SLUConn posted the first tweet on August 7 in the 2021 recruiting thread.  But it’s worth repeating.  I saw Azzi play at SJC last year and will go back this year.

How good is Azzi?  Some things to consider:

She’s 15 years old and a rising sophomore.

As a freshman, she led her HS team to a top-10 national ranking.  The only 2 teams they lost to were other top-10 teams.

She was the Washington Post Metro Player of the Year.

She started for the dominant USA U-17 team, playing up by 2 years.

She beat all the teenage boys in 3-point shooting at Steph Curry’s camp.

She’s on the short list of best high school players in the nation, regardless of age.

She has her mother’s shooting form.  Check out Katie Smyrka-Duffy.  She was a bonafide  star.

Geno though she could have played at UConn last year.

As Geno and Doug Bruno discuss, it’s called BASKET-ball.  No one puts the ball in the basket better than Azzi.

Azzi doesn’t have Lou’s height or Maya’s explosiveness, but her offensive game is like a combo of Lou, Maya, and Kaleena.  Her shooting is at the KML level.
