ucbart - Nicole Kaczmarski played at Sachem North

Incredible talent for a female player (esp. back then ).
comfortably had lift off ground for jumpshots like a guy. made body control, acrobatic finishes like a guy. pullup jumpshots from every spot within 22 feet whenever she wanted

flat out SHAME a foot injury & personal turmoil derailed what could have been one of the great WBB careers.
beautiful girl & very sweet. great with kids

Saw the documentary on her career, and thought she was an incredible talent. She had been a teammate of Sue Bird, but transferred. Wasn't recruited by UConn, however. Wonder why....

I don't know. There are a lot of empty seats in this picture!

Yeah, but around Christmas these are OOC games and the crowds are always bigger once conference games start. Plus the lower level of the YUM holds 11,000 so even with around 8,000 - 9,000 there are still some empty seats. We're still growing and I think the crowds will too.

BTW, this was in the paper this morning:

With his Louisville women's basketball team assigned a 2:30 p.m. Friday tip off time, Jeff Walz has this week taken on the roles of both coach and marketer. His pitch is an easy sell. Walz wants to get U of L fans out of the office early for the weekend, asking downtown businesses to let their employees take a half-day and attend the Cardinals' first-round NCAA tournament game at the KFC Yum! Center. And if they don't? One fan reached out to Walz on Twitter, saying, "Write me up a good excuse to leave work. I know I need to be there. The boss is the issue." Walz's response: Send me his or her email address. The coach followed through, as that fan later posted a photo of Walz's letter to "Rick" at Bluegrass Cellular. "One of our most loyal fans ... is one of your employees and is scheduled to work on Friday," the note reads. "I know you have a business to run but would it be possible for her to go out of office and promote Bluegrass Cellular at the Yum! Center Friday afternoon? "Hope you will consider and have a great day!" Walz hopes for a full lower bowl of about 10,000 fans at the KFC Yum! Center when third-seeded U of L meets No. 14 Central Arkansas, the Southland Conference champion. "Whoever sends me a note on Twitter or on Facebook – if they give me their boss' email – I'm writing them a note asking if they can make the ballgame," he said.
Gotta love that.

Imagine what Walz could have done with Russell. I wonder if she regrets her decision to go to TN instead of L'ville...

You know we used to think the same thing. Anymore I'm not sure. Was she overrated? Has she been under coached? I don't know. We probably never will.

So, are you saying Jeff Walz is the Jim Harbaugh of WCBB?

The one part of the story I probably shouldn't have left out is that this particular basketball playing daughter (I have two) is physically challenged and was in a wheelchair when she met the coach.he really seems like a very nice guy

Yes, you did leave out a an important part of the story. Thanks for sharing.

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?

To her he'd sing
If you like-a me, like I like-a you and we like-a both the same
I like-a say this very day, I like-a change your name.
'Cause I love-a you and lov-a you true and if you-a love-a me
One live as two, two live as one
Under the bamboo tree

More like Steph 2.0 IMO. I really like the way she wants/ask for the rock! Beast potential for sure!

My read, too, but actually more advanced at this stage than Stef, offensively. Loves to move around in the paint and accept body contact. What we don't see--because of the competition and their own game plan--is how well she defends (she seems just a tad slow in reflexes or perhaps decision making) and how well she passes: that's what really made Stef so valuable (though we're comparing her to a Stef that was several years older and with a couple of UConn coaching years behind her). Stef also has the world's biggest heart and that's really her greatest asset. She's kind of the Bill Russell of the women's game. But yes, very, very impressive at this stage.

Let's pump the brakes just a little on any comparisons of Danielle Cosgrove to Big Mama or Stewie.
In those videos did anyone see Danielle playing against anyone close to her size/skill?

Did anyone see Stewart play against anyone her size / skill last year ?


granted Cosgrove was not playing against great competition , however she still demonstrated good athletic ability and skills

Cosgrove camped at SC over the weekend for Dawn's ELITE camp. She was offered on the spot so she's probably going to be a good prospect. She's currently a 3 star on ESPN's hoopgurlz, but it's far too early to really take 2018 class rankings into consideration.

As far as I know, her only other big D1 offers are Michigan, MSU, Colorado and now SC..

Is UCONN looking at her? I hope not! :rolleyes:

If that's the case, we'll be going head to head for a few 2018 post players. :eek:

Precisely the point. At a comparable age to Danielle Cosgrove Stewie was demonstrating World class (pick your own adjective) skill against older, bigger, players for USA basketball.

Let's compare notes for a second. These are the 2018 Post Players that UCONN has been linked to or have expressed interest in UCONN.
Charli Collier
Danielle Cosgrove
Sedona Prince
Lindsey Jarosinski
Olivia Owens
Bexley Wallace
Olivia Nelson-Ododa
Where do you think there is overlap?

The Boneyard has given her a UCONN ranking. The rest is mere paper work.

I know for sure Cosgrove and Jarosinski have SC offers. We were looking at Prince for quite a while but interest faded on either side, not sure if we're still pursuing her.. I'm aware she has narrowed down to a top 10 so perhaps not. SC has also been in contact with Collier and most recently Nelson-Ododa, not sure if either have official offers but I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't think we're expecting to bring in any 2017 post players so it seems like we're hitting 2018 and 2019 pretty hard. SC will have ample roster space at F/C in the coming years.

I WANT THEM ALL. If you think that's greed listen to this. I WANT ALL OF THE BEST FROM 2019 TOO. Is that so wrong?

I hope you guys get at least two of these young ladies. If The UConn doesn't win next year I hope Dawn takes it. WBB needs a real rivalry. Now. The amount of great fans you guys bring to the table along with a good rivalry with the Husky's could really boost WBB's cache.
