They way our defense is going, will need all the offense we can get next year.

Dominique Darius and Olivia Miles..............one of the best high school back courts in the country....................these two work together so beautifully.....................come on Geno how about a package deal!!!!!!

 

[DaBball]

Leilani Kapinus released her top-15 and no UConn.

wow that's a shocker....................with the interest they have shown in her I would have thought UConn would have made that cut..................I hope it's because she knows something we don't............

Interesting list. Often seems like UCLA or USC end up mixed in with a bunch of schools back east for some recruits. Arizona getting in there is something new.

Leilani Kapinus released her top-15 and no UConn.

Interesting mix. Also no N.D.

3/9

Aaliyah Edwards: 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals


Edwards leading the break:

This is OT now, but Benson wiped the floor w/ Southridge in the Oregon 6A Championship just now, so no repeat state title for Cameron Brink. Not a good post season for any of the stars in the Northwest--Hailey Van Lith, Dalayah Daniels, Brink--zero combined Championships and only 1 of them even advanced to the title game.

Makes me really appreciate the players who won HS championships, including Sue, Tina, Maya, Kelly, Kaleena, Stewie, Megan, and Christyn.

Yeah, it might not have any bearing on their future career, but it's definitely a little edge for players that win Championships at every level they play at.

Paige and Azzi still have a chance.

My view is this list is relatively meaningless. With 15 names, its likely fluid and will change over time.

We won;t have room to bring in any more guards than two.

 

[UConnCat]

I'm confused. What interest has UConn shown this player Kapinus?

 

[Dokey]

In UConn's layest victory, a commentator said, after Molly drained a three, that Bent sits on UConn bench and would be a super star in many programs. So if UConn doesn't make top 15, she knows something.

"Leilani Kapinus, 5-10 guard from Wisconsin, debuts in the 2020 rankings at #9 and apparently has received some interest from UConn.

She has scholarship offers from numerous colleges, including Minnesota, Michigan State, Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, LSU, Indiana, Arizona State, Arizona, Ohio State and Louisville.

Nic Levy, her AAU coach with the Wisconsin Flight Elite, said Connecticut has called about her as well."

if I'm not mistaken I believe UConn coaches also watched her at an AAU tournament last year

So we're talking about a phone call sometime before September of last year.

A very rough shooting game for Nika Muhl even if she did not turn it over:
Statistika

Is Emily Bessoir a target? Her team won their first game in the playoffs. If they win their division, they will play in Germany's top division next season. Without knowing her living situation, that may be the best opportunity for her to play at that level for a year if she is not willing to change teams.

that and I think that they watched here play last summer.......................that's more confirmation then we get about many possible recruits.....................a shame really as her defensive skills and athleticism as a guard/wing would make her quite an asset for UConn...................I viewed her as a "gettable" option if Bueckers and Van Lith went elsewhere................a moot point now..............

3/10

Aaliyah Edwards with :01 on the shot clock to give Crestwood the lead late today:

 

[Sluconn Husky]

3/10

Aaliyah Edwards snared an offensive rebound and got fouled with 2 seconds left before splitting the free throws to win the Ontario championships for Crestwood 71-70. She had made two free throws to tie the game with 20 seconds left.

Entire game below. Stats later.

Besides Graduate Xfr's, would Geno consider any JUCO players to add depth for next year?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Seattle Times All-State girls first team:



F Dalayah Daniels, Garfield, 6-4, jr.


21 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks


Some consider Daniels the most talented all-around player in the state and she’s taken the Bulldogs to the state semifinals the past two seasons (they placed 2nd in 2018).


G Hailey Van Lith, Cashmere, 5-9, jr.


32 points, 8.1 rebounds, 4.6 steals


Ranked as high as a No. 3 national prospect, Van Lith has the ability to take over games (poured in 50 and 52 this season shooting 65-70%). Great leaper with excellent range.



Seattle Times All-State girls basketball team: Is there another level for Kentridge’s Jordyn Jenkins?
