Sloconn, I, we on the BY who live by our POI's and recruits owe you so much. You keep the important young ladies' names and stories out there for us. Which leads us to discussions and debate on who we feel best fits the needs of our favorite team. Not to slight the other insightful posters who add to our recruiting thread, with additional info and important posts. I have missed posts from CocoHuskey on this thread and others, I hope he is OK.

Thanks, and I agree about CocoHusky.

Curious why you feel she is not a "shooter?" A "scorer" can also take it to the basket as most current UConn players have shown.

I believe Husky Nan posted career shooting numbers for her of low 30's for 3 pointers and around 70% for free throws. This year has been substantially better from beyond the arc which is encouraging, but those are not the numbers of a good shooter, particularly for a player her size. I did, however, say I thought she was elite at creating and taking it to the basket.

Some players are great shooters but actually score at a relatively low volume because they can't create off the dribble, take it to the hole, or pull up for mid-range jumpers. Other players can score at a high clip without being a very good shooter, but they can get their shot with relative ease with quickness, size, leaping ability, or moves that help them get just enough space to get their shot off.

I believe KK is far more the later, but she may improve her shooting with time, and at Uconn she can be a little more selective in her shot selection since we have plenty of other shooters and scorers.

Lauren Hassell was so excited after her 31-point, 17-rebound performance that she ran straight off the court and into the locker room for a well-deserved celebration. The problem, though, is that she delayed the celebration of her scoring her 1,000th career point.

Lauren Hassell, by the way, is an eighth grader at Clarksville Christian School.

“She’s got rare size, she’s got rare handle and she’s got rare scoring ability all in one,” said Trenton Hassell, her head coach and father. “A lot of people don’t have that.”

And about that game that Lauren went for the 31-point double double in? It was against her dad’s alma mater, who happens to have a superstar of their own.

“(Imari Berry’s) got a God-given gift,” Trenton said. “I’ve been seeing her since third, fourth grade. She’s just one of those kids that God just said ‘here.’ She’s got a gift, she’s got a natural gift. It’s not something that she’s got to go in the gym and work (for). She’s just gifted with that ball, man. … She’s one of the best players in the state and should be ranked in the nation. I’m just saying because I’ve seen all the talent. The girl is blessed.”


Lauren’s Centurions bested Berry’s Wildcats 52-47 in front of the largest crowd in CCS history. The jam-packed, standing-room only gym featured college coaches from a who’s-who of Power 5 standouts: Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Louisville, UConn, Florida, NC State, Clemson and Alabama to name a few.


And they were treated to a show. The teams traded leads most of the night. Berry scored 23 points despite being guarded as closely as the Centurions possibly could, drawing double and triple teams at times, all with an injured leg.

The goofs at Sony Music have somehow now blocked Ziebell's game from last night. That company has a long history of blocking videos on YT while trying to extract money. But there is absolutely nothing related to Sony in that broadcast which has no music or ads.

Jenica Lewis HS teams looks like they run the same type of actions as UConn. She should fit right in! Of course you all know I don’t go all in on recruits after what’s her name broke me, but I like Jenica as a must get.
