2020/21 UConn Recruiting

[Sluconn Husky]

Hopkins wins 70-38. Bueckers had 14 in the 1st half and not much in the 2nd as the officials whistled her 3 times and she sat the last 7 mins or so.

Bueckers ended up with 20 points on 9-13 shooting after an 0-3 start.

A 40/20 game?? Yikes! Double yikes!

She reminds me some of Ionesu. I'd take her in a heartbeat.

Hopkins plays again on Saturday. Here is their opponent's head coach prior to the game:


On top of the Royals being one of the best teams in the nation — Donarski also joked his team was ranked around 115 or 170 — but also has the top college recruit of the 2020 class in 5-foot-10 point guard Paige Bueckers.

“When we I say No. 1, she is everything she’s billed out to be,” Donarski said.

"She’s Diana Taurasi good, truthfully,” he continued of the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer. “Notre Dame and UConn are all over her, so she’s got the greatest programs in the country that want her."

Here's a little highlight video for Caitlin Clark.

if I'm not mistaken UConn was not listed as having interest in Clark in that recent story about her.....................it certainly can't be about her talent so I assume either they know she is going elsewhere or they are satisfied with their other choices......................she's going to be a force for somebody.

"Following up on these exchanges, here's an Iowa-based article on Ms. Clark that came out after this game:
"She’s undecided on where she’ll attend college, but when she does choose, she’ll have plenty of options: essentially every relevant school, with the exception of UConn, has offered her a scholarship. "

Looks like this young lady plays on a top 6 team in America and she just won National Player of the Week.

She has a lot of chatter from the Notre Dame board.

I'd say ND has the best odds based on geographic proximity and the fact it is an historically Catholic school

 

[CocoHusky]

She reminds me some of Ionesu. I'd take her in a heartbeat.

I was thinking Sue Bird in terms of her ability to manage a game and shoot the basketball. Many people forget that she was the starting PG for USA basketball U16 in the summer of 2017 and did not make the team to retain her position in 2018 due to a hand injury. In 2018 her starting PG spot then went to Azzi.

Aubrey Griffin was named athlete-of-the-week in her local paper for her performance last Tuesday (20 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists).

There is some video of her from that game at the link:

Azzi Fudd doing Azzi Fudd things today:

 

[DaBball]

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.

She was at today's game.

She's an intriguing player with what looks to be a varied skill set. Good to know that interest remains on both sides.

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.

I believe 2022 Shay Bollin was at today's game as well. Second visit in past few weeks.

I believe 2021 Shay Bollin was at today's game as well. Second visit in past few weeks.

Speaking of which, here is a local piece mentioning her from the other day.

*

One of the biggest pieces to the Trojans this year that was missing in 2018 postseason is the play of freshman Shay Bollin.

Her presence in the middle as well as her ability to knocked down shots from the outside makes B-R hard to defend. Bollin leads the Trojans in scoring, rebounds, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and block shots.

“Shay [Bollin] has made a huge difference,” said senior guard Kaleigh Matulonis, who is the second leading scorer at 8.9 points per game. “I think everything we built last year, she was our missing piece.”

Younger sister Kenzie Matulonis agreed with Kaleigh.

“It’s nice because she is such a versatile player,” Kenzie Matulonis said. “We can have her at any position on the floor and get her the ball. We have a big (center) now. We were pretty short last year so now we have someone over 6 feet.”
