Saylor has NBA 3-pt range.

Interesting that both Saylor and Mir talk about defense as the main point of emphasis.

Great videos. Thanks to everyone who posts them. Hopkins was playing a patsy, much like UConn last night. Difference was that Hopkins was ahead 50 or so to 13 at halftime. I have to keep reminding myself that the right highlight video of the Memphis game could make the Huskies look like a shoo-in for the title this year.

I hope Bueckers can adjust to passing to statues next season.

Just kidding. The next few years are going to be fun.

More Bueckers highlights from Tuesday (1/14):

from a pure basketball standpoint I think she was ready to play college ball two years ago.......................it must be getting a bit boring playing in games like this.............

Decided to watch Plath Gabriel last night. Bradford Christian plays their home games at the “Y” in Plaistow,NH. My take is about the same as a Geno’s. She’s “BIG” and is a major project. She does set herself well in the low post but can’t finish at a high percentage. Must have missed at least 10 shots from within 3 feet with her spin moves. When facing up she made about 8 within 2 feet. She can run the floor but doesn’t seem to have quickness.
Defensively not much there. Other teams best player and star of the game , Caroline Ducharme drove the lane repeatedly for scores. Ole !! Place accent mark over “e”. While she never attempted a shot from beyond 3 feet, I noticed during warmups she was accurate up to 15 feet. Her shot release point was about chin high. IMHO if she wants to get minutes at the next level D2 or low D1 would have been the way to go.

Nothing super new here but a nice spotlight on Aaliyah Edwards:

I like the Kayla Alexander description of aliyah as fearless. That is a very critical trait to have at UConn

Bob Corwin on early January's Blue Star Invite:


Azzi Fudd, 5-11, shooting guard, St. John’s College High School (Washington, DC)

Fudd is just returning from an ACL tear this past spring. Having received a number of national high school player-of-the-year awards for 2018-2019, Fudd’s stroke looks a fine as ever (12 points in the win versus Rutgers Prep) but her movement is not yet up to speed. Slow and steady should be the plan for recovery!



Kiki Rice, 6-0, point guard, Sidwell Friends School (Washington, DC)

Rice was recently profiled on the site. However, a 42-point performance in her team’s win over St. Rose deserves special recognition. While running her team’s offense, she hit all kinds of shots and was deadly from the foul line.

that doesn't prove anything................should stood in the same spot for every shot...................

 

[JonathanXIV]

Not really. She missed two shots in a minute. I mean, in a 40 minute game that's 80 misses.

Below was from a writers post on a So Cal Forum. It is not from an article link that I can find, thus no link.

....

Cathedral Catholic/UConn Commit sophomore Isuneh "Ice" Brady had a career-high 36 points, including 21 of the Dons' 28 in the second half, to go along with 15 rebounds and five blocks.

Love the quick release and the range.

Not even in the same ballpark as her friend Fudd.

Love the quick release and the range.

her defender was outside the arc!!
