July recruiting period underway (AAU)

Charli has l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g legs!

The same thing crossed my mind. She's all legs.

 

[Charliebball]

UConn has been watching her as have a number of other teams

Where did you hear of UConn's interest?

Charli has l-o-o-o-o-o-n-g legs!

And very long arms.

I dislike comparing women players to men players but in Charli's case I can not help doing so. She reminds me of Sam Perkins who played with Jordan and Worthy at UNC and had a nice NBA career. He had long legs and long arms which allowed him to play bigger.

without spilling the beans let'st just say that when it comes to the Jersey kids my sources are well placed from Bergen County down to the Shore Conference........Miller's stock has risen markedly in the past year and she continued her fine play in recent international competition, she's an ESPN top 20 player right now and if her play continues to improve she will be a top 10 '19 recruit.................I hope to see her along with Mabrey, Masonius, Watson and two of the best eighth graders in the country Adams and Pissot in a few weeks at NBS where my daughter will be working out and getting drubbed by many of the top NJ based recruits

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Ok, fair enough.

Ran into a short comp of Destanni Henderson our resident Gamecocks fans might like.

Henderson with an impressive stat agaisnt the Missouri Phenom today with 30 points, 8 assist, 3 steals, and 3 rebounds. She and Zippy Broughton make quite the duo for Essence Purple.

We had a kid from Syracuse with long arms. She had a nice career.

Pheesa has pretty long arms.

Among the men, Phil Jackson and Kevin McHale had long arms. No off-the-rack suits for these guys.

This guy had long arms too. And huge hands.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

15 pts, 7 rebs, 2 blks for Charli Collier in her last game of the weekend.

 

[CocoHusky]

All these comparisons of Charli Collier's length to male players was making me a little squeamish.
Charli has serious length! When She comes on board UCONN will have some serious length with Azura (hopefully), Charli, KLS & Napheesa. Can't wait.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Serious guns too!

"Paige Bueckers - Another talented 2020 player the Cardinals have been watching. She's a big-time shooter and a little flash and flair to her game. UConn was three-deep for one game of Bueckers, who is playing against girls' her own age and not playing up a level."

U of L women's hoops recruiting

Really impressed with this player.

Excellent find and great news.

I presume three-deep means in terms of coaches watching. I know CD was at the Run4theRoses tourney where Bueckers apparently played.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Bueckers is still playing with the North Tartan 15 squad which won its division in Louisville. Bueckers sustained a gash above her eye in the process.

It would be a sin for her to play for anybody other then Geno.............it doesn't take a genius to see that Bueckers is a perfect fit to run in the UConn system...........she has future All American written all over her.............

When I first saw Collier over a year ago, she obviously had skills, but she struck me as a big girl who needed to work on her fitness.

In the last year+ Collier has become lean and strong. I know she asks Geno & the UConn coaches for input on what she needs to work on. One of those suggestions must have been to spend time in the weight room.

When Collier shows up on campus in 2018, she will have a "college ready" body and she's going to be a force. God help the high school kids that have to play against her this coming season.

Another big event, the Nike Nationals, begins tomorrow (Mon) in Chicago. Most of the big names should be there. Here is the schedule in PDF:

[uconnfan68]

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"

Doug Bruno right in front of him. I think he and Geno are ok together. ;^)

any chance these will be streamed?

It seems as though most of the streamed AAU ball is now through a site called Flohoops that requires a monthly or yearly subscription. The days of watching free on the Cube site appear to be over.
