In Louisville, where Geno is today (7/6), Charli Collier scored 15 points for Cy Fair.

Perhaps Geno's attention is on Rickea Jackson ('19) who had 17 points and 3 steals in a game Thursday afternoon. Haley Jones ('19) also playing at the event.

UConn targets Kylee Watson and Maddie Burke in action for the Philly Belles as well.

There are two events in Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville: the Run for the Roses and a NikeGirlsEYBL event.

I think Aliyah Boston is playing. North Tartan is there but I don't know whether Bueckers is.

Bueckers is not playing. She plays for the U15 team.

Boston is at the Run 4 the Roses event.

Thanks for doing this -- this evaluation period and the one later in July should find coaching staffs here, there and everywhere there are prospects to see and unknowns to learn about.

Just a quick question. When Geno or Staff show up at these events, do the other school coaches give a collective sigh whisper "Oh crap. UConn is here"

The PBR Super 64 tourney is underway:

I knew that whole Geno has slimmed down thing from the seminar video thread was just a dark shirt and a flattering camera angle.

the other coaches just hope the players they are scouting have a really bad day.........

I recall reading that Indiana felt they had a real shot at Kia Nurse...there was some connection there...maybe a relative.
The coach of Indiana was the current coach of the Ct. Sun. He was watching Kia at some point and a UConn coach showed up....maybe Shea. He saw her busily communicating with someone....he assumed it was a fellow UConn staffer...and he felt that she was focused on Kia. The article said that his heart dropped on the spot.

BTW: he seems to be doing a good job with the Sun...correct?

The connection of Curt Miller to the Nurse family goes way back when he was an assistant coach at Syracuse. At Syracuse he coached Raquel Nurse (later became McNabb). He also coached Kia's sister Tamika in college at Bowling Green and was HC at Indiana when Kia was being recruited.
Hays: Circuitous route finally lands Nurse at Bowling Green

7/7

Rickea Jackson continues to shine at the Indy EYBL: 28 points, 11 rebounds

Hayley Jones had a stat-stuffing game: 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks

Geno has moved on to the USJN event which I believe is the other one in Louisville containing more of the known UConn targets.

Bueckers is not playing. She plays for the U15 team.

Boston is at the Run 4 the Roses event.

Not according to this:

Walz spends the day at local events

"Walz and Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma were among the crowd of coaches watching 2020 standout Paige Bueckers."

Ok, then she must be at the Run4theRoses tourney. I don't see the North Tartan U15 team listed so not sure who she's playing with.
