Hopefully Kia can put in some great words for UConn, with Aaliyah Edwards playing on Kia’s team View attachment 42695

Wouldn't that be some sort of rules violation?

Shockingly, Edwards won MVP.

Cardoso with a great showing today, 10-10 FG and 1-1 3FG for 21 points.

Getting Gusters and Cardoso would be amazing.

Is it possible to put names under the players? Not everyone knows the faces of every player.

Edwards is on the left. She's pretty distinctive with the yellow and purple braids she wears in honor of Kobe Bryant (Lakers).

Is that the Louisville commit, Merissah Russell (?), on the right.

EDIT: @Sluconn Husky's post cleared it up

Pretty impressive stat lines from Reese. Cardosa and Reese mixed with ONO and I see NC in the future.

Reese had another big AAU tourney. She just gets things done.

Overall, Reese averaged 16.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists while shooting 57.4%. She was just 63.6% from the foul line but hit 11 of her last 13.

Her A/TO ratio was 1.7 and she had a Player Efficiency Rating of 26.4 which is LeBron James territory.

Seems like Reese puts up great numbers every time. Aren’t there people in BY who think she’s got a lot of development to go to be a UConn target. Please correct if I’m wrong but numbers look Really good

She hasn't impressed me the few times I've seen her on film. I keep wondering if her unorthodox game will excel at certain levels but not in college. That thought may be off.

I've noticed that she has a decent vertical jump. Yes she is a little unorthodox at 16/17 years old but she has a lot of raw skills. Mix that and athletic ability together and you have a canvas to work with.

Yes there are. Clearly Reese is getting there and putting up great numbers but keep in mind the MVP of the tournament was Aaliyah Edwards and Dalayah Daniels also played well. Both players are ahead of Reese in their development at this point IMO.

 

[Gus Mahler]

For anyone: How does Reese compare to Edwards?

Thanks, Coco, for your prompt response.

Reese has been to UConn, not sure about the other 2, I would put Reese down as most likely to head to UConn out of the 3.

Edwards played in a different division than Reese and all the players I've been stat-quoting.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Much easier for Reese to get there from Maryland. Hopefully, Edwards will make the trek soon.

 

[Charliebball]

I do hope UConn is watching "the next big thing" in NY area WBB.......

I didn't consider UCONN visits or likely to come in my evaluation because in the case of Edwards and Daniels we have no idea. I'm admittedly bias but here is how I would rank the players at the Forward position in this class.
1) Emily Bessior 2) Aaliyah Edwards 3) Natalija Marshall (ND) 4) Cameron Brink (Stanford) 5) Dalayah Daniels 6) Angel Reese. BTW Hannah Gusters can also play the forward position especially if Cardosa is manning the post next to her. Reese is a good very good player in a loaded class just like Hailey Van Lith is a outstanding player in a loaded class for PGs. Another example is Angela Duglic who just signed with Oregon who could easily be in the conversation for best forward in a loaded class.

Is UConn definitely recruiting Bessoir? I haven't seen anything directly related to the two expect that she is "UConn good." I think her dream school is Stanford, but it will be interesting. Also interesting, the only coach I could find that she follows back is Oregon State's Katie Faulkner.

Another Forward/Center I wish UConn would take a look at is Finland's Away Kuier. 6'5", extremely long, uber-athletic, can hit the 3, dunks.

I have no idea if UCONN is recruiting Bessoir but I hope they are. I'm also not sure if Bessoir is US college bound since she could be WNBA eligible at 20 by not attending a US college.
Kuier is an intriguing prospect who could be class of 2019. Her an Nika Muhl are apparently pals from basketball without borders because it was Nika who threw Awak the lob that she dunked to end the camp.
