1/13

Paige Bueckers: 18 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3-Pt), 8 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals

Bueckers did all that in about 15 minutes.

If you're not watching her games when they're on you're missing out.

No need to rush fine wine. Enjoy childhood as long as possible.

I agree but from a simply basketball perspective it's kind of like watching a great young violinist playing with the school band instead of the NY Philharmonic

1/14

Azzi Fudd already receiving the star treatment from opponents as was in evidence Sunday.

*

But dynamic freshman guard Azzi Fudd was silenced early, scoring no points in the first quarter as she faced double-teams on every touch.

....

Fudd eventually fought through the double-teams and finished with 15 points. But it was as quiet as a 15-point performance can be, save for a sidestepping, fast-break and-one she had in the third quarter that brought much of the home crowd to its feet.

Fudd's full line:

15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals
 
Long, detailed piece on Aliyah Boston:


In Worcester Academy’s most recent victory, 61-57, over St. Andrew’s School of Barrington, R.I., Boston had another impressive stat line – 25 points, 20 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 assists – but it was the effortless way in which she played that was impressive.


With the score tied, 57-57, with less than a minute left to play, Boston gathered in an entry pass on the left block and wheeled into the lane and calmly swished a 6-foot, turn-around jumper that gave Worcester Academy the lead for good, 59-57. On St. Andrew’s School’s ensuing possession Boston grabbed a key rebound to limit St. Andrew’s to one shot. Back in the offensive end she pulled down an offensive rebound and passed it out to a teammate, who canned a jumper to account for the 61-57 final.

...

When asked about the college recruiting wars that are going on to procure her services, Boston just smiled.


“I’m just enjoying the process right now,” she said. “I have a list of 10 schools that I’m considering.”


Boston, who had made unofficial visits to both Louisville and the University of Connecticut, said she plans to take her official visits after this season ends. She declined to reveal the schools on her list, saying she preferred to keep it in the family for now.


“I’ve been talking to a lot of the big Division 1 schools; a lot of them have shown interest in recruiting me,” said Boston, who was surprised to hear that many people believe that she is headed to UConn. “All I can tell you is nothing has been decided yet.”


Boston said she hopes to decide on where she will continue her education by the early signing period next year. She doesn’t know if she will verbally commit to a school before the early signing period.

“Right now I’m not sure about that,” she said. “Right now I just want to go through the process and take my time because wherever I decide to go, I’m going to spend the next four years. So, I want to make sure I make the right decision.”


She said her college decision will be based on athletics as well as academics.


“Basketball is going to end at some point so I do want to have a strong academic base to fall back on,” Boston said. “That will be a very important component to it.”

I really, really want to see a backcourt of Van Lith and Bueckers in Storrs. Suzie Q and Dee 2.0

Keep in mind that DT & Sue were not the same class and either Van Lith and Bueckers would likely be pressed into the starting PG role as a freshmen. Walker will be a senior and C. Williams a Junior. I would rather have Bueckers and get Fudd in the next class for continuity.

You don't turn down a talent like Van Lith if she wants to come. Beyond that, Fudd might end up being a wing.

2020 hypothetical starters: Bueckers, Williams, Nelson-Ododa, Walker, (Brunelle/Boston)????

Bench of Coombs, Gordon, (Brunelle/Boston, Jones, Van Lith, Brink)??????

Nobody wants to face that team, and 2021 might be stronger.

I like that lineup, especially with Macbegor added. ;)

In 2020, our Smurf will be running amok and breaking ankles in the WNBA.

2001? Bueckers is class of 2020. Fudd is 2021.

Class of 2020, freshman in the 2021 season. I was responding to a proposed lineup for UConn in 2020. Bueckers won't be a freshman till the 2021 season. In 2020 she will be a HS senior. Dangerfield will be a senior in 2020.

You're a solid 20 years off on all of these.... Math teacher here says I was a college freshman in 2000.... these kids were not.

Still not correct. Bueckers is High School Class of 2020. She will be A freshmen at UCONN for the 2020-21 season.

Right. And when the records of that year are posted they will refer to it as the 2021 season. All seasons start in the previous year but they are referred to as the year in which they end. You wouldn't refer to Bueckers' senior year as her 2019 season, even though it started there. The HS class of 2020 will start play as freshmen in the fall of 2020 but their freshman season will be referred to as the 2021 season. I have no problem if you want to call it the 2020-2021 season but if you want to use one year it should be the year the season ends.
