I’m glad others think she’s 6’2” too. That’s what the photos suggest to me. But in the Campobasso highlights videos she’s looks a bit smaller, closer to Sara Scalia’s size. I guess it’s really hard to judge height from videos. It’s a good thing she towers over Geno at least.

What is her age?

According to the first post in this thread Geno was quoted as saying: Mature.
I used to wonder about this sort of thing but I decided that I really wanted to advance to a second date with a woman.
All kidding aside, this could be important with regard to when she will be eligible to play in the WNBA. I read that her date of birth is August 3, 2006.
 
I was told a little over a year ago from someone who knows her well my cousin that she could've started for UConn right away and that was a year ago. He compared her to Napheesa Collier. Ive heard alot of great things about her athleticism and her ability to score. We've got another Grande Great One.

As YOGI said: " It ain't over till it's over". No reason to believe that Agot Makeer will not also be a Huskie.
As they say in the NY Metropolitan areas: "you gotta believe!"
I was thinking why not one as a shooting guard and one as
a WING? My first choice would be that she accepts UCONN and
then MSU... close to home and family. I'm willing to wait!!!
 
I agree with Geno. What we get with her for a variety of reasons we don't have now. Reminds me a bit of Maya but I have seen 14 seconds of her game.

Her recent visit to South Carolina makes me think that they are in the driver's seat but I've been wrong before.....:):rolleyes:

She appears to be quite fearless and proficient at driving to the basket, but I haven't seen enough of her to know how good an outside shooter she is....

She looks tall, and she moves well. Looks like a nice addition. Looks tough and athletic which is what we’re lacking next year.

Kelis, though not tall, appears to me to be rather "tough and athletic".. two out of three
is not bad! Maybe there will be the possibility for a junior year (to be) portal transfer of
your "tall, tough, and athletic" player.... Always a possibility, if we have the roster availability
and Geno says so........ BUT...Actually === Gandy is TALL, and "LOOKS tough and athletic". Have you
not seen our Irish Center on the BONEYARD videos? SHE's COMING TO STORRS next JUNE!!!!

Sarah visited SC also and some thought they would lock her up.

Same age as Bueckers is now. And I think Griffin.

This is about the fifth time, this signing has been presented as " big news." We often over rate our international signings, so let’s stay calm. ( Nika Muhl, of course, fooled us all ).

I can tell you from people in the WCBB world she is really good. I was told a year ago she could start for UConn a year ago. With that said my cousin plays on the same team as her in Italy

I trust my eyes
The athleticism and basketball IQ shown playing in
A pro league tells me she can play and compete
Day one at the college level
Will she be a star? Time will tell but imho she
Would be our best rebounder right now

I like your thinking. What does that give us as a lineup next year? She seems to play the wing for Campobasso but also crashes the boards and gets steals in the paint.
Maybe it looks like this:
  • KK Azzi Sarah Blanca Jana
  • With Ash Ice and Morgan first three off the bench
  • And Gandy Allie Kelis Q get a chance to earn important minutes
  • If all goes well Caroline and Ayanna become available
However the roster shakes out, it looks like Geno will have a lot of ball handlers again. The new feature will be a big frontcourt, especially if Ayanna can get past her injuries, maybe one of the biggest in D1.

Yes you are correct, I like Kelis, but I just feel that we need more than what we’re getting. Unless some serious development occurs.

Kelis had 28 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds against the #4 ranked high school, Long Island Lutheran (LuHi) last month. Her team plays a national schedule and she’s competed against many of the best players in the country. What “more” is it you’re looking for?
