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

Uncanny speed, hands, and awareness. Knows where everyone on the floor is at all times. And look at the foot movement and defensive position at the 51 second mark. Textbook.

But 5-6? She looks 4-10! :confused::D

She's listed at 5'4" on her HS roster. Another source listed her at 5'5" in the summer/fall. I want to see her next to Jas Lister.

She's in 9th grade, so she could grow. I think she's close to Crystal's height at this point. Jaelyn is extremely quick and shifty. She made 9 treys in one game this year.

She is fun, fun, fun!
 
At one time--not sure when--Jaelyn said she wanted to play at N.D. or UConn. She has strong interest from UConn currently. I think she could follow in the footsteps of our undersized but immensely talented PGs.

She is a target, but likely not a top-3. She seems likely to be ND, or possibly Stanford.

I got the impression in the last year that the recruits string along Uconn while trying to get commits to other colleges. If this is the case perhaps we need to put deadlines for when to go after seconday targets. Fot the life of me I don't see why we can't say the offers are good until they are all taken.

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

I think our chances of landing any of these players is less than 50-50 so we better be trying to find alternatives.

How did you come up with those percentages? Those sound rectally extracted.

Sounds good.
What time frame did you have in mind?
:eek:

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.

Very. I’ve seen high talent level at 14 yo, Nykesha Sales might be the best I’ve seen. But I don’t believe I’ve seen that level of fundamentals ingrained at that age, both offensive and defensive. She’s had a parent or youth coach that really knows their stuff.

Certainly before the last day before LOI day. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see our coaching staff came up a little "short" in last year's recruiting. It doesn't matter if you use linear regression or basic math to see we need to "grow" our recruiting approach.

I'm just trying to help you out here! Don't be so salty! When you said: "we need to put deadlines for when to go after seconday targets" i figured you need my help figuring that out because you seem to be confused + you said "we".
Let's just throw some dates on the wall see if any of them catch your fancy.
Early Signing period will be ~ Nov 14 of 2019.
Regular Signing Period will be ~April 17 of 2020.
Official visits for that class can start until the Tues after the FF which is April 9th.

I believe that together "we" can grow 'our" recruiting approach. Head bang

And Home Visits for this class (2020) can start in March, if memory holds, right?

You probably need an individual deadline for each recruit based upon their response to the recruiters' efforts. If the recruits are expanding their lists of schools of interest = red flag. We cannot afford another recruiting class of one. Actually I think now is the time to make some tough decisions.

I sure would be interested to see the reaction of this board if Angel Reese committed. I guess that is a sign that she is indeed a UConn recruit. Clearly the staff sees something in her that many here don’t. I won’t question them!

She is fun for sure. The intro page to the video says she's 5-6".

If Reese commits to UCONN I will definitely continue to question her recruitment until I see a major change in her effort and attitude especially the poor body language. I also believe there are many more skilled players in the class at that position (Sf/PF), like Daniels, Marshall, Ware, Edwards, & Bessoir.
 
Highlights of Anna Makurat. She reminds me a bit of D in her release and her passing. Would be a great addition

Highlights

Article in today’s Journal Inquierer about recruitment of Anna Makurat, 6 foot combo out of Poland. Also mentions Nika Muhl. Both could be of some serious help next season. Makurat currently plays with Rebecca Allen and Emma Cannon of the WNBA

the article says UConn currently has ten players as of now on next year's roster...............I count nine with BC and Griffin.............am I forgetting someone?

"The Huskies’ roster for 2019-20 currently stands at 10 with the graduations of Katie Lou Samuelson and Napheesa Collier and the addition of McDonald’s All-American recruit Aubrey Griffin from Ossining, New York."
