Caroline Ducharme (Caroline Ducharme) Video

Is there anything Caroline didn't do? Very Impressive. She could easily be a point forward. Looking forward to seeing her play.

 

[HopJim]

Wow! Had seen few videos of her but appeared she could play any position. Unlimited 3-point range with some of the best passing skills I have seen at the HS level. Loved her defense and rebounding skills as well.

With Saylor and Caroline Ducharme out there at the same time, the biggest beneficiary will be Olivia.

Killer!!!!

The women has range....

 

[HuskyFan1125]

That range though......

She had a couple of driving layups that could have given her the ole “and 1”

Also of note—it’s easy to see why these girls dominate in high school. She looks so much taller than everyone on the floor and she is 5’11 +/- an inch depending on your source.

Much of what is said here about this young lady is true, although some posts are a little too wide eyed. But folks, look at this kids body. Thick legs, broad shoulders. When she fills out she's going to be a beast. She can play multiple positions on the floor. She's perfect for playing the hi/lo game with Ice and Piath. Nice get Geno.

I believe that is is now 6'2", it was noted awhile back that she had a growth spurt last Summer.

I’ll be the first to admit, I’m wide eyed over this recruit. I just like what I see regarding motor and toughness!!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

What impresses me the most about her is she can't be rushed and she is unflappable. OBTW @HuskyFan1125 those sources on height are out of date; she's 6'2".

Check out this video; really gives you a look at her game too.

Trying to be objective, I looked hard in the video for leaping, and never clearly saw her feet getting more than about 6 inches off the ground. Her long arms do compensate for that to a degree, but I think she will have a hard time rebounding (or getting a good shot off in the paint) against good college competition.

I also didn't see a lot of quickness. Between quickness and leaping, if she and Aubrey Griffin were guarding each other at both ends of the court, who do you think would score, rebound, and block shots more effectively? And Griffin is not such a highly rated recruit.

SO hard to tell how a player will do at the next level in Geno's pressure cooker. I really like what I see though: the footwork (saw a little euro-step action in there), the finishing and the range. I like that she plays with confidence and some fire (even shot some ish at the refs a few times). Speed/quickness may be a downside(?)

First time I've seen her. Does she project as more of a shooting guard or stretch post? Very excited to see her in D-1.

I see her more in line with KLS, first shooting guard then moving onto a 3 position once she gets up to the UConn ways and standards.

I don't know if it is just me but when I watch this player in videos she reminds me of Nicole Wolff before her injuries.

I don't strongly disagree with you. I mentioned the speed/quickness in my previous post also. BUT I also see a lot to be intrigued by. I was trying to come up with a comparison to another player and I think she reminds me of (hold on to your lunches) Marina Mabrey. If Caroline achieves Marina's level of success, we done good. She would AT MINIMUM be a significant role player. ON EDIT: Hopefully without the whining and flopping.

Asked at the time of her commitment what Husky she admired: "It’s so hard. They’re so above anything I think of myself, but I think more recently, I loved the way Katie Lou Samuelson played. I wouldn’t say I model my game after her, but I definitely watched her a lot. Diana Taurasi has always been one of my favorites."

Why Noble & Greenough’s Caroline Ducharme committed to UConn for 2021 - The Boston Globe

Junior guard from Milton, the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year, averaged 24.8 points, 14 rebounds and 6.0 assists at Nobles.

I'm on board... just cautious. She looks great.

 

[psconn]

Just watched more of this. Best thing I saw? At 5:25 she gets the MVP award - quick handshake, back to her seat, award gets stuffed under her chair. Couple seconds later she and the other captains accept the championship trophy only then does she really celebrate enthusiastically. Yeah, now I'm all in on this kid.

I’m throwing caution to the wind on this one.

Wrong day to do that, at least in Connecticut.

Sunny and 93 degrees with the high to be only 103 in Vegas today.

When I want to fry an egg on my forehead I'll get back to you.

Throw caution to the wind today and it probably ends up in another zip code.
