The top one must be Mikaylah Williams ranked #3 by ESPN.... Pretty good "Cross Country" score at nationals [25 - add the rankings and lowest score wins....], and Madison Booker is 97 None W 6-1 Germantown MS [vice Wisconsin]
 
New KK Arnold article:


Germantown High School Head Basketball Coach Matt Stuve said while Arnold has been blessed with significant physical gifts, she has never taken that for granted.

"I don't think I've ever seen her walk into the gym without a smile on her face," he said. "That's huge. Obviously, everyone recognizes her talent and ability, but kids generally love playing with her. I honestly believe she could be the 14th kid on our team and kids would enjoy playing with her just as much."

Stuve also points to Arnold's work ethic and determination to be a unifying force.

"She's always positive, upbeat, enjoyable to be around and really brings out the best in people," he said. "When you combine the talent with the kind of teammate she is, it just makes for a special experience. She's always worked hard to continue to improve and grow as a player. But she's also a humble kid and that's just awesome to see."

I really like this kid and Shade. Obviously GA realizes he may not get both in the same ‘23 class but he may be willing to take both without fear of having too many guards if he already knows he’s not getting any in the ‘22 class. IMO, both are better than Bransford and very comparable to Rice.

I am pretty sure that all of these "offers" have a significant asterisk attached to them -- something like, "UConn is looking for a certain number of guards (1 or 2) in the 2023 class, so as soon as we get that number of commitments, we will pull the other offers."

That would be the only sensible way for UConn to do business, and it also gives a player who knows that she wants to come to Storrs a big incentive to commit as early as possible.

Good Lord, the versatility of a UCONN front line forwards that includes Edwards, Brady, Patterson, Toomey and Booker would be HEAVENLY!

I like Toomey but would prefer Cunningham, Shade, and Fulwiley/Arnold! (Either one would be fine)

I'd have to disagree with most of this because it sounds too much like how everyone else goes about recruiting AKA-not the UCONN way. First and foremost Geno and the staff are not locking these kids into positions before they make offers. An example of that is Geno recently telling Saylor they will figure out her position when she gets to campus. If there is quality at a particular position in a class, UCONN is never afraid to make multiple offers and bring in seemingly duplicative players irrespective of the projected college position. These concepts of pulling an offer and first come first serve are not in keeping with the way UCONN has approached recruiting and would amount to drastic recent changes. I somewhat agree with @DaBball that this many "public" announcements of UCONN offers is a new trend. Offers at multiple positions though Eg. (Shade, Arnold) I believe to be a reflection of guard depth in this class.

Well, it does at least let us know who does and doesn't have one for bookkeeping purposes. Helps with the process of elimination. ;)

I think Rice will sign with UConn she follows and likes many of UConn players pics on IG

To be fair she follows many different basketball players on different teams and follows head coaches of other schools. I think that just goes with the territory of being a high level player, you just end up knowing and being friendly with other elite players.
 
JUNIORS: Isuneh “Ice” Brady
(Cathedral Catholic, San Diego) 6-4 C


This fairly clear cut winner of the Cal-Hi Sports State Freshman of the Year and State Sophomore of the Years honors got a real run from UCLA-committed Londynn Jones of top-ranked Corona Centennial, and also from Orangewood Academy star Hannah Stiles.


However, with the formula we use at Cal-Hi Sports for determining how to decide individual player honors, Brady makes it a trifecta.



Who recruits you is not a factor in the Cal-Hi Sports criteria, but there is a reason Brady, a 6-foot-3 post player who is the ESPNW No. 2 ranked center and No. 5 overall player from the Class of 2022, was offered by and verbally committed to Connecticut.

...

Brady only had one 30-point game, a 31-point effort with 18 rebounds in a rout of San Diego Scripps Ranch, but consistency is her game and her strength, and the reason UConn wanted her combined with her size and solid frame.
