2019/20 UConn Recruiting

Buecker's Hopkins team wins their section championship final 95-62. No details but posted comments indicate that Bueckers wasn't scoring a lot but spent the game feeding her team mates.

examples: "Hopkins up 46-26 with 3:58 left in 1H. Paige Bueckers hasn't had her typical scoring night, but she's run the show for the Royals." "Hopkins ball movement working wonders. Chakolis with 12 points in this half, mostly on backdoor cuts."

Van Lith plays at one of the lower divisions (1A) in Washington. There are very few D1 prospects that come from those schools, so her level of competition is not particularly high.

I noticed that as well, I also noticed that her overall rankings of #1 and #5 are the highest for a player from the state of Washington since Angie Bjorklund back in 2007, who had a so so career.

Gotta be careful how much emphasis we place on quality of competition. Christyn Williams is not exactly facing upper tier talent in Arkansas but all the evaluators love her.

Exactly. This is why the majority of evaluations are made during the AAU season and Team USA tryouts/games, when prospects are facing their toughest competition.

I think it it is safe to say the behind the back passes will disappear against elite competition.

Point guard Paige Bueckers had 20 despite playing what she called "not my best game."

Hopkins moves on to the state tourney where they lost in the final last year.

Yeah, I was kinda irked when she went to Tennessee. Didn't come close to living up to the hype. While all the national recruitniks were all about Bjorklund, some of the people who know HS hoops in the state of Washington thought the player from that class to really keep an eye on was an under the radar smallish point guard from Kentwood HS named...Courtney Vandersloot. We all know which of those two turned out better by a huge margin, both in college and professionally.


edited--Note that Angie's older sister Jamie stayed home for college and played at Gonzaga. GU and Tennessee met up once or twice while the sisters were both in school. Their parents got t-shirts made up that were half Tennessee and half Gonzaga.
 
Seeing a lot of in homes of our potential recruits.........I hope UConn has somebody on the road this week

Can't wait until we see these three in the team picture together in 2021.Wait,does that mean we all have to be three years older? Maybe we can just wait and fantasize about when it does eventually happen.:)

from an 2016 interview

Beal, who has about 25 offers, said she has long admired Connecticut and Stanford, for different reasons.

"Everyone is amazed at Connecticut," said Beal, adding that the Huskies have not contacted her. "They win championship after championship, and I have rooted for them each time."

Beal said Stanford has contacted her father, and she lists that school as the type of program she wants -- high academic standards combined with athletic excellence.

"Whether I go there or not, I want to have my (GPA) be good enough for Stanford," said Beal, who has a 3.7.

Beal said her first scholarship offer came from the University of Iowa when she was only in sixth grade.
 
3/9

Cameron Brink had 16 points and 10 rebounds today in Southridge's state semifinal win.

Well that would mean Buecker's going to Siena College. :rolleyes:

That would be a stunning development, wouldn't it? I would love to see something like that happen.

Hmm. Do we think we know where they are going to college together?
 
Potentially awful news for Aubrey Griffin. She had 36 points and 12 rebounds tonight to get Ossining into the state championships.

Late in the game she felt something in her knee on a non-contact play going for a layup. The trainer checked her out and reportedly was discouraged with the results.

I like the determination.

Overall, my main comment is quit screwing around and get Boston. Local kid with great upside and immediate benefits. While we gaze to Australia and other locations, we have the answer in our relative backyard.

If I'm not mistaken the ball is in Boston's court...................she is a 2019 recruit while Ezi is 2018..............Boston may be waiting to see what transpires even though they are different kinds of players...............with ONO and Ezi do UConn even want or need a distinct low post presence? I'd say yes but that's Geno's call..........
