December Recruiting Thread

[HuskylnSC]

@Sluconn Husky Thanks for all you do to educate me and those like me. I appreciate all the videos and recruiting information. It's probably a labor of love for you, but your willingness to share information is to be commended.

Dunmore, with Ciera Toomey, plays today (12/27) sem-final at 1:00 in Scranton's Lynett Memorial Tournament with 3 other Scranton area teams. The winners of this game and the following game (@ 2:30) will meet for the girl's championship on Wednesday at 5:30, when previous runner-up games start at 1:00 and the men's final follows at 7.

Wonder if any Boneyarders might grace the gym with their presence...today or tomorrow?
If so...please report on the game.

Perhaps of more importance...any sightings of UConn staff?

Who knows what the end result will be in college but Ice appears to have a better jump shot. Ice looks a little bigger as well. Similar players in other ways. What I'm really saying is she looks like an upgrade but Ayilah had a great year last year with solid post skills and I expect she will get a little luck and start converting at a high rate again. Both are solid players.

I anticipate Edwards dominating the BE competition. If she doesn't, something is wrong.

Sadly, I won't be there this year...but the live feed is great.

Watching on YouTube. UConn needs to go ALL out to get C to commit! She is the real deal. We all needs friends like C!!

 

[CocoHusky]

Seems like on one of these recruiting threads someone reported that someone (her HS coach?) said Ice was now 6'4". That would be good.
Now, can Ciera grow a little, say to 6'4" or more*. A "stretch five"! That would be uber cool.
* and come to UConn.

I honestly don't envision C being a five or post when she gets to UCONN. She has the skills-ball handling, passing and shooting skills to play SF or big guard in the mold of KLS & Ann Strother and is the same size=6'3" C is an elite shot maker form all three levels & can create her own shot. What is especially intriguing about have Ice, C, and AP up front is that all three are quality post and perimeter defenders.

C is one of the smoothest players I’ve seen in awhile. Hope/pray “we” UConn lands her.

thanks for the link............without height no way for the opposition to stop Toomey in that game.......still, she was very impressive missing just one layup and one three pointer in scoring like 29 points in three quarters.......hit corner jumpers from fifteen feet and threes from top of the key........she showed good quickness and excellent hands.....clearly a three or four.......I'd love to see her against much better competition as she could have scored 40 if she wanted against the team they played today.......

I don't foresee UConn having trouble opening up the paint if they have Toomey and Brady taking turns drilling shots from that high post. Having two 6-3 kids who know exactly when the shot is there and don't hesitate at all would be a luxury very few teams have. And they both know how to move the ball when it's not there. Both understand how to read a defense quickly.

What time do Dunmore and “C” play ?

Already played today. I’m not sure if there is a second game. Check the YouTube link.

C is pretty much a cheat code. After her first two baskets the announcers said: "that just not fair!"

They have already played. Go to this link on Youtube and scroll backwards Dunmore is the first game I believe.

Any mention of any coaches from any college there?

Not that I recall. The only college/coach I remember being mentioned is a player heading to Drexel I believe she is a teammate of C.

Thanks Coco !! I only watched the first half but two things impressed me ; 1- I thought the announcers were very good, and 2- Despite a distinct height advantage most of the time Scranton launched a shot Toomey located her man and boxed out ! Didn’t rely on her height to dominate. She is obviously fundamentally very sound. BTW, do you know when they play again ?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

More detailed stats from Toomey's game on 12/23.

Toomey was named the Times-Tribune athlete of the week for that performance.

The 6-foot-4 junior scored 27 points on 13-of-15 shooting for the top-ranked Lady Bucks, and added four rebounds, four blocks and four assists.

Drexel bound Moriah Murray is the Dunmore point guard.

Dunmore, with Ciera Toomey, plays today (12/27) sem-final at 1:00 in Scranton's Lynett Memorial Tournament with 3 other Scranton area teams. The winners of this game and the following game (@ 2:30)... (now Scranton Prep)... will meet for the girl's championship on Wednesday at 5:30, when previous runner-up games start at 1:00 and the men's final follows at 7.

Sluconn, are you not a friend?

She will play with DeBerry for two years. So that is Toomey, Brady, Patterson and DeBerry. Maybe Kitts will be there also.

If she is a quality post then I can't see her being a SF. She'll be wasted as a SF being predominately a perimeter player. If her shot isn't falling from the outside then she won't be in a position to offensive rebound, or be in a position to use her fine low post moves. And she'll allow a smaller player able to guard her on the outside. As a result her strength doesn't appear to be transition defense either so having her run back to defend faster wings on defense is not ideal.

AP is a definite PF. So if the other two of Ice and C are legit 5's that can also play 4- then you're talking something special.

Ducharme is set for SF and Fudd set for SG. Add in the above three players for the frontcourt you got something very special.
