LBI Event Recap: Boo Williams Invitational EYBL 17U (Hampton, VA)

Hampton, VA – Per usual, this weekend’s Boo Williams EYBL tournament was filled with some of the most amazing teams and individual talent in the country. All were giving their blood, sweat, and tears to catch the eye of at least one of the 100s of college coaches that were in attendance. Aside from

Does anyone know if any other European players are on uconn’s radar. Someone told me they are interested in a 6’5” Finnish post who also happens to be good friends with Makurat. First I’ve heard of it.

She is nice! Good court vision and a great passer.

And if you want a mixture of Edwards' abilities including guarding the point guard out front:

See, it's stuff such as this that explains why Sluconn was a unanimous selection to The Boneyard Hall of Fame. Thanks again for keeping all of us so well informed.

Jaelyn Bates highlights from the Heart of Texas Showdown held last weekend (4/26-4/29).

Within the first 2-3 minutes, Jaelyn was fouled 3x on shots and didn't get any calls. She does a great job of absorbing contact and still putting the ball in the hoop.

I think she shoots the 3 too.

 

[connboy77]

Hopefully she has interest in UCONN!

Bates is a good finisher also. I wish Geno would offer her.

Bates is a good finisher also. I wish Geno would offer her.

Umm, she is 15 and just finished her freshman year of high school. I think Geno has plenty of time.

She is 17. Born 2001 and has been on multiple Eurobasket teams / competitions.

Crossover is referring to Jaelyn Bates, not the lanky dunker from Finland.

Oh. Sorry. Too much action going on.

 

[Huskie02]

UConn just announced the signing of Evelyn Adebayo, a grad transfer from Murray State. Listed as a forward at 6’1”. Seems kind of small for a forward. Don’t know anything about her. Anyone in husky land ever hear of hear? If so, what’s the verdict. Things are moving rather quickly. I hope Geno isn’t sacrificing quality for quantity just to fill out roster spots.

At this point, he has the option to do that. He needs to fill out roster spots. Had he landed Horston, Jones, and Boston would he have taken Adebayo? Maybe, maybe not. She looks to be a good one too

Bob Corwin scouting report from Boo Williams:


Aaliyah Edwards, 6-2, forward, 2020, Kia Nurse Elite 17U EYBL Affiliate (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) MVP

A high-level Power 5 recruit with explosiveness, Edwards can create a shot inside the key or on the perimeter. She was one of the most talented players in the Smith Division if not the most. Edwards helped lead her team to the Smith title thus earning MVP status.

She plays for the Kia Nurse Elite team. I assume she knows who Kia Nurse is.

Maybe a little reminder is in order.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I assume she knows who Kia Nurse is.

Nurse knows who she is.

 

[Charliebball]

UConn certainly seems to be in a good recruiting position for Edwards with her affiliation with Kia Nurse's team.................she's a great example of a Canadian player that thrived in college and in international play.........

 

[ABCDFE]

Nurse knows who she is.

Thanks for the continued flow of game tape. Edwards has great potential, you can see how skills and athleticism and certainly should be on UCONN's radar.

Adebayo is only here for one year, so it's only taking up a spot for this year when we are short on bodies. She has quite a few double doubles and seems to be pretty physical so that would help a lot.
