Ayanna Patterson to Uconn

[donalddoowop]

With a front court of AE, Ice and Ayanna, there will be very few rebounds available for the opposing team and if you add Azzi and Paige or Nika and Caroline Ducharme or Saylor and Paige, etc...5 headed monster on the court at all times...

You left out one player who I think will be, if nothing else, a strong rebounder by then, Piath Gabriel. The post practices will be special.

Nothing against AP, but would like to some bigger post players choose UConn...Need some balance with inside-outside game.

Huh??

I just watched some of her highlite videos. She looks bigger than 6'2". Is that right? Looks like she is physical enough to play the 4.

Great Pickup for Geno. A huge shock based on what many were saying before Ayanna committed. If I knew, that Tamika Williams was married to her HS Coach, I wouldn't have been surprised/shocked.

IMO Geno needs to get a Quick/Athletic Guard that plays defense and able to get to the rim to fill out the class.

KK Bransford? I have a feeling she’s one of the other commitments Geno was talking about.

She's an incredibly versatile small forward with power forward skills.

She’s skilled, but I see more of a power forward.

Ayanna Patterson dunks, has a great smile & braces, many say she's 6'3", & will be flying down the court with Paige next year. Dawn Staley will hate her when she gets dunked on. Bad for, you know.....

She won’t be flying for UConn next year. She’ll be playing for her HS team.

KiKi Rice out of Sidwell Friends in DC lists UConn on the schools she is considering and follows Saylor on Twitter. At 5’11”, Rice is Hoopgurlz 6th overall and #1 pg in 2022 class.

Oh mama. Between she and Brady, that high paint area in UConn’s offense is gonna be a gold mine. Just drilling those J’s.

 

[hoophuskee]

I think Ice is the 4 and Ayanna the 3.

I'd prefer to have 3 shooters surrounding her and overall have a quicker defense with a quicker transition to offense.

Damn glad to have her - regardless!

Not sure if this was already posted, but here is the projected UCONN Roster from this season thru 2024. It is broken down by Senior, junior, sophomore, freshman.

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

I was feeling pretty down - I had just watched the Husky men lose their game - and then I saw this thread! Wow! Talk about great news!

Welcome, Ayanna!

Brady can be your third shooter plus she can shoot 3s but won’t necessarily need to. And she has no problem running the floor. She’s a perfect trailer on the break and deadly from the foul line area.

Does Uconn have a single 'slow player' on the roster or coming in the next two years? I mean, the squad is pretty much all greyhounds masquarading as sled dogs!

Yes, and shot blocker.

Brady could be our 4th shooter giving AP even more room to operate. While the defense is still quicker and the team can transition faster to offense.
