From the looks of the little sister's speed, shooting, passing and ball handling it just might be Geno would want to getta anotha! Like her attitude that she'll be the best.

I'm also impressed by her ability to cut to open spaces on the floor. Plus, there was one box out that was Charles Oakleyesque.

Okay let's just draw our bows just a little slower okay. She's just 15 and to my eyes she has a lot to work on. She doesn't actually appear particularly quick or athletic. I didn't see much of anything of her off the dribble, not one crossover or in/out dribble. Every drive was a straight line drive to the hoop. Now clearly she's a gunner when her feet are set. She'll need to work on her pull up. She does move well without the ball and she has good BB instincts, and she may have to move to the wing as she moves up in competition. But let's see what happens and how things shake out, when she's not the tallest girl on the floor. She's got a nice start on her career and having her sisters playing college ball here in the US is a major plus.

Sounds like a good D1 player description but not at the UConn level.

frankly it sounds somewhat similar to big sister's game....................got most of the package other then the consistent shot................that's the final piece of the puzzle to go from a solid college player to a big time star.............

Plus, she’ll be 6’3”+ (projected to be taller than both sisters), with a long range shot.

I haven't seen videos of any other recruits when they were this age, but consider this:
The video shows her age as 14 and her birth date as 17/12/2004 (in the international system that means she was born on December 17, 2004) so it appears this video was showing her playing in 2019 when she was 14. She doesn't turn 18 until the end of 2022, so maybe we should cut her some slack.

Think about what you stated. She is only 15. She has time to improve in the areas in which she needs to improve.

The article I read said she was projected to be the tallest of the 3 girls, and the oldest is 6’3”. To me, Anna looks taller than Kyra, so I’m not convinced she’s only 6’1” tall.

Yes, in sports basketball players are always taller and football linemen heavier in program book but in this case Anna is either at least an inch taller or everyone else an inch shorter.

Hey, as much as I think she deserves serious consideration by UConn, if you really want to derail that I will pass on her name to J R Payne at my other favorite team, Colorado, who is enjoying success at Colorado with a team of her recruits. In Sherrod she has already shown the foresight to grab the girl who may prove to be the best freshman point guard of the year from obscurity as well as two other excellent foreigners. Teams that can’t compete with established big college teams need to mine foreign fields just as Geno did when faced with a bleak U.S. recruiting class. Still, eight years of Makurats at UConn....one can dream.

I'm not sure, but I think that's pretty much what I said, although I was willing to delineate her weaknesses.

I am not sure this kind of film can actually show serious weaknesses. Not saying they might not be there. Besides weaknesses in talented players can be fixed. Paige, for example, doesn’t look like she could guard a chair. Well, a good chair.

I think chairs are getting a bad name. Some of those suckers can move;)
