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.

Not all freshman are finished products coming into college. Reese still has a ton to work on and she will need more coaching (shooting). Could see her Blooming by second year of college. She reminds me of a DiDi Richards of Baylor.

I agree 10000000%, I just don't see it.

I would say as far as her shooting form goes she seems somewhat awkward or to be a bit more charitable unorthodox...................frankly if she does everything else well and the ball goes in the basket half the time or more when she shoots I could live with it.................

Tif Hayes was somewhat unorthodox in her shot.

It's not just her shooting form though. You can be unorthodox when you play against much inferior players like in the clip above, but against fundamentally sound players, not sure you will be able to do those things with any degree of success. I have a feeling that if she comes to Uconn, we may have similar discussion about Reese as we did about Coombs last year.

Not a chance of that since Angel is a big time rebounder. Her potential is very high.
 
Reese can run, jump, and rebound with her go go gadget arms. She can post up, and be used as a play maker, she’s also a south paw, the only thing she can’t do that well at this point is shoot, but she still has time to improve.
 
I haven't really seen Reese's post game. Most clips show her driving and throwing up very strange shots, some she makes, some she misses badly. For me, she would be the biggest unknown if she commits to UConn. No idea what kind of player she would be.

Watching this, Kamilla still has a ton of work to do. I thought she would have dominated Bishop McNamara becuase they don't have a true post, but she seemed to struggle with their PFs.

Baring any major surprise the UCONN 2020 recruiting class will be completed from this list of players. I'm working on the 2021 list which is getting larger and will publish shortly.

Thanks, Coco, great info -

I noticed that 6' 4" Emily Bessoir from Germany did not make your list. Is she 2020? Is she a possibility, especially given Geno`s recent sojourns into eastern Europe?

Despite my prayers (I'm still at it) we have not been able to confirm that UCONN is recruiting Emily Bessoir or that Emily intends to play college ball in the US. She has been the #1 F on my wish list FOREVER!.
I would also be crushed if she ends up at Oregon with the Sabally sisters.

Has it been confirmed UConn is recruiting Cochran though? All signs point to the fact that she isn’t (no social media interactions, UConn not a recent finalist, etc), but I would be thrilled to hear that she is. I personally would take her over Reese in a heartbeat.

I don’t see that happening, just because Oregon already has a 3/4 2020 commit in Angela Dugalic who is similar to Bessoir. Although due to her close ties to the Sabally’s and Kelly’s recent success on the trail, I won’t count them out. I also heard he was waiting on Clark or Van Lith for his last scholarship.

She did say Stanford is her dream school, but it is crowded with 5* over there (Jones, Prechtel, Belibi, Brink, possibly Daniels).

I did notice the only coach she follows on IG is an Oregon State coach, but they are pretty full down low (Jones, Aquino, Brown, Morris, Mitrovic), but could be somewhere she can play the 3.

The "tentative" plan is for Brown to play 3 spot at Oregon St. I can't remember if that was the plan before or after Mitrovic signed. Brown will get eaten alive trying to defend on the perimeter. Emily might be able to pull it off though. Had not thought about Stanford for Bessoir and I definitely don't like what I'm thinking of that scenario.
