sorry my mistake on her year............to the best of my knowledge UConn has offered at least two other point guards in the 2020 class both being highly recruited by others..................I would hope if they like her, LK would also be offered, that way the odds of getting at least one point guard would be greatly increased and if they were to get two that much the better as PB and Hailey Van Lith can handle either guard position...............

I'm not sure she ends up being a guard in college. She might end up being a wing and play some PF as well. Think Gabby Williams. BTW she is the best defender in the class able to guard and lock up positions 1-4. Still not sure of UCONN's interest in her but she is too good to be anyone's back up plan.

well if UConn has already made two other point guard offers and you know they truly covet Bueckers over anybody followed by Hailey Van Lith then she would technically be a third option at that position (she's listed as a pg) and there's no shame in that.................................from the limited video I have seen of her, I get the sense LK is not yet a great outside shooter so I'm not sure what her best position would be

Leilani Kapinus is not going to be PG in college. She is the best player on her team in both HS and AAU and the defacto primary ball handler, just like Gabby Williams was. "Technically" she is not going to be anyone's 3rd choice, at any position, on any sliding scale of shame. She is a very good outside shooter and getting better. Chris Hansen knows what he talking about & is projecting her to be a Wing/Guard in college. At the "Check Me Out Minneapolis" she defended Paige to a draw. I think @Sluconn Husky posted that video here.

OK...........any particular reason she couldn't play point guard in college or is her skill set just better suited at another position?...............nothing better then big guards at both ends of the floor............
 
James Madison Memorial star Leilani Kapinus makes late push up espnW HoopGurlz recruiting class rankings

Levy (AAU Coach) and Flowers (HS Coach) see Kapinus as a wing in college. But Kapinus prefers point guard because she likes to distribute the ball to her teammates.

Defense seems to come naturally to her, but her offense is developing quickly.

"She was the heart and soul of our team this year," Levy said. "She is a freakish rebounder, just rips them down. She plays wing for us, but when she gets a rebound, she goes. That's where she thrives."

she clearly in the Mikayla Coombs camp of full court aggressiveness and ball hawking.................as a matter of fact her videos highlight her defense/shot blocking just about as much as her offense................haven't seen a whole lot of outside shooting in her videos so I have to assume she doesn't favor the that part of her game.............

You know you are good when your Sophomore mixtape drops 1/2 way through your Sophomore season.
Here is a crazy though-Fudd wins the 2019 Naismith award.

There are going to be some really, really good matchups between St. John’s and Bishop McNamara.

McNamara has top-20 NC State signee Jakia Brown-Turner, the grossly underrated Mississippi State signee Aliyah Matharu, and top-20 2020 6-2 W Madison Scott.

Although Im sure some short sighted coach would use her as a PG, her skill set is MUCH better suited for the wing position. Of course if we are talking short sighted coach, then she is not playing at UCONN. See @DaBball post.

I think Candace Parker won 2 Naismith Awards in high school. Azzi could win at least that many.

12/27

Taylor Bigby scored 8 points in front of the UConn staff Thursday. Doubt she was needed much in the 60-pt victory.

Hailey Van Lith scored 31 points in a Cashmere rout.

Saylor Poffenbarger totaled 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals, and 4 blocks.

Jillian Hollingshead had 9 points and 9 rebounds.

Sasha Goforth scored 14 points on Thursday (12/27).

Dalayah Daniels had 13 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
 
12/28

Sasha Goforth with 20 points in a losing effort Friday.

Hailey Van Lith scored 26 points but Cashmere lost by 2 points.
 
Wow, Cashmere has lost twice this year. They didn't lose a single regular season game the previous 2 seasons IIRC. I looked it up, Mt. Spokane that they lost to earlier is a bigger school but it looks like La Salle is around the same level.

If Hailey doesn't like losing, I can recommend a good coach and program, namely, "the team that never loses."

Dalayah Daniels was held to 2 points on 1-6 from the field Saturday.

Saylor Poffenbarger had 14 points, 13 boards, 7 assists, and 4 blocks.

Jillian Hollingshead scored 18 points.
 
Sounds like Daniels isn't UConn good. You should leave her to a West Coast team.:rolleyes:
 
Did Daniels get a lot of rebounds? Uconn has plenty of shooters but can always use another strong rebounder and shot blocker.

With Lyday, Aujae Yoakum and Imani Harris leading the charge defensively, Benson held 6-foot-4 forward Dalayah Daniels to two points on 1-of-6 shooting. Daniels, a five-star recruit for the class of 2020, did have 10 rebounds and four blocks but was unable to get going offensively.

“We made sure we crowded her and we wanted her to feel our presence physically,” Knox said. “We tried to make sure it wasn’t easy for her. And she, like Tayler, neither one of them really got into a rhythm. I think the complementary pieces we had, at the end of the day, were better than their complementary pieces.”
 
12/28

Sasha Goforth scored 16 points in the second of two games played on Friday at the Sandra Meadows Classic.
 
After stopping Daniels, next Benson gets to face Cameron Brink and Southridge. It's a tournament going on in Portland. Benson and Southridge met in the 6A (highest classification I think) State Championship game in Oregon last year.
