

Today at Memphis Game Sam Brunelle showed no emotion as I was on opposite side looking at bench area. It was nice her parents and Sam came to CT in such cold weather and after her recent games. I have to admitted that my emotion was limited to Lou’s great defense and rebounding and Megan Walker’s great offensive performance.

So who was the recruit sitting behind S. Brunelle?
Expand ...

Watching the highlights, Brunelle was missing from her seat much of the second half though her parents were still there. There was a girl in a grey sweater behind Brunelle who cheered a lot. Perhaps her sister? Maybe you're talking about the girl in the blue jacket who was next to grey sweater girl. Unless it was Caroline Ducharme again, I don't know who it was.


Edit:

Well, we now know it was Saylor Poffenbarger, her second game attended this year.
