I mean I think our chances with getting strong are pretty good. I mean she follows Morgan, and she also follows her “would be” teammates Allie and cheli. She doesn’t follow future teammates from other schools too. Just from watching her highlights she’s the number 1 player we should be focusing on. I mean at 6”2(looks like 6”3 to me) she’s so versatile and physical. She shoots the three and mid range so effortlessly and is so fast and sneaky in transition. Makes brilliant passes and bodies you down low. She’s very unique and stands out in the class. If she did commit that would round out the class really good. It would be even better if we got arianna, maybe tac, maybe maybe koval(doubt it)

Not to mention she also follows aaliyah, Aubrey, Paige, kk, and ice
I saw that shot you are talking about and I agree that she is playing against shorter competition and it worked. Dorka did the same thing until some point this past season against taller competition when she finally would use her left hand for shot after having it blocked trying to go left and shooting with her right hand.I hear you. Her offense maybe a little better than Liv’s was in high school. I was thinking of the moment when she drives left and puts the ball up at the rim with her right hand. If you’re taller than everyone else (like she clearly is in high school, and as Liv was too) you can get away with that. But in D1, where there’s lots of bigs, that’s gonna get blocked.
And now I have to tease you a little bit: top spin? That would be interesting to see. Perhaps you meant back spin? It’s not like she’ll be allowed to bring a tennis racket on the court… though that might be a cool development in the sport.
But I think you’re right about Liv’s shooting form. The ball seemed like an alien object in hands. This girl looks a bit more comfortable with the ball in her hands.

It's Sarah Strong...in the first sentence of his/her post; "I mean I think our chances with getting strong are pretty good."

I'm not convinced Strong is coming to Storrs but i think she would be a total game-changer if she did......I don't think UConn has ever had a player with her unique set of skills along with a powerful body type like that........she's practically unguardable.......
Dropped her and lost her man on defense. Can't do that playing for Geno

The U16 team won its semi by 64 points yesterday. Woliczko had 24 points, 13 rebs in 18 minutes.
The US plays for the championship tonight against Canada.

US defeats Canada by 20 to win the U16 title.
Jerzy Robinson the best player in the tourney and in the title game. Woliczko with another big game as well.

Only watched USA in the gold medal game and man was she fun to watch play. Definitely the tournament MVP based on what I saw last night.

Here's a follow-up on the All-Tournament Team, which has two from the Gold Medal team (U.S.) and one each from 2 (Canada), 3 (Argentina) and 4 (Puerto Rico).

Jerzy Robinson named MVP; Woliczko, Morell, Nieves, Parchment round out All-Star Five
YUCATAN (Mexico) - After leading USA to the gold medal, Jerzy Robinson had another reason to celebrate, as she was named the Most Valuable Player at the 2023 FIBA U16 Women's Americas Championship.

It’s unusual how quickly she can get off the floor and move her feet. Her lateral quickness and reflexes are excellent also. Very similar to Fournier on the interior but a much better shooter and two years younger.

As I said in another post, at 14 Robinson could play at the U18 level right now. Her court awareness and understanding of how to use her body are off the charts for her age. Add in her skillset and that’s how you get the best player in her class by far.

At 6'2" Morgan sure looks like a very versatile player...especially on offense. Good handle/shoots
from all 3 levels...quick enough to be effective against big defenders....tall enough to shoot over smaller ones.
A year still to develop....see her as in the rotation from day one...no matter who leaves...or doesn't leave...come May 2024.

If these are legit, add to her already formidable skill set/ repertoire..

This seems... odd? Following the mens game I've always considered high school hopping a bit of a red flag and this is certainly raising my eyebrows now.

I love how you think.
When Morgan Cheli gets to Storrs and exhibits the same hard working attitude as this year's Freshmen, and follows AE's mom's motto of "the biggest room in the house is the "Room for Improvement," UCONN will be stacking up NC's like in the old days of Stewie, Morgan & MoJeff [sounds like a Law firm...]
