2020/21 UConn Recruiting

[Charliebball]

Is Jones as good as either of the Ogwumike sisters were when they were seniors in high school? Stanford had both for at least two seasons and won no, nada NC. They also had two Samuelson sisters and and won no NC. By the time she gets to Stanford, UConn's players will be one season older and hitting on all cylinders. They will also have the help of two foreign bigs and a senior transfer. UConn will be fine. Remember, CW promised four NC. Don't you believe her?

she's a different kind of player, not sure how you could compare them...............Jones can play all five positions on the court and has great skills and a sharp basketball mind................she would have been a perfect fit for UConn, that's why her choice was so painful...........

I'm on the Jaelyn Bandwagon. That cute little kid is a cold-blooded killer.

Totally agree. Fun to watch her highlights

2020 Olivia Miles scored 28 points last Saturday (1/19) and 12 points last night (1/23) in Blair victories.

Well, since this thread is looking ahead at the distant distant future...I'll add that I noticed a video for the speculative #1 player from the c/o 2024, Jaloni Cambridge a guard from Tennessee.



Her older sister, I believe, plays for Vanderbilt and was a top 50-ish recruit in her own right.

How would she match up against Baylor or Miss St's 5's? Or is it 1-5 at the high school level? I remember reading how Stewart could play 1-5 before she arrived in Storrs but after seeing her defense in her first 2 years I doubt she could have guarded a lot of pg's. It seems that if a player can bring up the ball AND rebound we are told about their 1-5 skills.

I think she's only like 6'0"-6'1" so I think she'd have no chance against big posts at the college level but she certainly could play everywhere else.............I would assume she'll play wing at Stanford but I think they kind of play positionless basketball like UConn so who knows...........

she can score 40 points per game in every game of the season as long as she's not playing UConn.....

No one goes to Stanford and carries a big average. Check it out.

Chiney lit it up her Sr. year. It's a good point though. Wiggins was a fairly big scorer but I think about 21 or 22/game was her high point for a season.

I believe that Nneka set the Pac-12 career scoring record and then Chiney broke it. Then Kelsey Plum broke that record.

When Stanford had the O sisters, we had Magnificent Maya and Terrific Tina.

Stanford will do very well but how many players do they put into the WNBA? It probably has a lot to do with priorities.

I missed Azzi's game again McNamara, but I hope to catch her next week. St. Johns plays at St. Mary Rykien tonight and then plays a Philly team in a NYC tourney on Sunday. They play at home on Tuesday and at Paul VI on Thursday. They beat Paul VI (Owusu) by 20 recently. Looking forward to seeing Azzi, Malu, and their teammates.

In my defense I considered a big average to be 30+ season average. OTOH I don't know Hailey Van Lith's abilty to adjust to college ball.

Not really a very good defense considering only 10 players have ever averaged 30+ ppg over a season, since.....NCAA.

I agree anything close to 20ppg on a loaded team could be considered a high avg.

Nice article on Bueckers:


“Paige is special,” Cosgriff said after Hopkins routed Eden Prairie 91-61 with Bueckers scoring 27 points Jan. 15. “You can’t really coach the things she does on the court. She sees the floor so well, and she’s a natural. In addition to leading our team in scoring and assists, Paige is our best defensive player.”

...

Bueckers’ burning desire to be the best is no secret to either opponents or teammates. Many fans have commented about the big improvement she has made in her mid-range game since last season. The Eurosteps and floaters are other reliable weapons, and now she’s strong enough to finish every time she has an opportunity for an and-one.

“You’re never going to be perfect,” Bueckers said. “What I try to focus on is consistency.”


Seeing is believing on Lake courts as Paige Bueckers’ legend grows
