December Recruiting Thread

I don't follow the recruiting threads much and I do have a question. Is/has KK Arnold always been a volume shooter ? Do you mean taking a lot of shots in general or needing a lot of shots to score a lot of points? Her shooting percentage is well down so far this year, even though her 3-pt%...

Allie Ziebel and Neenah lost a heart-breaker in OT Saturday against by far the best competition they have faced. Without Allie it would've been a blowout. Neenah was down 13-0 on the road, eventually took the lead, and Ziebell tied it late with a three, but her teammate missed a layup that would've won it.

Ziebel had 33 points. I don't have her full line yet because four minutes of film is missing. But here is what she had minus those four minutes. Hopefully, a boxscore will show up.

28 points (9-18 FG, 6-11 3-PT, 4-4 FT), 10 rebs, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 block

Kennedy Smith #11 White vs Jordan Lee #22 Black - 12/30

Kennedy Smith #11 White vs Jordan Lee #22 Black - 12/30

Both are very good. Lots of skills and good fundamentals. Smith will be an excellent wing and Lee, a really good 2 guard. Both are obviously good enough to play at UConn but I've got that "staying in SoCal feeling" on these two. Tough to get kids out of there unless they've got that Brady mindset.

Kennedy Smith #11 White vs Jordan Lee #22 Black - 12/30

Enjoyed the post, thanks @SluconnHusky.

Jordan sure looks like a basketball player . . . and plays like one. Looked pretty quick a couple of times.

Kennedy has a nice-looking long shot.

Looked on ESPN 2024 recruits and the only commitment showing is Olson to Michigan. Olson rated 7th while Ziebell sits at 5th.

Did Sluconn say UConn is recruiting her?

Did Sluconn say UConn is recruiting her?

Hamilton Neill on his UConn Womens Basketball Plus podcast says Dailey is now following Abii. That would indicate UConn recruiting her.

Call it whatever you want. Following on social media is now one of the ways coaches initiate the recruiting process with most kids.

I did, a couple weeks ago.

reminds me a bit of former recruiting target Chloe Kitts Two different players. I think this kid is more athletic and more physical than Kitts at a much younger age. I'd like to see her expand her game outside the paint area. She's got a lot of upside.
