Kenny Kallina's Top 36 Basketball Players

[PAHuskeyFan]

When the complainers start again this year with the tired "UCONN gets all the best players"... all we have to do is reference this list.

I get a kick out of these self-appointed "expoits" who clearly know nothing about the game of basketball creating these bogus player rankings. This guy has Gabby assessed as high as #27? What a joke! I'd bet that if all the coaches in Div 1 not named Geno were offered the opportunity to select five players from other teams to augment their own squads, not a one would want her. With talentless players like Gabby on the roster, UConn, as a team, should be awarded a pre-season ranking no higher than #27. Sorry, my friends...it's gonna be a long season for us!

After what Gabby did against South Carolina and Notre Dame last year! Really against Wilson and Turner, there should be No question about Gabby being in the top 5 with Pheesa, Lou and Azura right with her!

IMO Mitchell was not AA last year.

One glaring ACC omission: where's Asia Durr? Last time I checked, she was playing in Japan, not Ms. Hines-Allen (which actually surprised me given who coached that team). Anyways, I'd give the nod to Asia over incoming frosh such as Westbrook, to say the least.

Well, it opining beats wondering when the NCAA is going to rule on transfer waivers!

This was the first thing I noticed other than the low UConn grades. I took these rankings with a very little grain of salt. At least he/she got the first three correct.

Victoria "37% shooter, 23% 3-point shooter" Vivians better than all UConn players save for Stevens.

We really need a rolling on the floor emoji.

On it:

 

[MSSportsGuy]

1. Aja Wilson
2. Naphessa Collier
3. Katie Lou Samuelson
4 . Azura Stevens
5. Kelsey Mitchell
6. Lexie Brown
7. Gabby Williams
8. Kalani Brown
9. Asia Durr
10. Sophie Cunningham

Just my two cents. I left off Turner since we know she's not playing this year. His list is ridiculous, but some thoughts on some of his names.

Kelsey Mitchell is strictly offense and by no means a terrific shooter, but if she doesn't shoot and score in bunches, OSU has no chance to win. She has to score for them to be competitive. Maybe she is one dimensional, but I suspect she is doing what she's been asked.

We have no idea about the freshmen Westbrook and Carter, but both will be asked to step up and provide leadership and offense for their teams to win, they will have a chance to shine. If they actually do remains to be seen.

Kalina is Dead Wrong
How could he have Brittany McPhee of Stanford at #21. She should be in the Top 5.
She would be the Best Player on UConn.
