And I like Kitts. It's a coinflip for me but probably a better shot at Kitts than Booker I think. I believe Booker will stay in the South.
 
Numerous UConn POI from Oklahoma. This local article breaks some of them down.

Taliyah Parker, So., Putnam West​

Parker enters as No. 7 ranking of the 2024 class. The forward was one of 34 invited to USA’s Women’s U16 National Team Trials in May. The sophomore missed an extended period of time last season due to an ankle injury and surgery. But after recovering, the 6-foot-1 guard is bound to make a big impact this year with her versatility and playmaking abilities.

"She's one of those players who's able to get her shot whenever she wants to," First-year Putnam West head coach Ja'Ron Jefferson said. "So, stopping her is hard to do. She's able to create shots for herself and also create plays for her teammates. She is very good at finding players in the open court. Her vision is next level."


Keziah Lofton, Fr., Bethany​

Despite standing at 5-foot-11, Lofton is one of the quickest players which allows her to dominate at the point guard position. This summer she even improved on her ball handling after the left-hander broke her left wrist after being fouled at an ORU team camp in June. She has since "developed her right hand", which Bethany coach Eric Sailer calls, "A blessing in disguise."

"She can do things with the ball that I have yet to see and I've coached for 25 years," Sailer said. "But she definitely has the skill set that's pointing her in the direction of Division-I programs for a reason."


Keeley Parks, Fr., Norman​

Parks enters after Norman's 19-0 undefeated Class 6A state championship season. Coach Michael Neal has moved on to Oklahoma women's basketball and Parks' father has stepped into the head coaching role. But the freshman looks the part of a star player, already standing at 5-foot-11. She's quick with ball-handling skills and has a good understanding of the defensive side of the ball.

Norman coach Frankie Parks believes ESPN ranked Keeley as a top 25 player in the 2025 class because of a combination of her size, ball-handling, shooting efficiency and defensive mindedness.

"Keeley is just a different type of athlete and basketball player. From a physicality standpoint, she's a kid that's 5'11, solid build, so can withstand the physicality that comes along with playing."


Sania Richardson, Fr., Ada​

Richardson enters as a point guard that can score at all three levels on the floor. She was named as the MVP of the 2021 Super 16 All-Star game, which holds top players in middle school and junior high from around the state. Richardson scored 21 points in the contest. Richardson is a 5-foot-4 guard that has already made a good impression on Ada coach Christie Jennings and the team.

"We were excited to see her on the ESPN top 25 but weren’t surprised," Jennings said. "We know her future is extremely bright. We look forward to what she will bring to our team this year."

I don't envy Geno, CD, etc. trying to make recruiting decisions based on games like this. KK looked strong but the level of competition was low. Some of these games look like scrimmages between the varsity and JV teams. Good luck projecting how players will transition from one year playing against a 5'10" HS center to shooting against Boston in the NCAA's.

So true. It’s such a crap shoot now. Even at the high level AAU the games are just wild one one free for alls. But what we are missing is a big bodied bruiser. We need an enforcer.
