12/29

Taylor Bigby's Centennial won the Vegas Classic Saturday after winning twice. Bigby was co-MVP and had 15 points and 11 rebounds in the title game.
 
Not certain if UConn really is in on Brooke Demetre of Mater Dei, but it sounds as though she's a UConn type player. This is what Prospects Nation says about her after the Nike TOC:


Sophomore Brooke Demetre of Mater Dei High School (Calif.) has a unique and versatile game. Where the forward position is quickly becoming outside-centric offensively, the 6-2 Demetre is a throwback to the inside-out player that is hard to match up with. She can spot up in the corners, come off a pin down screen or post up and score. She is a creative coach’s dream with all the ways she can make players.

she's been a well regarded player for a couple of years now............I can't remember if UConn has watched her in person. I would certainly hope they have...........

If CD was at the Phoenix TOC last Thursday, as @UConnCat indicated, then she certainly had the opportunity to see Demetre. Matre Dei played in the same division as St. Johns College (Azzi Fudd), so they would have been playing right there in the same gym.

Did Daniels get a lot of rebounds? Uconn has plenty of shooters but can always use another strong rebounder and shot blocker.

Thoughts of more traditional centers such as Tina Charles and Stephanie Dolson always put smiles on my face. I always wonder what a down low threat would do for shooters like KLS or Williams in future. We all know that having a strong defensive presence like Stewie in the middle makes the court smaller for other defenders.

We've been able to get 2 great, great players out of Mater Dei. I know Brooke has an offer to Stanford, but I still want her.

From what I've gathered Daniels isn't a traditional center in that mode, she's more a hybrid and almost a wing even.

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.”

Benson was not able to slow down Brink the way they did Daniels. Brink had 33 points on 10-14 shooting and 13-14 from the FT line, leading Southridge to a narrow win in the championship game of the tournament.

I don't see a box score for Daniels' stats, but Garfield got thumped by La Jolla Country Day from California in their finale from this tournament.
 
La Jolla Country day also took Southridge into OT. They are led by another really good 2020 PG TeHina Pao Pao. At 5-10, she is also her teams tallest player according to MaxPreps.

Daniels didn’t not play vs. La Jolla Country Day.

Wow. Injured? I did a little looking on google earlier this morning and found info about this tournament fairly lacking. Quite a few teams were there, 2 brackets. Not only was Garfield down there, but so was Kentridge (JaQuaya Miller and Jordyn Jenkins).

La Jolla Country Day is Kelsey Plum's school isn't it?

Most, if not all, of the games were streamed live via twitter. I skimmed through a little of the Garfield - La Jolla Country Day (Yes, Plum’s alma mater) game and Daniels was never in, nor did I see her on the bench at all.

Kentridge (JaQuaya Miller and Jordyn Jenkins), West Linn (Aaronette Vonleh), La Jolla Country Day (Te-Hina PaoPao), Southridge (Cameron Brink), and Garfield (Dalayah Daniels) were all in attendance so a lot of the bigger PNW prospects with the exception of Van Lith were playing there.

Praised by Kelsey Plum, 14-year-old recruit Te-Hina Paopao ready to star at La Jolla Country Day

Plum had a lot of praise for Paopao, who has seemed to have fallen off the radar a little.

she has a beautiful, repeatable shooting motion and that's what counts.............Geno and company clearly were impressed with her game otherwise they wouldn't have offered and offered early to boot.........

Quite honestly it’s hard to believe she misses a shot when you watch her highlights. Everything about it is perfect. It’s just something of beauty.

Oh, I really want Hailey Van Lith. I know the level of competition for Cashmere isn't all that great, but she plays well for Team USA and has both skills and attitude. Geno could make her great. She's a gym rat, like Paige.

Not that it means anything but Hailey Van Lith's USABB shooting stats is not very good.

if I remember correctly CW didn't shoot particularly well statistically at many USABB events either...........it's a different environment and shouldn't be counted against them.........

Why do you care? Get her to Storrs and be done with this conversation!

I have not been all that impressed by Daniels in the tape I have seen on her. IMHO, there are a half dozen better post players in the 2020 class.

I'm not sure there are a half dozen really good post players in the 2020 class.....................I don't know much about Daniels but I don't think she really is going to be a post.....................more of a fairly mobile four

Daniels is not going to be a post players in college. Wing and stretch 4 is where she'll excel. She is a very good perimeter defender adequate handles and a consistent 3 ball shooter. She also a very instinctive & constant mover with and without the basketball. We'll need to find out more about her injury at TOC.
 
Are Azzi Fudd and Amari DeBerry the only two 2021 recruits that have been offered so far. We may will not offer any more until we see how 2020 class turns out. What is so bad about contingency offers as long as both parties understand it?

For UCONN just about everything is wrong with a contingency offer because of the stature the program has attained. For the players that decided to come to UCONN you are going to have to compete with some extraordinary AA caliber players to get time on the court. A player that is accepting of a contingency offer/situation is essentially making this concession: "I'm not really the player UCONN wanted in the first place". Simply put a player that is willing to make this seemingly small concession will likely not do well in an intense daily competitive environment of UCONN WBB. This is why the UCONN staff is so deliberate and selective about making offers to only those players that are willing to compete, are interested in the challenge, and can contribute to the continued success of the program.
