Thanks - impressive footwork and versatility - especially for 6'4"!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I like the 3 ball! Simple form, quick release.

 

[UcMiami]

Obviously dwarfs most of her competition, but she seems to make quick and very good decisions on the low post, shows impressive body control to find the crease between three defenders and yes, appears to have nice form on her three ball.

 

[JordyG]

I also see she's got a little handle and pretty good footwork down low and on the block. She also finds her positions well before the shot and has a nice variety of shots. Okay, me likey. 6'4", stretches beyond the arc, nice feet, nice athleticism. She also has the body type to put on upper and lower body strength. Me likey more. 2018 huh?

Amazing, I hope Geno can see The BY and this thread.

I'm satisfied. Sign her up. I'm always a little suspicious of highlight reels but there are some undeniable things in this video. Danielle appears to fully coordinated, shows a very nice spin move in the low post, shoots with either hand, has a nice release on her jumper, gets to her spot and establishes position, has obvious range and is only a stones throw from Storrs!

6-4 and put the ball on the floor. Not bad at all.

 

[malevocalist#]

Now I see a lot of potential there.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Sachem East is Bria Hartley's old high school, right?

 

[arch]

shoots right or left handed

 

[huskeynut]

What's not to like?

Low post moves, shoots either left or right down low, 3 point shot, can handle the rock, shot blocking ability.

While watching the video, I saw a little bit of Big Mama Stef on the block. Very similar moves.

Sign her up now!!!!!!!

 

[EricLA]

Looks like a legit talent! Looking forward to seeing her recruitment and if we can land her!!

 

[CoachBill]

Fairfield fan - that would be a NO . Hartley went to North Babylon h.s.
same Skills trainer as Bria

Kristen Doherty ( former BC Wing ) is Sachem East alum

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nice shooting form, good use of the left hand, and--very importantly--great hair!

 

[chrissaran]

Lots to work with. The "potential" to be a larger version of Breanna. Even if she doesn't get any better, she'll be at the top of her class, and what's the chance that she's not going to get better? None.

Yeah, like Stef, she probably needs conditioning. But she has good size and skills for her age.

 

[Mdoggie]

Former HS coach here. I like! Just needs maturity (which will come) and refinement. Come on Huskies. Let her know you are watching/interested.

 

[BobbyJ]

Well Bill, looks like the only thing left to do is forward this video to the UConn office ASAP. I'd be surprised if they are recruiting any bigs with more potential than this kid.

 

[CoachBill]

Bobby J - currently... I definitely do not see one that they are

and is a top tier caliber kid ( character, student, personality , work ethic , maturity, etc )

Geno desires "basketball players" . Danielle as just a Soph, shows the foundation of that at 6'4"
( game & mind )

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Well Bill, looks like the only thing left to do is forward this video to the UConn office ASAP. I'd be surprised if they are recruiting any bigs with more potential than this kid.

They're recruiting Charli Collier from the same class who is rated #2 by ESPN, #3 by Blue Star, #5 by Prospects Nation, and was #1 by ASGR as of a year ago.

 

[CoachBill]

sluconn - Bingo ! #Turnover

of all the people on this board .... INexcusable for me to omit referencing Charli

 

[dtbtbtb]

Love the fundamentals of this kid. Can use either hand, got a handle for her hight, good shooting form from 3, great moves in the post, including a half hook. Nice! I hope Geno will look into her as she clearly got great potential!

 

[BobbyJ]

Bill, I just watched the two videos of Collier on your site and I know how difficult it is to get a good read from those on a kid's game. But from that small view, if the videos are from a similar timeframe I like Cosgrove more at this point. I saw with Cosgrove a better lateral mobility, a much better left hand, less mechanical movement, and a 3 point range that Collier doesn't have. I'm curious if Cosgrove gets the same national exposure that Collier does. Either way, they'll both be interesting to follow.
