You should watch more of Williams. IMO, there's no comparison at the HS level. McLean had no offensive fundamentals coming in, and still has limited. The presence in the '23 class of Shade and Arnold might keep Williams away from UConn but somebody is going to get a gem.

Thx for insight, BobbyJ. Only exposure to SW from posted clips, which prompted my comp query.

Love the player. Only concern is height. Seems game moving toward long wings at highest level. Realize Gabby was same 5’11” size & height isn’t everything. But being sub-6’ requires incredible athleticism, hunger, and/or instinct to flourish when ceding several inches to elite positional opponent on frontline, even SF.

Cheli hasn't committed anywhere. I see what you see, but there's either a technical glitch, or that is a post about someone else re-tweeted by Cheli.

OK. As you can tell I don't do twitter and that's all I saw. Actually makes more sense for a kid this good.

… Shane Laflin just said there is big interest in Adhel Tac, 6-5 sophomore from Texas, and that "talk" is she might be the best big in the class.
Via MaxPreps:
Adhel Tac, South Grand Prairie (Grand Prairie, Texas) 6-5 | Center | Uncommitted

HuskyNan— Is this the under-the-radar 2023 center recruit Daniel Connolly apparently discussed in his firewalled Substack piece link you just posted, #499? If not, who?

A Kelis Fisher tweet from this weekend. She's #1.

At the risk of appearing snarky, I have never seen a women's college basketball player dunk in a game. Would prefer to discuss offensive and defensive skills, upside and fit.

You haven't seen Fran Belibi dunk in a game? She did it during the NCAA Tournament this year. I've even seen her dunk in a high school game. Candace Parker dunked in a UConn game,,,

It's in the above--kept getting an error message, but finally was able to post.. If you check out at 35 second mark, you'll see Strong throwing down rather easily....

Except that's not a regulation basketball stanchion.

I'd say there's a fair chance Ms. Patterson may attempt a dunk this coming season..........I think Geno once said, if you're going to dunk you just better make it.......;)

Has she ever dunked in a hs or AAU game?

How do you know this? Her coach is standing under the rim, and it seems at the appropriate height above his head.
Expand ...

Her head nearly touches the net for one thing. She also only gets about a foot off the ground and dunks like it's nothing.

Every prospect that can dunk (Patterson, Watkins, Fournier) is big news. There haven't been an reports on Strong being able to do it.

Hello,
In the warmups before the USA 3X3 girls team / games in
Europe this past summer "Yanna" Patterson would dunk the
ball as the opposing team watched. You can view it on
line.. if you GOOGLE the FIBA videos for the entire tournament and
select the games that the USA plays in.
The USA team won in the Finals. The Team consisted of
KiKI Rice, Mikaylah (sp) Williams, Janiah Barker, and Ayanna
Patterson. They were all terrific! I encourage you to view
the game against Russia ( many blocks by Ms. Patterson, and the Finals
( Spain , I believe ).
There is even a video of Germany with the younger Sabally
lady on the German squad. Germany lost earlier. The French
were favored but..... that is how it goes. There was even
a dunking contest for the boys and for the girls. There
were " style" points involved and Yanna did not win.
So.... she dunks , and has done so on many occasions.
Take Care, Thus Spake Z

Vic Schaefer can flat-out coach & recruit; proved at Mississippi State. Knows Texas well from schooling (Texas A&M) & earlier job (Sam Houston State).

Texas sleeping athletic powerhouse school IMO. Beautiful campus/city, well-funded, in-state prestige, national academic acclaim (particularly among state schools). Always thought their major sports under-performed relative to these advantages.
Expand ...

Little did Vic know that by going to Texas that he would end up back in the SEC, but the massive revenue resources that UT has at its disposal are going to do nothing but increase dramatically. This is supposedly going to happen in 2025, but there are many who speculate it will happen sooner.
Coached a young man in summer AAU who now is an assistant AD at UT, and his account of fundraising there leaves me in awe of what they can accomplish. Unbelievable to me what their revenue share will be from the SEC compared to the Big 12.
