Geno attended last Friday's Hopkins' victory. Clip starts where Geno is shown but the whole video is Paige highlights.

Just a quick statistic question...

At the 1:20(ish) mark, PB has a no look pass for a wide open layup. The player missed but got the rebound and put it in. That nullifies the assist, correct?

By rule it should have but you never know with high school scorers. Nnaji ended up with an offensive rebound of her own miss and putback. Tough for Paige but she probably didn't get an assist there.

That's what I figured - thanks!

Sluconn: Good stuff as always. Paige really sees the court; and she owns it as well.

Well, since Paige's career is mapped out and personal stats are therefore meaningless, probably happier if her teammates pad their own stats.

Azzi Fudd's 43-point effort last Friday (2/14) included 9 threes. Here is a condensed version of the game:

I think we are seeing a pretty good offensive player...but, based on what you see on the video which is like a highlight video...it is extremely difficult to be able to make any conclusions regarding her ability to play defense. By the way...there seemed to be some pretty efficient shooters on both teams.

Geno had mentioned in one of the latest press interviews that he likes to look for offensive skills more than defensive skills since it is easier to teach defense within a team concept.

Azzi keeps her hand up and moves her feet well side to side. She has been taught well.

After Hopkins game against St. Michael-Albertville you could see Paige was somewhat lame. She sat for the later part of the game and cooled out. You can see it here:

It's hard to tell in a highlight video but her parents are her AAU coaches and I saw at least one shot of her in a perfect position boxing a defender off right at the end of one of her videos. I'd guess she's been well-trained in the fundamentals. One thing she has all over Bueckers is a college-ready body. In fact in one of her interviews she mentioned that when she first saw Bueckers years ago at some event she looked at "that skinny body" and didn't think she would have much trouble with her. Then see saw Bueckers play.
I don't believe in comparing players to others but if Fudd were to pick UConn it would be like getting Taurasi and Moore on the same team. I'll keep my XL season ticket in the hope that happens. ;)

When do they announce?

Also, anyone on the BY care to assess (rank?) the finalists for those who are not following the HS scene outside of Paige. Would be a fun topic I think. OI only saw Hailey Van Lith in USAB and Paige is on a different level imho but no clue about the rest?

Been meaning to say this for awhile, Paopao is really really good and will be a problem in college. Paige is the best but remember Paopao’s name because from what I’ve seen, she’s very competitive and plays at an elite level. Really really like her game.

15) Reese
16) Van Lith
17) Cardoso from Brasil
18) Paopao

I believe with the exception of Paopao all of these players were evaluated by the UCONN staff.
Reese was reportedly holding a UCONN offer-personally I never saw it.
Van Lith visited UCONN and UCONN's interest died the day Nika said yes to UCONN
Geno went to Cardosa's HS to watch her play and UCONN interested died when Gabriel said yes to UCONN.

Thanks for the chuckle from the numeric rankings. Bueckers should be obvious. I like Paopao and I'd go top 5 for her and Hailey Van Lith. But the other two are about where I'd have them.
Reese- No idea how she could've had a UConn offer. I can't even watch her videos.
Hailey Van Lith- Wise move to take Muhl and call it a day for guards. Too many better ones on the horizon.
Cardoso- If indeed GA dropped her for Gabriel, it shows how much he saw in Cardoso. Unless academics were involved of which I have no idea.
