July 2020 UCONN recruiting thread

[eebmg]

And if she's going to hit that jump shot, it's got to go through UConn!

I'll just end \by saying that UConn is clearly top dog.

 

[Kaizen]

I like this one..

Sorry i'm not really on social platforms. Does anyone know why Skylar Diggins has so many followers?

1) she’s pretty 1a)she’s pretty lol —she has many male followers because guys like pretty girls who can play basketball. I don’t mean this in a negative way at all 2) she turned notre dame around and gained a lot of followers from that 3) lil wayne showed her a lot of support and showed up at a game in south bend I think and wore her jersey to a concert 4) I think she was signed to nike or adidas I’m not sure and they marketed and promoted her for new products. Many young girls wore that headband that ties up like the ones she wore in her time at ND 5) she’s signed to roc nation, which is a management company of jay-z’s

The only players at any level I could find with more than Paige were:

Skylar Diggins: 1M
Hailey Van Lith: 619K
Candace Parker: 617K
Sabrina Ionescu: 519K

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Paige pass them up (maybe not Diggins) by the end of her UConn career.

Hailey Van Lith is a surprise.

 

[Go/huskies]

Any up dates on Rayah Marshall? I noticed she doesn’t have a social media presence, kind of surprising for a recruit now days. It was rumored that she might have had a possible offer from UConn at one point.

I just wish Azzi would decide already. She’s been recruited by same schools since 8th grade. Just say you’re going to UConn already please.

The only thing more painful than not getting a commit is losing a previous signing. I feel the pain but suspect once Azzi makes up her mind, it will be for the right reasons based on adequate due diligence.

If we measure the angles spanned by the different colleges, UConn is at 90 degrees (as well as being at the top and closest to her brain), all other schools 45 degrees.

Please calculate the "Hartley Units" of separation for each school emblem. I am convinced you are on the right track here. Geometric analysis was spot on! Maths never lie.

Hartley units are linear measurements..not angular measurements...

 

[Bama fan]

I understand that concept. Perhaps I should rephrase it as units of separation " from her to them". Hope you feel better now. Thank you for the helpful hint. I want to make this very easy to understand. Maths are hard as we all know!

From a Minnesota-based NBA trainer:

She has until Spring of next year to decide. She will probably decide when she and her family are ready or, if she has already decided, she will announce when she and her family are ready.

Paige and Azzi have been working out together everyday in the D.C. area.

Really? UConn sector is a right angle. Making me work.

And we all agreed we need a big!

Not all, but most would agree that UConn needing a BIG is a “perpetual“ need.

 

[Carnac]

should this be captioned "welcome to MY HOUSE"

Why not? This type of hype began the day she committed.

 

[DaBball]

Guess who (I think) is sitting on the bench for Azzi’s team?

 

[HopJim]

Not all, but most would agree that UConn needing a BIG is a “perpetual“ need.

What teams would not welcome a full All American "Big?"

 

[Carnac]

What teams would not welcome a full All American "Big?"

I can't think of any.

[BobbyJ]

I agree with him. She has the rare ability to control the pace of the game and make it go at the speed she wants. It obviously may not show immediately while she adjusts to the speed and level of play but by mid season I believe it will be evident.

 

[eebmg]

Its a great acknowledgement but a bit surprising since the question said best athlete and not best player. Paige is very athletic but you think of best athletes as 'jump out of the gym players' who dominate 'because' of their athleticism Anyhow, you can never mention Paige enough.

 

[DEpup]

I think this is a lot of semantics but I'd say Paige has the best command of the athleticism she has rather than saying she is the best pure athlete. Again just being picky with the words.

 

[Alydar]

Actually

I think this is a lot of semantics but I'd say Paige has the best command of the athleticism she has rather than saying she is the best pure athlete. Again just being picky with the words.

Bueckers' athleticism is very high. She was easily the fastest player on a HS team filled with future D1 players and she can jump to the rim. Not the best but not bad. And although how fast you run and how high you jump are the most common athletic measures, so is how accurately you can shoot and pass. Bueckers also has incredible control of her body around the basket. I've never seen a HS or college player with the assortment of shots she can call on. And she MAKES the shots, something most hotshot ball handlers don't do.

In this case I think athlete is used to mean any sporting or athletic participant, not measure athleticism.
