The recruit thread is useless?

Yet here you are taking time out of your busy life to comment on a "useless" thread. At least you are not beating that dead horse anymore about players needing to get more playing time.

New quotes from Geno regarding Ice Brady's performance he witnessed last week, this time from Carl Adamec:



On Friday, it was Auriemma who took the opportunity to watch Brady, a 6-foot-2 senior forward from San Diego ranked No. 5 by ESPN in the recruiting class.

"They ran an out-of-bounds play for her and she knocked down a three," Auriemma said. "That's unusual for a kid her size. That's a great thing. She's so comfortable shooting it. She is left-handed, and Jamelle (assistant coach Elliott) thinks that's an added skill, because it takes the other guy awhile to get used to.

Did Brady get shorter?

I'm too lazy to do the work

Determine the College All Americans for the past 4 years.

Determine how many of the All Americans were NOT ranked in a top 25 during by a at least two "rating agencies" their year of commitments.

Yes, misses occur but I would assert that the percentage is negligible.
 
1/18

Tajianna Avant-Roberts: 20 points

Breya Cunningham: 12 points

I wonder if Amari has Saylor on speed dial.

The answer using WBCA AAs and correlating using ESPN rankings only is 35 % or (14 of 40. ) While this is higher than I though you point is well taken "misses occur" and I would add many kids out perform their initial rankings.

Thanks. And here’s another question. How many scholarships are given out each year? Let’s say 1000 in D-1. So a 100 list is basically 10% of an annual class.

You research shows that only ONE AA player got missed as a top 100 (ten percent) prospect. Congrats to Bridget Carleton for beating the odds! I would have guessed more than one.

Great graphic chart. 20 out of the 40 All Americans were ranked in the top ten. Thanks.

well, i would argue that its better than that. Bridget Carleton (Canada), and some of the others were ranked low because they were not U.S. players

You estimate of 1000 D1 scholarships yearly is a pretty good estimate. There are 350 Division I schools, if you assume an average roster size of 12 spread across 4 different classes you are pretty close to (350 X 12)/4=1050.
In fairness I probably need to do a little more research on Carleton. She is Canadian and I can't find where ESPN had her ranked. That is not unusual for ESPN, don't believe Nika Muhl was ever ranked by them either yet they took the time to rank Sabally.

I love the way she came out to meet the pass versus waiting with her butt out and the defender reaches out over her back to break up the entry pass on the last play of the clip. It happens a lot to Uconn bigs where the defender breaks up the play. It is so simple why isn't it taught in college. She will be in the rotation next year. None of our bigs can shoot as well as her. I think that is why Geno is excited to have her. Caroline, Azzi Brady, Paige, and Edwards.
 
It’s worth noting that the best recruiting rankings (as far as All American prediction) is 1-14. Ranks 15-25 are much weaker as a predictor than I had expected.

Keep an eye on Patterson. She could do as much or more next season as Edwards has done this year. More athletic, quicker, better hands and can get off the floor much better.
 
UCONN is in need of a player 6' 3" at a minimum, high motor, long arms. quick leaper, loves contact, can play positions 2-4 at either end of the floor, dips snuff and can get to the rim in her sleep. Have you seen her? What's her name? I don't care how these services rank her...they should grab her if they see her.
 
Any rumors of 5th year or other transfers that may be considering UConn? Most, such as Dorka, seem to come out of nowhere but worth asking. As several games this year have pointed out, an extra point guard could be very useful at times in the season. While unlikely to get significant playing time, for anyone with a career goal of getting into coaching, a year or more with UConn creates a PHD degree of basketball knowledge. Doesn't hurt to have Geno as a mentor as well.

I point you to Ayanna Patterson :)

Olivia Olson scored 26 points in front of Jamelle Elliott on Tuesday.

9-1/2 minutes of video highlights at the link.

Olivia Olson powers Benilde-St. Margaret's girls hoops past Jefferson

Star Benilde-St. Margaret's sophomore Olivia Olson had 26 points in Tuesday night's win over Bloomington Jefferson. KSTP Sports was there, as was UCONN.

Olsen plays with a lot of control and slows the game down. Very efficient in her game. Interesting that she didn't throw up many jump shots but still scored at a very high rate. She has more help on that team than Ayanna and Ashlyn have. I love big guards in general. She'd be a solid pick up.

I think she is more comfortable at the 4 but she will have competion from Brady who it more compentent as of now from the area that Amari missed most of her 7 shots. Inside we will have Dorka Paterson and Edwards next year, Carolyn at the three and Paige and Azzi in the backcourt with Nika as their rotational sub and energy provider. With those players we will certainly be able to hit some 3's and then have the middle open for the bigs and cutters.

If Aubrey is healthy next year I don’t see Paterson starting over her. With all the other offense that could be there Aubrey will be an asset defensively and rebounding and with extra playing time she’ll average 10 points a game just on trash put backs and the occasional fast break.
