Kayleigh invited to USA Basketball U19 team trials

[uconnever]

Heckel made the team.



No chavez is pretty interesting.

Maybe the only college player?, not sure what the competition will be like but she needs to be playing college level players. Love her game and think she will be good but I don’t think she got a lot accomplished last year. I look at this year at UConn as her freshman year. Don’t know why I just do.

I don’t think I agree with that. She played a lot more at USC than she would have played at UConn last year. Do you consider Cheli and Ziebell freshmen? I think Heckel is further along in her college development.

Is Kayleigh the only college player on the team?

No. Lee was a frosh at Texas, McGill was a frosh at Florida, and Socka-Ngueyen was a frosh at UCLA who transferred to Indiana. In contrast, Sydney "Bean" Douglas is class of 2028. A point forward listed in the 6'5"-6'7" range.

Also making the U19 team are UConn POI Saniya Hall, Addison Bjorn, Jerzy Robinson, Kate Harpring, and Sydney Douglas.

They would need to play games with a 2nd basketball………

Had she played against KK, Paige and Chen every day in practice and learning from the UConn coaches, I think she’d be a better player today than she already is. Just my opinion. And I still think she should be playing against college players this summer. Her age is her age and obviously the staff let her go so.

This experience could be good for leadership development. I assume at USC everything in the backcourt revolved around Juju. She should be a leader on this team running the show gaining confidence as a PG. I assume the coaching staff want her confident.

I would love for us to get at least 2 of those 5.

I get your point, but to be honest, I sort of consider Ziebell semi-freshman given her limited playing time last season. That said, she has the benefit of a years worth of coaching and practices and playing time on some big stages. Actually, don't think that we saw "the real Ziebell" last season. I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do this year.

For what it's worth, Morgan's quick adjustment to high-level college ball lead year was impressive. I'm also looking forward to seeing what she will do this year, when she's fully healthy.

Liv McGill was a teammate of Paige's at Hopkins....

The other thing is it's good for Heckel to be with all those potential recruits. She is most likely still in the full out excitement and awe phase of being a husky so she can do some recruiting.

This I did think of. And agree.
