Ayanna Patterson: 34 points (13-15 FG, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 4 blocks
Three of her blocks were highlight-reel type.
Since for 2023 KK Arnold is already signed, I’d take Toomey and the best combo guard out there, Mikaylah Williams to fill out ‘23. If I got MW, then I’d scale back ‘24 to either Olson or Britt Prince for a wing/guard. Hope I’m wrong but I just have a feeling Olson might stay in the Midwest.I am unwavering on this; My Christmas wish list is for the next couple of years, I want Cieria Tomey and Olivia Olson. Got 2 on your list, let-r-rip, who are they? Inquiring minds want to know.
It's very encouraging to see her making FT shots as I think her biggest weakness is her shot. When someone can make free throws that's a good indicator she can become a solid shooter overall. She is going to need Geno badly though as her basketball IQ needs a ton of refinement. Has she even played AAU ball at all? She's playing with kids who all appear to be midgets compared to her and not even remotely capable of defending her. She absolutely needs better competition and probaby better coaching.The announcer notes that Ayanna has gotten her FT shooting up to 69% this year. That's better than the Huskies did against UCLA.
Does UConn have a commit or POI on Sidwell?Sidwell beat #1 DeSoto by 54-36 yesterday. They should be the #1 team in the nation in the next poll. I reported on their win over top-10 McNamara previously.
Are we recruiting Jadyn Donovan (2023) from Sidwell? She's a 6'0" leaper at guard and apparently very strong.
Does UConn have a commit or POI on Sidwell?
Thanks. For those who don't know, Donovan is a 6'0" jumping jack guard, rated #10 in 2023. Dudley is a 6'1" PG rated #4 in 2024. Along with Rice, that gives them 3 top-10 players over 3 classes. They are the top team in the nation.Rice is there. It's possible UConn has interest in Jaydan Donovan and/or Kendall Dudley, but that's not known.
