January UConn Recruiting Thread

[Charliebball]

None of us are actually giving out jobs, the starting position at UCONN will be earned in practice as always. Experience and past performance at the collegiale level are Evina's advantages maybe her only ones I'm looking forward to it. It has been 3 years since UCONN has a 3 guards in the regular rotation and just a long since UCONN has had a credible backup PG.

hopefully a four woman guard rotation..................Westbrook, Williams, Beuckers and Muhl................

Evina was playing for Holly. Can you name a player that has developed to her potential at any position while playing for Holly?

No.

They will need rebounders, there is no way they will have a great season without a strong inside game. They will need to lock everyone in the weight room after the season.

Agree, which is why i'm predicting that Edwards will be a freshman starter.

She would match up with Smith better than anyone on the current roster IMO. She's 6-3, has a strong, sturdy frame, is very athletic, and has some skill too.

Jaelyn Bates missed Friday's game and is out nearly two weeks with a concussion.

I’m predicting Griffin gets that chance as being a productive sophomore on the court but unless Edwards is for real like you people say

Aubrey is a terrific wing @ 6’1”. UCONN needs better/bigger PF to take rebounding defensive pressure off ONO. Edwards is sturdy and 6’3” and plenty athletic. Megan is the starting wing until she moves on. Did you see Aubrey and Megan trying to guard Cox & Smith on Thursday night. They both tried! Right now Anna is ahead of Aubrey at that wing position also.

I like it. Nice high release and form. If she can repeat it in traffic she’ll really be dangerous. BTW, that’s some tenacious defense huh?

it's been a while since UConn had had a big bodied power forward with that kind of agility...............I can only imagine how good she'll be by the time she gets to Storrs..........................

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.

Two of the nation's top underclassmen shined in an entertaining, fast-paced showdown Saturday as Windward, ranked No. 8 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports, secured a 69-56 intersectional victory at No. 19 Cathedral Catholic.

Windward freshman JuJu Watkins scored 31 points, including 20 in the first half, in addition to 12 rebounds and four steals for Windward (14-3).

During the Wildcats' four-game winning streak, Watkins has 124 points, including a career-high 36 in Wednesday's 76-35 nonleague victory against Fairmont Prep.

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.

Who is in the picture wearing#4 with McClean? Is she a recruit?

that’s Saylor. Yup. She’s committed

Some Poffenbarger highlights from her matchup with Mir. You can see Mclean guarding her.

A pretty revealing 53 seconds. Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

What I saw is that Mir (#1 in red) didn't show much energy or aggression on defense. But you have to remember that these short excerpts are meant to highlight Saylor, not Mir, and to show offense, not defense.

I know a lot of friends and family read the forum so I'll keep my comments minimal. I realize it's a short sequence but what you mention is a big part of the game especially if it's a supposed rivalry type game in Maryland. Feel free to message me to discuss further.
