I like her game even more than Hailey Van Lith. Too bad that Uconn is not interested, may because she has stated " I think one of the most important things is, I want to play right away" and that is never a given at Uconn.

true but she's not going to play right away at Notre Dame either I would suspect.................of course if Bueckers chooses ND that might also have some impact on Clark's playing time

Caitlin Clark has been a subject of discussion on McGraw's Bench for quite some time and some of the points Charlie has brought up are mentioned (time and time again. ;))

(BTW, don't get too down on this respectful Irish poster putting this in the UConn section: I've always posted Clark news in the Non-UConn recruiting section because she does not appear to be on the Husky brainstrust's radar (at least for now).)
Expand ...

perhaps the poster assumed that UConn should be interested in a great talent like Clark.............unless she clearly stated she had no interest in UConn, they certainly should have communicated their interest a long time ago...........

Jaelyn Bates highlights from her games this week on 2/6 and 2/8.

Bates might actually have as pure a shot as Azzi Fudd, and can get it away quicker. Her skill level, IQ, and athleticism are all top shelf.

Just a pure shooter. It’s effortless with no wasted motion. Her head is always up and she sees everything. Like I’ve said previously, she’ll be the best PG coming out of HS her senior year.

Second half starting now. SJC leads 29-24.

Madison Scott for McNamara is a LONG 2020. She guards Fudd as well as anyone I’ve seen and she is 6’2”. Unfortunately for McNamara, Azzi took advantage of her sitting on the bench with a tweaked ankle.
Expand ...

SJC won at home by 64-58. Azzi’s team is #2 in the country. McNamara was # 4 nationally before the loss. A big-time match-up.

Maybe not in her year. Suspect this could be one of the classes that relies on Frosh.

I'd be pretty surprised if there's a better prospect at any position in that class.

That article about Clark having not been offered by UConn was from last July. Just saying...

You may be right. I of course haven't seen most of the kids in that class but for impact on a game it would be tough to top a dominant PG. And I love the attitude. No Hollywood act at all, all business.
 
The aforementioned freshman Shay Bollin:


Freshman jitters?

There have been absolutely none of those for Bollin, who leads B-R in numerous categories, including scoring (17.1 points per game), rebounds (8.3), shooting percentage (47), 3-point shooting (38 percent), 3-pointers made (40), blocked shots (43) and minutes played (365) in addition to being second with 54 steals.

...

Her high school career began with plenty of hype, and Bollin has delivered only months after graduating from middle school.

“What immediately struck me was here’s a girl with a lot of talent, but it was the way she interacted and integrated herself into this team seamlessly,″ said Seavey. “She doesn’t set herself above anyone else. She’s very humble. She has a tremendous work ethic.

“She’s definitely a rare breed in every aspect, not just emotionally but physically as well. Usually when you get a young lady who is 6-foot-2, it takes time to develop into their body. What you see with Shay is somebody who’s physically mature and emotionally mature as well to be able to handle the pressure of being focused on by the opposition, by being actively recruited by so many collegiate programs.

“She just handles it all with a very calm presence.″

...

Bollin has already begun weighing her options for college, even with three-plus years of high school remaining.

The perennial top 25 programs have shown interest in her, and Bollin has made some visits to get an early look, but she’s in no rush to make a pick just yet.

“I’m really big on relationships right now and kind of just talking to the different coaches, seeing the different programs,″ said Bollin. “I’m not going to make my decision (now). I’m keeping an open mind kind of for a while now and we’ll just see how it goes throughout the process. I’m enjoying it.

I not sure UCONN in not interested. It is not impossible for her to play right away at UCONN. Crystal Dangerfield will have graduated leaving Coombs and C. Williams as the only guards on the team.

I believe that's three confirmed players of interest from 2022:

Jaelyn Bates

Shay Bollin

Jennah Isai

So, Sluconn, who would you estimate are UConn's top three targets from the 2020 class and top three from the class of 2021? Others should feel free to voice an opinion...like I could stop you :).

2020: Paige Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith, & Hannah Gusters
2021: Azzi Fudd, Amari DeBerry & TBD :D
 
Angel Reese scored 20 points on Friday (2/8).

Her game today is being streamed live and is just starting the 2nd quarter. You can pull the bar back on the stream and watch from the beginning too. Reese is #10 in gray.

I'll try to be kind here but I'm not seeing UCONN recruit caliber play from Reese in this game. In fact I'm seeing more red flags such as like extended disengagement and HORRIBLE body language. On defense her hands spend more time below her waist than actually above her waist and the only time her hands go above her head is to get a rebound.
 
DaBball said:
She is a target, but likely not a top-3. She seems likely to be ND, or possibly Stanford.

The three players I mentioned Paige Bueckers, Hailey Van Lith, & Hannah Gusters all have UCONN offers.

Lot of fun watching her highlights. TY

A new 10-minute package of Jaelyn Bates from last summer's US Open Championship tournament. Highly recommended.

I'm definitely on the JBates Bandwagon. She is an ankle-breaker, press-breaker, dead-eye shooter from anywhere who also plays defense. She reminds me of both Moriah and Crystal. She's VERY advanced for her age.

Jefferson is the player that came to my mind too. Not exact replicas, but plenty of similarities.
 
I wonder what the chances are that Bates would pick uconn if Bueckers picks Uconn, both players will more than likely end up being the top point guard in both their classes, and are only 2 years apart.
