2020/21 UConn Recruiting

[Charliebball]

Don't understand why people keep tripping over this. Hoopgurlz DOES NOT rank or grade a player until someone on the ESPN staff has actually seen them play live. The top 25 are the best players evaluated by ESPN, not the 25 best players in the country.

isn't it also possible that someone from ESPN had evaluated her but didn't find her worthy of a top 25 ranking? The gist of my statement is that Geno said he could care less about those rankings anyway, some are deserving and some are not..............

No. I checked they have not evaluated her yet. FYI they have not evaluated Saylor Poffenbarger or your personal favorite Destiny Adams yet either. They'll get to it.

Here at TOC watching St, John’s College play. Popular game - I had to park 4 blocks away at a Taco Bell since the grocery store lot 3 blocks away was totally full and double parked (1 PM Friday afternoon). On this particular court the spectators view from above on one side only. Can’t see the sideline right below us where the college coaches sit, so I can’t confirm if CD is still here today, or see who else is here.

St John’s leads 25-6 half way thru the 2nd period, but this is the loser’s bracket. Azzi is as advertised...

Bigby is ranked 14th, 15th, and 19th by Blue Star, Prospects Nation, and ASGR, fwiw.

Geez, Azzi has a rock star following. I mean it’s not like she’s local, or even from out West...

If you need something to do on a Friday night, here are the links to watch Paige Bueckers at 7 central. The live feeds will be up at gametime.

I'm not sure how much time I want to spend watching Fudd and Bueckers.......................I've got a pretty good idea what they can do.........................it's the players ranked a bit below them that are of more interest to me....................besides I spent too much time admiring H Jones which made it all the more disappointing when she went elsewhere........

They are well coached and talented. SJC has recruits going to Columbia, Wagner, and UNC. They also have Azzi.

Her handle is good, and her jump shot is one of the best ever.

That may be, but name the last recruit that had a significant success at UConn and wasn't ranked in the Top 10.

Azura Stevens - ESPN #23
Victoria Vivians _ ESPN #24
Brooke McCarty -ESPN #29
Myisha Hines Allen - ESPN #34
Monique Billings - ESPN # 38
Katelynn Flaherty - ESPN # 68

Let's not forget about Kelly Faris (in the 30's), Kiah Stokes (even lower), and Saniya Chong (about #70).

For that matter, I believe that Stef Dolson was around #30, and she was a four-year starter, the #5 overall draft pick after her senior year, and she nearly made it onto the Wall of Fame.

Nearly? Stef was a 2x All-American and has her #31 on the Wall of Honor.

Chris was supposed to leave for CA last night to join the team.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Hailey Van Lith scored 40 points Friday but Cashmere suffered a rare loss.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Bueckers scored 30 points Friday night in the game archived in the link above. She forced a bunch of shots early and was 5-14 from the field at one point. Then she went 9-11 to finish 14-25 overall, hitting a plethora of jumpers.

Wasn't really a Bueckers-esque performance yet she made all the shots that helped Hopkins pull away late.

Faris and Dolson no doubt, but Stokes and Chong were far from having "significant success" at UConn.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Taylor Bigby scored 16 points in a Centennial win at the Nike TOC Friday (12/21).

 

[HopJim]

Faris and Dolson no doubt, but Stokes and Chong were far from having "significant success" at UConn.

Would be happy to have players with Stokes or Chong's skills coming off bench this and next year.

Faris and Dolson no doubt, but Stokes and Chong were far from having "significant success" at UConn.

So your definition of significant success is that someone has to be a 4-year starter? Contributing significantly to Final Four or National Championship teams isn't enough? Getting drafted and actually playing in the WNBA isn't enough?

Where did I ever state that? Looks at their stats, Chong averaged 5pts and 2 assists per game. while playing at best average defense over her career. Stokes had a great senior season, but was incredibly inconsistent and put up very "meh" stats for the rest of her career, averaging just over 4pts and 5 rebounds/game in her first 3 seasons at UConn.

Wow, I don't think they lost a regular season game the previous 2 years, and advanced to the State Championship game both years.

It seems as if at least three top ranked teams with highly ranked players have already lost this season.
