Reminds of me of Diana in the 2000 WBCA All-Star game in Hartford. One of the CT reporters told Diana after the game that she won't be able to play at UConn the way she played in the All-Star game (one on one; some out of control stuff). Diana responded: "I know that sir."
 
Has Stewart scored? Haven't seen a mention.

She has a couple of basket but has really struggled shooting (maybe 2 for 10). Quite a few shots that didn't draw iron or were very short. Tuck and Jefferson have been much more impressive in this game.

I am still in awe of Jefferson's combo of quickness and athleticism. When she gets to Uconn she could immediately become the fastest player in the country end to end with a ball in her hands.
 
Alexis Prince has hit several three pointers, has 15 points and 8 rebounds. She is going to be a great addition to Baylor.
 
Stewart is smoking now. Nice left handed hook, jumper in the lane and sweet three pointer.

Jefferson is going to have an immediate impact with her speed. She can be a little out of control but that is totally coachable, unless your name is Simmons and you play for Tennessee.
 
Funny how the refs can even screw up an all star game :cool:

Bree came one day late, due to NYHS Championship game. Being this is an All Star game, there is not much passing going on.

I thought Bree was frozen out by her team mates in the first half. Not intentionally. Just that they all look to shoot first, not to pass.

Hahahaha...did anyone else catch Moriah and the girl from New Jersey doing a dance in the middle of the game? Hilarious!

That was classic!

Btw, is there anything cuter than Moriah's grin? I didn't think so :cool:
 
Prince did well in the 3-point contest on Monday. She, Mabrey (ND), and Tuck advanced to the second round. Morgan then won. Mabrey is supposed to be a dead-eye shooter.
 
The lack of assisted scoring, typical of these affairs at all levels, will be corrected and the stat charts that count start next November for these HS AA's.... I like our 3's chances of lighting it up under Geno, CD and Company. Going to be a great 4 years. :)
 
Well, that was fun.

Think that these 3 can make up for the loss of Hayes????

Geno is going to be challenged to manage minutes.

If he starts Dolson, Hartley, Doty, Faris and Lewis, he has Banks, Stokes and the 3 freshman all needing minutes.

That's 10 players. Great problem to have.

Trash..... do you think Alexis Jones can start for us next year?
 
i can't believe how good our trio is. it's hard not to set expectations too high. Baylor better hope they win it this year cuz next year's gonna be a different story. speaking of Baylor, they seem to be doing well with guards and wings, but if they don't land some elite post players, they'll be lucky to remain in the top 10 once Griner, Pope, Williams, etc. leave...

Prince and Simms are nice, but they haven't recruited any elite post players thru 2012. when the kids from 2013 come in, Griner etc will be gone, but even if they get big time post players from that class, they will only be freshmen. it seems there are at least 6 or 7 teams recruiting better than them - of course a strong 2013 class would change all that...

who do you start her in place of? Won't Wells be back? and you started her for 10 games and Gray as well. u think she'd start in front of them? either way she's fantastic. Duke is going to be a force for at least 3 years...
 
All Star games aren't aways a good indicator of what is to come, but it's obvious that the three Uconn recruits are complete players. All very special in their own way.

Stewart brings the ball up like she's 5'6" bent forward like Hartley. Remarkably long arms. Very smooth coordinated movement. As the announcer said, WNBA ready movement and shooting No flaws.

MoJef a jet, passing, dribbling, defending. Dribble drive take-off two feet inside the foul line and lands beyond the end line.

Tuck, so solid and always in the thick of things.

At times in the 2nd half it seemed like there were only Uconn recruits on the floor, given the number of times Uconn was mentioned. An embarassment of riches.

I am worried though. This is too good to be true.

I agree. It is so easy to see how you could build an offense that runs through her. Her shot was not on for most of the game but she showed signs of brilliance and skills that nobody else on the court had.

In terms of overall talent and high school ranking and accomplishments, Alexis Jones is very comparable to Chelsea Gray. Some think that Jones is at least as good as MoJeff.
 
Tuck was a stud. She finishes really well around the basket. She is strong as a horse.

MoJeff is a show-boater. Lots of no look passes. Geno and Shea will teach her to concentrate more, and show-boat less. She missed a couple of shots she should have made in the first half. Then she made some great shots and passes in the 2nd half. Including a 3 from the deep corner that tied the game in the last 2 minutes. There were very few passers on the court; but Bre often passed to teammates when she had fairly easy shots available for herself. Mo and Morgan were also trying to play team basketball.

Bre took over the game in the last 4 minutes --- because she had to in order for her team to win.

Jones looked less erratic than Jefferson. Jefferson got caught up a little too much in trying to show off her dribbling skills, but then again, it is an all-star game. Jones definitely had that get-to-the-basket mentality, always moving forward. But Jefferson has so much speed that she is going to be Odyssey Sims like on defense.

Tuck was very solid throughout the entire game. Nothing flashy, just business-like efficiency.

I was surprised to see how far some of Stewart's shots were off, missing the entire basket, but she got clicking at the end of the game and it was obvious that she is much better than her early game performance. Her arm length is impressive!

She's supposed to be an outstanding defense player as well. One thing we lacked this year was multiple people who could create there own shot.... outside of Gray and Jackson (who got injured). And you know our coach loves people who can play defense.

I think they can thrive in the backcourt together. One of the scouting reports I read said that maybe she was a better off guard then point. On defense you could have Jones guard the pg.. and Gray could guard the 2 guard....

either way.. it will be very competitive in practice come October fighting for slots... for both UCONN, and Duke.
 
I think Griner may be the only current player with a wingspan greater than Bre's 7'.
