the recruits in the next two classes have something in common.............they are all relentless on both ends of the court.......I highly doubt Geno will have any criticisms about effort......now if he could land Ms. Strong that would put some delicious icing on the UConn recruiting cake.....

 

[Charliebball]

IMO, Brady as a HS Jr. was a different player. Brady was every bit as good with her footwork, shooting, using both hands, and using her body. Strong is a good shooter, and probably a better ballhandler and passer. Both were/are very good rebounders. Defense was/is about equal. So very comparable but different.

They both offer something that UConn has been sorely missing..........big, space-eating bodies!

Nike Girls EYBL Session I Standouts – 17U​

24′ C Kate Koval – Exodus NYC EYBL / Long Island Lutheran (NY): Reliability continues to be strongly affiliated with Koval’s presence on the court. Last week at WPA Bruins Tipoff, she was a force in the halfcourt and in transition converting on a lot of quick-hitters. This week she featured her polished post-game flexing her footwork to re-position her defenders and create more space in traffic. If she wasn’t finishing at the rim, she was knocking them down at the FT line to the tune of 88.2% on 34 attempts..


24′ G Justice Carlton – Cy Fair Elite EYBL / Seven Lakes (TX): Flexibility continues to make Carlton one of the more productive players on the court. While consistently present on the defensive end picking off passes and blocking shots, the ball didn’t always fall for her. Behind a trio of 25-point games, she was able to prioritize rebounding efforts when the ball no longer found the bottom of the net. Her ability to help the team get through some rough patches and control momentum ignited numerous game-winning runs..


24′ F Toby Fournier – Kia Nurse Elite EYBL / Crestwood Secondary (CAN): High mobility and strong hand-eye coordination allowed Fournier to rely on quick post-ups throughout the weekend. She effectively sealed defenders when flashing into the paint and immediately elevated into layups through contact. Her agility on the defensive end was just as impactful cutting off driving angles off post-ups and forcing shots over the top of her long reach. Additionally, showed comfort switching onto smaller ball-handlers and stalling penetration from the perimeter..


25′ G Aaliyah Chavez – Cy Fair Elite EYBL / Lubbock Monterrey (TX): Defenses continue to struggle guarding Chavez out of the pick-and-roll. Her ability to knockdown 3s over the top of the screen or pull-up at the FT line create confusion and force defenders to commit early to taking one option away or the other. This high usage play for Cy Fair allows Chavez to operate as a reliable playmaker and opening up the floor for her teammates by pulling defensive resources away from other offensive areas. Her play carried her to a top-5 finish in points and assists per game..

Going back to Geno's mystery commit, it's interesting the events he and the coaches attended last weekend.

Geno, Morgan, and Jamelle were at events that included Justice Carlton as well as Ziebell.

I'm near certain they weren't at the event where Strong, Cambridge, and Edwards played.

Hmmmm.......

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Actually, I believe Chris Dailey might've been at that event with Strong, Edwards, and Cambridge....

Justice Carlton, 6-2, forward, 2024, CY Fair (Texas)

Carlton was a physical presence in the paint but showed she also needs to be respected from outside the key. She posted 16.5ppg on 41/75 from the field plus 7.0 rpg and 1.5 blocks per game.



Aaliyah Chavez, 5-9, guard, 2025, CY Fair (Texas) Co-most Outstanding Player

Chavez averaged 17.7 ppg on 46.9% from the field with 24/54 from behind the arc also ranking high in NIKE assist stats at 3.8 per game. These numbers remain special despite being hurt by a subpar title game where she shot 3/15 from the field.



Morgan Cheli, 6-2, guard, 2024, Cal Stars (Califormia)

By its recent 17 EYBL standards, Cal Stars had a down weekend finishing 2-3. However, the UConn commit showed a high level of poise and quality of production with 12.2 ppg shooting 50% from the field along with 5.6 rpg and 3.8 apg.



Toby Fournier, 6-2, forward, 2024, Kia Nurse Elite (Ontario, Canada) MVP

Fournier’s numbers were solid (12.7ppg on 32/55 from field with 8.2 rpg) but not the top of the chart. She generally came up big (including two dunks) when needed. Having seen her in high school as well, her teams seem to overachieve! Sometimes stats do not tell the whole story. However, her foul shooting (12/31) needs work.



Kateryna Koval, 6-4, center, 2024, Exodus NYC (New York)

Koval was another ‘big’ with solid numbers 17.0 ppg on 36/73 from the field plus 7.8 rpg.



Mackenly Randolph, 6-0, forward, 2024, Sports Academy Swish (California)

Randolph got off to a slow start but finished with four strong games posting 13.0 ppg on 44.3% from the field (5/14 for 3’s) and 8.8 rpg.

Oh Canada! Kia Nurse wins 2023 NIKE 17 EYBL at Boo Williams Invitational

This past weekend (April 21-23) at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton, Virginia, Kia Nurse Elite 17u became the first Canadian team to win the prestigious NIKE 17 EYBL (32 teams from all over the USA except the winner from Ontario, Canada). The Canadians swept the field with a 6-0 result. It was

She kinda reminds me of Ashten Prechtel before she got to Stanford

South Carolina just offered Vukosa.

Everyone has been offering Vukosa. She posted about 10-12 offers yesterday

She kinda reminds me of Ashten Prechtel before she got to Stanford

Prechtel is 6-5 and never could/can move, handle the ball, or pass like this kid. Prechtel was/is a post who can shoot stand still 3s. McGaughy is a pure wing with post up capabilities. Like a Haley Jones that can shoot.

 

[BobbyJ]

Everyone has been offering Vukosa. She posted about 10-12 offers yesterday

She’s really good. Not comparing the skill level yet obviously but I think Vukosa will be recruited at the level that Stewart was in HS, partly because of the lack of big, mobile kids in the next three classes. She’ll separate herself that much over the next couple of years.

Has either Fournier or Strong visited Storrs yet?
