July recruiting thread

Shade's going to play the 2. That I would bet anything on.

Maybe Griggs would be seen as a real good backup at 2 and 3. She's athletic, quick, and supposedly a good defender.

I found 17 minutes of Griggs. Very similar to Samuels. Maybe handles the ball better but really comparable skills.

@jordybeballin
long, wreaks havoc on defense can also knock dwn shots IQ off the charts!

Hasn't been mentioned as a UConn target yet, but that could quickly change.

Shaq's daughter 6'3" versatile forward Me'arah O'Neal skyrockets to #2 ranking for '24 by ASGR after EYBL tournament. Compared her game to Katie Lou Samuelson. Was unranked before this and only #59 by ESPN.

Since Chloe Briggs may still be on the radar, here she is from Chicago earlier this week:

Truly a shocking jump at ASGR. Kind of hard to fathom how Shaq's daughter could be off the radar or relatively undiscovered. Equally surprising is how she is compared to Katie Lou. I guess the free throw shooting genes skipped a generation! Ha!

I have been waiting for an update and posts about one of my favorite players, Olivia Olson. Seems she has dropped off the face of BB coverage. Any info and updates would be appreciated. Love all the AAU tourney updates. gives us a whole new group of perspective POI's to follow. I'm giving a wink and nod to Ms. Shaq, anyway interested in who you all have as your new top three POI's and potential recruits. Please help educate me, too many new names for me to keep straight.

Here's why I like '24 Olivia Olson. I saw a local TV news interview with her (I think after 9th grade) and when asked how she was spending her summer, she described a business she'd started. This kid is all industry.

Also like '23 Delaney Thomas -- 6'3", but a big 6'3" -- kids bounce off her, and she's clearly the anchor of her HS team.

And '24 Blanca Thomas, though she's gonna be hard to pry loose from the Carolinas.

I believe she's on the Under Armour circuit, which may get less attention from the national scouts.

Indeed, well, to be clear the quote was "This young ⭐️ has Rasheed Wallace (NBA) perimeter shot and initial Katie Samuelson (WNBA) skillset. With strength around the rim)"

But she's got a smooth confident stroke from deep for sure.

I agree it's hard to think Shaq's daughter wouldn't by default get attention, but she only averaged 5 ppg as a frosh in HS and seems to have played a lot with (behind/overshadowed) by Juju Watkins, Mackenly Randolph, and I think Breya Cunningham in some Sumer ball. So more a matter of her suddenly blossoming.

In video she reminds me of Napheesa and Morgan Tuck but more athletic. She's quite versatile but not at the expense of mixing it up inside like a post.



I can't imagine Geno won;'t be interested. Has a very unassuming demeanor while playing that you might not expect from a superstar's kid.

Like her pick and roll and pick and pop game. Would easily fit into the Huskie offense.

Anyone know the full list of 12? or any other invitee's

Her dad did go to LSU, so Kim may be on her radar.

Lots of Ashlynn Shade in this new comp (#12):

I wasn't keeping score or anything, but Ashlynn scored about 50 pts in this clip!

There's an awesome pass at 1:17, just an overhand whip through the lane.

Man I love her physicality it’s like a more physical MoJeff
