Lauren Hassell ('27):

25 points, 13 rebs, 3 assists, 2 blocks

It looks like UConn is on the job with this kid. Strong with the ball both hands and an excellent shooter.

67-point performance puts Bella Hines in national spotlight

 

[RockyMTblue2]

If Allie Ziebel is a replacement for anyone, it is Lou. She's skilled and she can shoot. Defense and athleticism are not her strength. Overall though I'm ecstatic with her game as she can flat out score.

She'll be scoring from the bench if she can't play defense! Sorta joking ... sorta

Smith hit 7 threes as part of her 38-point performance.

UConn needs to be on her like superglue.

Kate Koval:

Has she grown? I've only seen her listed as 6'4"

Kate Koval:

I'm greedy. I'll take her and TAC. TAC could play forward or center from what I've seen.

That is interesting. I liked her as a prospect at 6-4. She was in the 3 on 3 tournament (under18) representing Ukraine this summer, and looked strong and pretty fundamentally sound to me. By the way she played against Jana in that tournament, and in that brief exposure I was interested in both of them.

She looks noticeably thinner in this current video, and if she has grown two inches and lost a little excess weight, she could shoot up the rankings. Also wondering the impact of Heckel on the recruiting of Koval. Since they play together could they be a package deal for some program?

12/19


Allie Ziebel: 29 points (10-17 FG, 6-10 3-PT, 3-4 FT), 11 rebs, 8 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks


The video of this game is split in two. Hopefully, they fix it later.

Ziebell dishing out some assists tonight (12/19):

Kate Koval:

She has good footwork around the basket- nice to see

Reminds me a little of Dolson in the few High School videos I saw. Seems to have good instincts and confidence. Likely one of her only adjustments to D1 competition is getting use to competition as tall and big as she is. Don't see this as an issue.

I believe unless the player announces it, ya won’t know until they commit. Someone correct me if I’m wrong
