April UConn recruiting thread

[Gus Mahler]

I like Kelis a lot, especially what I see in this clip. She reminds me a lot of KK in this video (maybe even a little more aggressive and a slightly better finisher). Also is it just me, or does it seem like she’s gotten a little taller?

Yes, she seems taller, and her lower body looks stronger.

6'6 Sydney "Bean" Douglas..

UConn needs the BEAN!!! 6'6" can score from anywhere on the court and runs the floor like a guard........would be a huge get.......

 

[RoadMaster]

Believe it or not, she's class of '28..
Recently saw Instagram from her dad. He says that he is tallest in family at 6'63/4.. He added, "But not for much longer "

Here is that post.. Family photo op..

ESPN updates their rankings and lists Strong as a UConn recruit.

Ziebell moved down from 4 to 7, Cheli moved up from 18 to 11.

Joyce Edwards dropped one spot (I can hear the howls from here).

Finally, a shooter who can back up Azzi. Can't wait to next year to see these freshmen, just like this past year. MHO, this group is even better.

Gandy has had only one AAU season that was before her in-season improvement. I’m hearing the improvement is pretty dramatic.

Here’s an article that gives her final stats - GSB Girl’s Basketball Closes Out Impressive 24-Win Season as Top 10 Team in New Jersey

@MilfordHusky posted in a different thread that on one recruiting site, she was listed in the 20's or maybe 30's. Pretty remarkable. BTW, it wasn't "Eric's recruiting page" that ranked her. It was something like ASGR or BS - a legit service. Ken - do you recall?

I've been following her progress this season by watching a number of her games online and she has certainly improved as the season advanced, but she is still very much a work in progress.........she's athletic and runs the floor well for a 6'5" post and has started to improve her footwork down low but hasn't shown much offensively other than layups.........I'm looking forward to seeing what continued work over the summer and next season will bring in terms of her skills development.......

This is a very nice read about GSB WBB (Gill St Bernard's, N.J.). Gandy Malou-Mamel is in the class of 2025. The second junior that
was mentioned, Ms. Sidney Quinn is the daughter of Gandy's surrogate parents in the USA. Ms. Quinn
is headed to NAVY (Patriot League) for Basketball and ?? Lacrosse. Their " mother" was a Division I player at Colgate U (Patriot League) 1994 - 1998.

Kelis 13th.

Certainly a more likely ranking than ESPN dropping her to 26th.
