Is she as good as Ono was as a high school senior? Do you expect her to play much her first two seasons?

Any idea what kind of competition Del Rosario is playing against there in NJ?

Not sure about this season because of COVID but TCA usually plays a pretty good schedule which includes best in NJ Private (Masaquan, St. John Vianney, Blair ) and private schools as well as NYC area schools.

Thanks. That would be really good for her. The big kids especially really need to be pushed. I have to believe UConn has been on her for awhile and '23 would be a good time for another aircraft carrier.

Keep in mind that ONO was recovering from knee surgery during her senior year of HS. If you were to compare ONO's junior year to Amari's I say the player were quite comparable with ONO having a slight edge because of the level of competition and based on performance at USA basketball. I think Amari will play some as a freshman and average about the same number of minutes ONO did as a freshman ~14 MPG and will be just as productive. She will be third in the post rotation behind ONO and AE IMO.

Undeclared and extraordinary, Olivia Nelson-Ododa healing, observing and mulling

Sidelined since January with a knee injury, Olivia Nelson-Ododa, the No. 5 senior prospect, is hoping to get full clearance to return to the basketball court soon. But first she's looking long-term and closing in on a college decision.

I think she'll become Liv's back up at the high post to allow Aaliyah to start at the PF/4 next year.

DeBerry is going to be another 6’5 jump shooter, she’s definitely more of a forward then a center. In the game above she looks like a willing passer, and she can rebound and go straight back up, sometimes Liv brings the ball down and ends up getting it blocked or turning it over.

I was watching some videos of Jenica Lewis from the June 2020 thread. Anyone have any updated videos of her? She’s fun to watch and UCONN is her dream school. How old now 14?
15? Thanks...,,,! Wowser!

Hopefully we are all around to see her at UCONN but she's HS class of 2026.

What I like is she's wide in the hips. That is a great advantage around the rim. Tougher for defenders to reach around, tougher to get around, helpful in backing up defenders and helpful in your drop steps. Nice to see her shoot pullups as well. Nicer to see her hit them though.

Not bad, but last night it was #1 vs #2:

Untouchable at the top: SJV surges past Trenton Catholic to defend No. 1 ranking

Madison St. Rose led St. John Vianney with 28 points, including 20 in the first half.

I noticed that Carla Berube has snagged Madison St. Rose from St. John.

Mentioned her about 10 days ago after Chris Dailey began following her on social media. Click on this link to see two new video montages.

I feel like Ducharme is going to be a Morgan Tuck to Azzi's Stewie for us. Stewie got all the attention and rightly so but Morgan was a workhorse and without her don't think there would have been as many championships. Azzi will get all the attention but I bet Caroline will be glue and keep it all together using her versatility.

Paulina Paris highlights from a few days ago:

 

[jaundicedeye]

I think Charles was more of a pure post player whereas Edwards is a bit more versatile. I liken JE to a mixture of Aaliyah Edwards and Swin Cash in terms of type of player.

I love AE, great athlete and competitor and truly what we need, but at this time I am not seeing versatility. She is currently a rebounder who shoots layups and put-backs. I would love to first see her develop more post moves and then add a jumper up to 10 ft.

You haven't seen her bag of tricks yet. She can do those things and more including hit threes and score off the dribble-drive.

Caroline Ducharme put up 47 points yesterday against Molly Bent's old school Tabor Academy.

No video yet but there are some clips I'll post.

Okay, maybe just one clip and it's a better version of one posted yesterday.

The "Book" can cook. Looks like she's got two sets of eyes.
