Some good athleticism coming in next year.

She played very well, she’s improved a lot in a year. Speed and quickness to burn.

Kelis and KK are going to be the speedy little guards that drove UConn crazy a few years ago.

Kelis dominated a really good team!

But what made IMG head coach Frank Oliver Jr. the most excited, was her efforts on the defensive end. Although noting that Fisher’s offensive skill set and athletic nature is hard to match, Fisher held Long Island Lutheran’s Taylor Brown – who scored 32 points in her last game against Bullis a week ago – to just 14 points on 5-16 shooting.

“When I first came here last year, I challenged her to guard the best player on the other team,” Oliver Jr. said. “I said, ‘You can be an elite defender.’ That’s where she can initially find her niche at UConn, and then they’ll be able to see, she can score in bunches.”

...

“She’s not shy, she’s made for the big stage,” said Oliver Jr. “Some players are big time players, and they shine in the brightest and hottest moments. Today was one of those moments, and you could see she was very comfortable playing in this type of environment. It almost fuels her.”

IMG's Kelis Fisher is ready to excel at UConn two years after committing

Despite already being committed to play at the next level, Fisher didn’t take things easy. Instead, she worked even harder, trying to improve her game as much as possible.

"Kelis plays a little bit bigger than she is and is a terrific rebounder for a guard," Auriemma said. "She's shooting it better than she was a few years ago. She's fearless when she plays and I think that she can be a defensive force in our program as well as offensively. I think a lot of her and am excited to have her here.


"As I've watched her career she does take breaks during a game. There are times she is totally dominant and there are times she kind of let the game just pass her by. That becoming less and less of an issue will help prepare her for what's next in the summer. She has a great opportunity coming here next year to do great things and make an impact."

I found this interesting:

“Fisher wears uniform No. 1 for IMG Academy but is well aware that number is not available at UConn. She originally asked for No. 3, the number of one of her role models Diana Taurasi. But she changed her mind and requested No. 7, her first uniform number when she started playing when she was 7-years-old. She would be the first to wear No. 7 at UConn as uniforms with numbers 6-9 became available to NCAA players only two years ago”

It’s very frustrating that I can’t find articles on IMG’s games even here in Florida @BRS24 anything in your area? I know they’re 16-3 and play a national schedule. Montverde is the next game on 2/19 at 7:00 pm.

We have Spectrum here and I'm not seeing anything on the calendar as of now.
