And just by luck, we play 3 of the SC recruits. Faegin, Rivers and Hall
Nika came over for a NBA/WNBA sponsored program at the final four for international and local up and comers - I think she met Paige at that time. It was after Uconn got involved in her recruiting but before she committed.
Why isn't Johnson isn't on list of players? Anyone know?And just by luck, we play 3 of the SC recruits. Faegin, Rivers and Hall
She doesn't want to wear Air Jordan's? (a sponsor)
Check the link the OP provided.
From what mentioned Aaliyah Moore will not be playing due to an injury. She will only be there cheering them on.
She will be playing in the Geico High School Tournament during that time.She doesn't want to wear Air Jordan's? (a sponsor)
Who knows, especially this year. By invitation, and they may well have had some refusals and issued more invitations.
There used to be an NCAA rule that limited the number of All-Star games a graduating senior could play, don’t know if it’s still in effect.She doesn't want to wear Air Jordan's? (a sponsor)

Her High School squad will be competing in the Geico Nationals the same day.
Do you remember how Azzi got hurt? It wasn't an all-star game.
Was it a high school or college game?
USA basketball.
Players are going to play basetball, a high school player like Azzi will play basketball about 300+ days a year. It doesn't matter weather she is home or at an all star game. Playing in a game like this is safer as far as who she will be on the court with.
It's a risk versus reward proposition. There's little to be gained showing off in some exhibition game while assuming a ton of risk.
It is a risk playing pickup outside or in a gym. Should she stop playing basketball completely until she gets to UConn?
...and players would never become playa's.
She is going to play basketball that day, 100%, where do you think she should play? I think it would be better for her to play in a game with future teammates/friends who play the game a certain way. OR she she can play at the local gym and get in a game with some football players trying to stay in shape, a couple guys who may play D3 and some guys who play to get some cardio that has no referees.
Her driveway if she must. She'll be in Storrs in two months where she can play all she wants against the best of the best under the watchful eye of our superior S&C and medical staff.
Ok, I guess I see where we differ. If there are 75 days, give or take, till she arrives in Storrs, I think she will hoop at least 65 of those days. almost all of those days will include playing, not just practicing. She isn't going to not play till then, that just not reality. I also don't think playing on the driveway would be a great idea, really rough on the knees.
