2022 Carleigh Wenzel ( #22 in Red) from the Texas tourney that got Jasmine Lister's attention:


 
This is what Prospects Nation wrote about Lauren Betts ('22) after the Nike TOC last December:


It’s a tough thing when you are celebrated player at a young age. Coming into the Nike TOC this year the most talked about new name was Grandview High School’s (Aurora, Colo.) freshman post Lauren Betts. The 6-foot-8 interior prospect was a force in the paint. For a player of her size her agility and coordination was impressive.

Betts aggressiveness on both ends of the court was impressive. She intimidated most of the guards from Archbishop Mitty from even attempting a shot in the lane. Her work in the high-low as well as on the offensive glass along with the defensive impact were huge in securing the 62-58 win over Mitty.

More scouting reports on Carleigh Wenzel ('22):


Carleigh Wenzel-5’10 guard-since I started writing and although I’ve watched the game change, one thing will always remain constant and that’s colleges love big guards that can shoot and Wenzel just left me speechless simply because she creates her own shot, under pressure, and nails it with a variety of options including the step back and a nice hesitation move plus her range is unlimited and it was simply target practice

Queen of the South 2018 - Bluestar Media

DALLAS, TX – A lot happened in Texas last weekend and Blue star Media was fortunate to be on hand for the Queen of the South Event just outside of Dallas. While it’s always easy to be excited about good basketball and talented prospects it’s also imperative that we keep in mind the students...

Yikes! If she grows any more in the next 3 years, she may be unstoppable around the basket.
 
If you are following the U16 thread you'll notice nearly all of the new names linked to UConn are impressing. One of them is 2022 PG Londynn Jones. She's a small lefty that is tenacious on defense and has a big basketball IQ.


Here is some video of Jones displaying her skills from over a year ago:

In just one year, the fates allowing, Bueckers will be scrimmaging and Geno will be smiling. I'd bet they could scrimmage in Gampel and get 500 a day willing to pay to watch. I'd pay. :)

here's an old quote from when she announced her pick:

Bueckers said she's not afraid of lofty expectations.

"I love what they do. It looks like so much fun," she said. "I know there's pressure when you have UConn across your chest, but I love pressure. I love when the rival fans hate you -- that makes the game more fun and entertaining".

I read posts worried that this or that player was a big miss. What they miss is that UConn won the biggest prize since Stewart. Best guard prospect since ..... ??? Ask me next May. In the meantime just enjoy the ride.

Are there more than 2 or 3 2020 recruits we know of? If so who?

If by recruits you mean targets, yes.

Angel Reese, 6-2 F
Kamilla Cardoso , 6-6 C
Aaliyah Edwards, 6-3 F
Dalayah Daniels, 6-3 F
Mir McLean, 5-11 W
Olivia Cochran, perhaps, 6-3 F
Awak Kuier, 6-5 F

I'm not including Hailey Van Lith here because I think that's probably not going to happen.

Didn't realize Cochran is 6-3. Auriemma's got to go get her.

You know what, she's probably not. PN has her at 6-3 and ESPN at 6-1. While watching her at the 3X3 I figured closer to 6-1. Either way, she's very good.

Yes, I was surprised at that but man she's got a motor.
 
AZGR Desert Invitational: Top Forwards


Lauren Betts 6’7 2022 C (CO Premier EYBL 17u)

Lauren Betts looked like the best college prospect of the entire tournament, due to her size and skill. She stands at 6’7 and has the skill to match. She moves up and down the court easily and turns away a lot of shots on defense. Her games drew in a lot of college coaches to watch her.

What’s surprising to me is she is not ranked by ESPN

You mean listed on the watch list since they haven't ranked '22s yet. We'll see where everyone is in a year. I think she may be a bit more on the unknown side being in New Mexico.

Reese continues to impress, she’s going to make some school happy. I think she will pass Brink and maybe challenge Paige for top player in class in the next few years with the right coaching staff to develop her game, there’s not a lot of 6’3 players with her skill set in the women’s game.

She already passed Brink in the rankings. Olson is extremely high on Reese. I personally think she and Brink are a tossup, both have unique skillsets and are special athletes for their size.

I don't see what people see in Reese as a basketball player. Sure, she seems like a very good athlete, but as a basketball player, she seems so raw.
