2019 recruit Sam Brunelle...

[donalddoowop]

OK ......so I exaggerated a wee bit for effect!!!.......

I was remembering your post from a while back:

In the past week she has had these stat lines:

41 points, 22 rebounds, 6 blocks

52 points, 26 rebounds, 5 blocks

She's not getting those numbers against my daughter's NJ high school team.....although she might get close

Where is she playing ball at this time of year?

Those were stats from last season...........

Thank you, Charliebball.

Having watched her many times in AAU ball I can confidently declare that the rebound numbers are about quality of competition and teammates. She's just an ok rebounder. But the scoring skills are legit, and she can pass too.

UCONN will need her scoring ability to replace KLS who would have departed UCONN before she arrives. Worry about the rebounding later.

Kaleena replaced Maya. Lou replaced Kaleena. Sam will replace Lou. I like it!

A great comparison....let's hope this one decides to spend all four years in Ct...

I don't think Sam has a disabled sister at home--that needs her undivided attention.
When Sam makes her choice---it will be HER choice---.
If not UConn or JMU (not likely)--She could make UVa into something much greater--a building block if you will.

When presenting stats on a H>S> young lady--it is important as your last sentence suggests--that we remember --the competition and the size/talent she plays against. But the local footage of Sam's prowess seems to suggest she is the REAL DEAL--Question is how real???

She can't go to South Carolina. Nikki McCray is the coach that shrieks like she's being murdered during the games.

UVA would be nice. I'd love to see them back on the national scene - it's been a long time.

UVa with the new (Debbies successor) I thought did very well--as I said--if they could get a Sam type player--they could build (again) --
Frankly--I like UVa and their game--they win some games I thought they'd lose-and lost games I thought they'd win. It makes for an interesting fan sport. Much like the old time UConn Men--whom the press labeled the Cardiac Kids--Flying high one game- down below in the next.
From a selfish point of view---I'd like to see home and home's with Uconn vs UVa.

Sam is next in line to be a Uconn great!

She's been here twice unofficially already. She probably likes the shrieking!

 

[Shorty Dee]

I like what I see from Sam, and I hope to see her in a UConn's uniform.

 

[donalddoowop]

Sam is next in line to be a Uconn great!

I believe the next in line Uconn great is on this year's team and the next one on next season's team. There will probably be two to three Uconn greats by the time she would earn the title of a Uconn great; maybe four.

 

[Mdoggie]

Ok, next in a long line?

 

[donalddoowop]

Samuelson, Collier, Stevens, and Dangerfield. Williams, if she gets the chance to play her right position. They all have the ability to become All Americans, imo.

She was in Columbia last weekend for the USC/Tennessee game. Maybe this will be our next head-to-head recruiting matchup?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

1/11 update:

Geno scouted Brunelle tonight. She just returned from an ankle injury and had 26 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Brunelle leads Dragons past Falcons in front of UConn coach

Maybe she'll come to see the USC Uconn game at Gampel. That would be a good way to assist her to make her decision.

Unless South Carolina wins, then it's a bad way to assist her decision.

 

[oldude]

Interesting that Brenda was also at the game. I get the feeling, just like with Megan Walker, another VA kid is going to disappoint Brenda when it's all said and done.

They won't win.

 

[BroadwayVa]

She reminds me of -- dare I say it? -- youie know whoie.

Say it all ready!! Stop Stewing over the comment!
