February 2020 UConn Recruiting Thread

3/1

Azzi Fudd: 17 points (5-16 FG, 3-10 3-PT), 6 rebs, 5 assists

Kiki Rice: 15 points (7-19 FG), 12 rebounds

Well, Azzi and Kiki combined for 32. I thought they would get 60.

She made a couple of Mir McLean double-pump moves.

Congrats to Coaches Scribner and Fudd and Azzi and her teammates!

Like most BY’ers, I believe it will take some time for Piath to reach her full potential at UConn. But I also see an opportunity for her to play meaningful minutes backing up Liv, perhaps as early as the middle of next season.

Piath is a big, strong girl, who can run the court. If she can just learn the basics of defending the paint and rebounding at the college level, Piath could provide important minutes off the bench, anywhere from 5-15 per game towards the back half of next season.

Your assessment is spot on. The few teams with outstanding bigs rarely have similar players on the bench i.e. Griffin or even Anna could be called on the sub for the few minutes they need to rest. Paith facing a 2nd string center would be a fair fight.

“It just feels smoother,” said Fudd, who finished with a game-high 17 points, six rebounds and five assists. “I’ve never been worried about my knees, but I just feel a little bit more like my old self every game I come back.”

...

While his daughter hasn’t regained her explosiveness, Tim Fudd believes she’s a better shooter.

Fudd said she feels 85 percent healthy and expects to be at full health next season.

A quick 5'6" PG from Texas? That worked out pretty well last time, but Mo was rated really, really high. If we have Paige and Nika, do we need a PG in 2021?

6' in 6th grade! Amari stands out!

She seems to use her left hand well!

Especially if things work out with Ashlon Jackson in the 22 class.

Glad to hear that Azzi is playing, playing well, winning, and, most importantly, having fun. Play hard, play smart, and have fun. I've heard that somewhere.

I would say no need for a PG in 21.

Well, Azzi and Kiki combined for 32. I thought they would get 60.

Neither of them shot the ball well. Neither of them have a teammate that could get them an easy shot consistently. I was impressed with Kiki’s defense and her effort getting on the boards. It seemed like she had every defensIve rebound.

I said it more than once before, but I'm really glad that if The Knife had to injure her knee, she did it with an entire year left in HS to get back to her former self.
