2019/20 UConn Recruiting

[EricLA]

Sounds like a JAB (Jones, Amihere, Boston) could be the knockout punch for UConn.

Me likey!

My apologies Aubrey Griffin........ I forgot about you as a possible 2019 UConn recruit...............finally reached Hoopgurlz at #56 after missing the prior season with a knee injury but I bet a good summer season and you will be in the 20's-30's.......

Keil Moore breakdown of Boo Williams and 2019 notes.


Freshman Steal the Show

Fudd, a freshman standout, scored 26 points in the championship game against Team Takeover. Fudd had a tournament-high 35 points against Nike Pro Skills in the semifinals and led all scorers averaging 27 points a game for the tournament. The 5-foot-9 guard was arguably the best player in the gym this weekend and made her impact known from start to finish. While Fudd may have set the standard for a freshman this weekend, she wasn’t the only member of the class of 2021 to leave an impression. Philly Belles forward Amari Deberry has the size and athleticism to be a tough match-up at the prep level. While she has a ton of upside for the future, it was Deberry’s ability to play within herself and be effective and efficient this weekend that allowed her to make an impact with limited opportunities.
Carolina Flames wing Saniya Rivers is an explosive athlete who is dynamic off the bounce. She is comfortable scoring at all three levels and has the athleticism to excel playing with and without the ball.



Other Standout Freshman

- Aaliyah Moore (Cy-Fair Nike Elite)

- Brooke Demetre (Cal Stars)

- Dalayah Daniels (Tree of Hope)

- Jada Walker (Boo Williams)

- Ari Wiggins (Indy Gym Rats)

If given a chance to take one prep point guard nationally, All Ohio point guard Jordan Horston is the pick. While Horston’s 5-10 frame and tremendous length give her elite physical tools for the point guard position, it is her feel for the game and understanding of how to incorporate her teammates that make her special. She can score at all three levels, guard multiple positions defensively, and fill up a stat sheet with enough rebounds and assists to constantly be in contention for a triple-double.

While Haley Jones isn’t a point guard, she is a capable playmaker who’s versatility will allow her to dominate games in multiple areas. She is the prototype new generation forward who can handle the ball on the perimeter, pass to create offense for teammates, and score in a number of areas on the floor. Jones plays with high energy and has the potential to be an elite defender at the college level.

8. The Battle For No. 1

The battle at the top of the 2019 class is as murky as we have seen since 2013. There are a number of elite contenders, but as of today, it doesn’t appear that anyone is running away from the pack. At least not in the 50 states that comprise the United States. If we included Canada in our ELITE 100 rankings, Canadian forward Laticia Amihere would be the leader of the pack. She is a five-star prospect who will compete in multiple Olympics for the Canadian national team, but Amihere would have had the potential to compete for an Olympic spot with the US down the line.

Hailey Van Lith plays with ‘tude.

She’s as smooth as, well, Cashmere.

Couple more evaluations of Van Lith from last fall:

Hailey Van Lith-guard (Northwest Blazers Orange Gauntlet)

I guess mesmerized would be the word I would use as Van Lith has the handles to hypnotize defenders. Love the swag, that pull-up, mid to long is simply devastating as well as those “no looks” coming at you. Clearly one of the top guards in that loaded 2020 class nationally

2017 PBR Super 64 Tip Sheet


2020 Hailey Van Lith (Wenatchee, WA) - Northwest Blazers Orange -

She can flat out play! Definitely the real deal! Tough to find 5 point guards in this class better than her. She is creative off the dribble, creates separation to shott the midrange and 3 pointer off the bounce, uses a different speeds to keep the defenders off balances, runs the team like a savvy veteran, and has amazing court vision, strength and athleticism. Kid is a high level player. Special!

I’m sold on Hailey. I also want Haley the prior year.

W/ that nice lefty stroke and pull up mid range game, Hailey Van Lith reminds me just a little bit of Kelsey Plum.

27 points against Georgetown Prep ? really, it is a boys school

just shows you how good she is.........

More physical than Plum and Plum was fairly physical. Her and Bueckers in the backcourt would make for the mightiest pairing ever, probably.

Plum was plenty physical. She was a bit like a bowling ball when she was on the drive. Finished very well through contact.

Always quality over quantity but nothing wrong with a bit more quantity of quality too.........

Leilani Correa to West Virginia.

And to a new high school as well. Transferring to Manchester Township.

And to a new high school as well. Transferring to Manchester Township.

Manchester's going to have some team with Correa along with Destiny Adams one of the best players in the 2021 class, Dakota Adams and Kamari Reynolds among others......................as I've mentioned a few times already, Destiny should already be a top priority UConn recruit:

" Athletic faceup-4 with off-the-charts potential; rebounds, handles and finishes plays coast-to-coast; superior length, wingspan, defends all 5 positions on the floor; knocks down the jumper to the arc; rebounds, outlets, executes in transition game; stretch-4 game with guard skills. (Olson)
