Ireland’s 6'5" Gandy Malou-Mamel, class of 2025, commits

[HuskylnSC]

Wow I am so surprised at how many of the yarders are poetic in nature!!!
4 pages based on a 30 second video. Our rants for bigs recruiting has been rewarded for now but our hunger for bigs who can score thru contact still can never be fully quenched.

Have you met Jana El Alfy?

 

[Rowdy831]

This recruit reminds of Hakeem Olajuwon when he was being recruited by Houston back in the day. He was very raw but extremely athletic and a hard worker. You don't get a chance at too many players with her size and athleticism so when you find one you offer. UCONN usually has enough talent to bring in a player that needs development and let her grow before they throw her out there.

But more important than talent, she has the size everyone has been clamoring for lately in the Boneyard. Just kidding.

 

[Bone Dog]

I have high hopes for Amari. Jana will push her to greater heights, and later Jana and Ice will push Gandy to greatness too.

No news in this Irish article but there are some pictures we haven’t seen. Oh, and there’s this:

UConn - the most successful women's college basketball team ever - dominated the sport for much of the 2000s, winning 10 of their 11 national titles.

So are all the basketball teams in Ireland nicknamed the Celtics?

Moves very well for a true Big. Very athletic. Looks like a prospect with a very high ceiling.

 

[Carnac]

She's from Limerick!

There once was a baller named Gandy,

Whom the Boneyard thought was quite Dandy ....

Et tu Milford?

I thought some were nicknamed "The Fighting Irish".

On Edit: DO NOT trash Piath in this thread. She has moved on - we need to move on too

Piath was limited but she hustled and put in the effort. Solid Husky culture. Only the best wishes

62 blocks in 27 games, NICE!

Second on the team in blocks was Sidney Quinn (sophomore like Gandy) - both of them had 22 steals (0.8 per game)...

Let’s hope we can get the Big “O” and either Woliczko and/or McGaughy to go with her!

 

[Dove]

Does she have a brogue?

 

[Tonyc]

Well another surprise. This could be a huge get. To say UConn is loaded is an understatement. If you look at Hoopgurlz you dont see alot of bigs 6'4 and over. UConn has and has commitments from some 6'4 and over. For those who think that there is any better team in America then UConn over the next few years is crazy. When you have Paige Azzi and Aaliyah and top it off with some Bigs well UConn will dominate. The only questions left is who will take advantage of their Covid year and red shirt year. UConn if healthy will run over teams like a Mack Truck running over a board of nails. That my friends would be a big blowout.

My favorite poster, Tonyc. You said it better than anyone else has and you are echoing exactly what I've been posting, a dynasty in the making and total domination of the game. UCONN is bad for Women' s BB again. Thank you Tonyc for your insight and knowledgeable posts. GO HUSKIES!!!!

 

[Bone Dog]

UCONN is bad for Women' s BB again.

Nice one! This should be our new slogan.

 

[HuskyNan]

Nice one! This should be our new slogan.

“It was a good day for us when we got all those [signed LOI] letters. It was a great day for us, actually, and we’re putting together another one for the following year,” Auriemma said. “Two in a row. Two really good ones in a row. Our goal is to be bad for basketball again.”

UConn’s offense evolving, starting to ‘pass’ the eye test

More passing, better shooting has the UConn women’s basketball team clicking on...
