Do you live in Ft Greene? My nephew, Doug Turner, was a Tech freshman '64, eh? Did you know him? At that time Brooklyn Tech was considered the best academic high school in the country!

Did you know Billy Lawrence, All-City hoops at Molloy in the early 60s .. a good pal o' mine...
 
Have we heard anything lately about Jaelyn Bates from Volcano Vista in Albuquerque? She is now a junior and was 2nd team All-State as a sophomore. She has an offer from New Mexico and interest from some other D-1 schools.

Not exactly hard to see why UConn has interest.

Amazing young player, she has a real jump shot leaves the floor and elevates, no chest push shot. Looks as fast as CD and maybe she has a better shot. Thanks for the post.
 
2023 Ashlynn Shade put up these lines in two games last week:

24 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals, 2 assists

26 points, 5 steals, 4 assists
 
.-.
2024 Joyce Edwards' last two games:

27 points, 7 assists, 13 steals

37 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 9 steals, 4 blocks


Highlights from the first game:

 
So I wonder with all these young players getting photos with Azzi and Paige (and most certainly Paige social media followers) if this should give UConn the inside edge on recruiting them, you know "my dream school was UConn where my favorite player went to school"...:rolleyes:

Amari: Yea, I'm thinking about going to UCONN.
Stewie: What's there to think about? You do want to be the best right?

I don't trust the 5-5. I'd like to see her and CD stand side by side.

Me likes her. Her lack of size will leave plenty of room for her to play with a huge chip on her shoulder.

Oh, I like her. She’s like the second coming of Muggsy Bogues. I just wonder about defensive limitations and getting the 3 off because she’ll actually get guarded at the college level.

I was wondering about her recently too, I noticed that she still doesn’t have a ESPN profile, she definitely looked like good shooter and a fun player to watch.

You watch the videos I posted? She's a defensive demon. Dogged, determined. Quicker feet than Moriah.

This is not me asking the question, if you're wondering. I have a feeling it is one of our members though.

And IDK if this guy is on the BY, but I see him posting a lot on Twitter and IG asking recruits and/or their proxies over and over how tall they are, when they’re playing next, when is so and so committing...

And if you are here and reading this, can I politely suggest you tone it down a touch? It’s not quite Coach Jumper sliding into recruits’ DMs, but sometimes it comes across as a little... weird.

12/7

Ashlon Jackson outscored her team's opponent 26-17 on Tuesday in an 83-pt victory.


Here are the last 3+ quarters. AJ is #3 in red.

Jackson hits two long threes and a fadeaway jumper in the paint, and fires a bullet, no-look pass for an assist in the first six minutes.

Another terrific no-look assist at 41:25.

More Athena Tomlinson who I find quite entertaining. This is from March 2019.

Hard to take your eyes off this lil waterbug, She is so fast and quick with a good shot.
 
Amazing timing this. Athena Tomlinson ('24) wrote a guest piece in Fresno Sports Magazine that came out today. Among many other things, she says Azzi Fudd is one of her favorite players. Also talks about meeting Kobe Bryant (she played against Gigi Bryant) and what she wants to do in the future.

I believe UConn has interest in this young lady so early because they heard some of her favorite players are from or going to UConn
