Not sure I’ve seen her posted here before.

Brihanna Crittendon is a 6’2” rising Sophomore from Colorado. Followed by Coach Valley; follows Coach Valley, a few of the players and the team page. Arguably the #1 player in her class. Being heavily recruited by Pac 12 schools (as expected).

She’s participated at USA JNT Minicamp this weekend with some other POIs. Definitely one to keep an eye out on.

Three UConn POI here:

I was able to identify Zakiyah Franklin, Sarah Strong, Jazzy Davidson, Jerzy Robinson and Joyce Edwards.

Crittendon is a 2026, part of a stacked class with Vukosa, Green, Jackson, Cosgriff, Abbi, and Ragone among others.

cant wait to see what little birdies are tweeting to join genos nest

I love your post, but I’d use ”pups”, and “doghouse/kennel”, just because of the Husky mascot. South Carolina and Dawn Staley use the terms “birdies” and “nest”, because their mascot is a “gamecock”.

This young lady is a baller!! She is high on UCLA's radar. Pretty much any team out West is after this talented young lady.

So is South Carolina, and of course UConn is in on her hard.

Jocyte signed a 3-yr contract to play for Tony Parker’s team, Lyon ASVEL, in 2019 as a “youth league” player, which gives her the opportunity to still play college basketball in the US, if she so chooses. Jocyte would be an amazing addition to UConn. But the question has always been whether she would go directly to the pros.

She has US citizenship and would be free to cash in on NIL deals. That's the reason I give her coming to Storrs any shot. UConn has traditionally been a stepping stone to the WNBA, which is the ultimate goal for most, even Euros.

Allie Ziebel leads local affiliate's all-area basketball team.


Allie Ziebell, Jr., Neenah: 25.5 ppg., 8.6 rpg., 4.5 apg. 3-point shooting: 99-209 (47%); 15 points or more in every game. Committed to UConn. Honestly, Ziebell could score from anywhere, but she decided this season to concentrate on her all-around game and it worked. Ziebell was a willing passer and rebounder, and she was named to the FVA's all-defensive team.

This guy's worse than me at math. I get 47%.

 

[Boreifs]

What happens if we have more pocket commits than roster spots? I know that's unlikely, but in theory Aaliyah and Nika both have a COVID year available after next season, and Paige and Aubrey have both COVID and red shirt years. Potentially all 4 of them could leave at the end of 2024-25, which would also be Azzi, Caroline and Amari's senior year. I don't think we've ever lost 7 players at once (and I doubt it will happen), but it would be hard to get new recruits to commit if all those able decided to take advantage of full eligibility.

On the other hand, if we stay healthy we'd be a pretty amazing team for the next 2 years.

Because of NIL restrictions, it is doubtful that any foreign players will take the extra year. Paige and Aubrey, however, are very much in play, particularly after the decisions made this year.

Heh, you got the same thing he did.....

Fourty-seven percent is showing as 11%, but I have to say the board has been operating strangely all day and night.

I don’t get where the 11% comes from but apparently Allie shoots forty seven percent on threes! Nuff said!

Some sort of board glitch.

Something that pops out at me from that is all-defensive team! We know she can shoot, but this acknowledgement of her defense is very encouraging.

That’s a good thing. Allie probably won’t be accused of not being able to “guard a chair” once she gets to Storrs…..

Said the same thing.. Checked original article.. Here's a screenshot .. It did have it correctly printed..

Yes, along with the screwed up PMs. I got fourty-seven % too.

 

[asuwish]

What about Justy Jocyte?

She is a game changer. If she attended HS in the US she probably would be ranked #1. A bigger stronger Caitlyn Clark. I like Strong but he does need a true athletic big so he may be has a player oversees in mind. I also think there are two post players coming up that live in New York so keep an eye on them.

The only player from Europe to get a deal will make more money than anyone else and way more than playing professionally in europe

 

[Bald Husky]

I wonder if Geno encouraged Allie to work on her all around game. He knows she can shoot, but at UConn, you have to learn to do everything. I give this young girl credit for doing that, when she just as easily could have just gone on and continued with her current game. Definitely UConn material.
