Do we know who from UCONN was at Iriafen’s game?

Probably CD or Shea, I doubt that Jamelle would take on a very big role in recruiting considering she is only there temporarily.

I could have discern that myself. My precise reason for asking is there is potentially a huge difference in UCONN interest. If it was Shea then UCONN is likely still evaluating. If it was CD then UCONN has likely completed the evaluation and is closer to deciding if an offer should be extend.

Aaliyah Edwards did not make the Canadian senior team that will play in the pre-Olympic qualifying tourney this weekend. Hat tip to Stoli for the info.

I guess you can't argue with the 5 forwards/posts going. Still, a bit of a bummer.

McCormick rates Maggie Mendelson, a 6-5 center, 4th overall in 2023. She is a highschool teammate of Timea Gardiner. UConn has visited their practices.

Sheesh. I think they also have a top-60 6-4 post player in 2021.

6-6 Aalyah Del Rosario is also intriguing, another Brazillian post player. She attends Trenton Catholic in NJ.

I’m sure she’s a little raw, but appears pretty agile:

Jonathan Hemingway's vote for the Naismith semi-finalists included Paige Bueckers:


Paige Bueckers – Hopkins HS (Minnetonka, Minn.), 2020 – SIGNED Connecticut

Bueckers brings a unique style and flair with her game. Typically one might believe that a player that plays with extra pizazz to have efficiency issues. Not the case with the 5-foot-11 guard. Her skills are impeccable. She is a perfect fit for Geno Auriemma’s offensive system. She is capable of making plays at multiple perimeter positions on the court.

Geno pushing hard. Gotta love it.

..and for those who enjoy parity in the women's game, I say, don't get used to it.

My girl Jaelyn!! She's playing without glasses this year.

Man I wish she was 5-10. Tremendous vision, ball handler, and shooter.

Man I wish she was 5-10. Tremendous vision, ball handler, and shooter.

Also she has incredible ups, and the ability to hang in the air. And then there is her NBA three range.

2/5

Mir Mclean scored 9 points in a loss to Angel Reese and St Francis.

Totally agree.

I agree. I think she could be a Lorin Dixon spark off the bench that changes the offense for periods of time PG but not the starting PG at that size.

Always fun to watch

Not good. Any stats on Reese? I hope to see Mir tomorrow.

Mir's team lost 59-32 last night. They lost 79-40 to St. Frances last month.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Jaelyn Bates, from her first game in 10th grade. The kid is a baller. She can draw the Native American audience, as Shoni did.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Jaelyn at a scouting event. She's Crystal without the muscles--and maybe better at finishing inside. Check the defensive play at 27 seconds.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

@MilfordHusky I must admit to short point guard fatigue.

Reese had 14 points, though the article stated she struggled shooting from the field: No. 3 St. Frances girls basketball overcomes slow start, surges past No. 6 Roland Park, 59-32

But as a backup to Paige ....
