makes today feel a whole lot better.......she's quick, quick, quick......for those who haven't seen this video

As I don't follow the recruiting thread religiously, I have a big request. Can someone in a fit of inspiration provide a one- or two-sentence summary of what makes KK Arnold a special recruit?
UConn surely needs another back court shooter in that class but her shot looks pretty good to me.....can't say much about her defense........She is very fast and skilled, however I’m rather lukewarm on her for UCONN. It is a dual concern- very little of her quicks translates to the defensive end of the floor @ her size the defense is going to get many clean looks over the top. Also keep in mind that Paige has an option to go to the WNBA before KK sets foot on campus. That would mean that Nika or KK may have to be the UCONN starting PG for the 23-24 season because neither can play shooting guard.
After today's game, I'd be thrilled about Breya Cunningham!the only recruit i will get excited about is Paige Bueckers’ clone
Well Shade has been visiting every major program except UConn. She’s even giving mid-majors multiple visits like Tennessee. Doesn’t seem like interested too much in UConnWhile there is certainly room for another guard in the class of 2023, Arnold's commitment does potentially lockout Shade who has a similar skillset.
I can see her staying in Louisiana and playing for Mulkey.Now let get Mikaylah Williams ..
The kid is just starting her junior year of high school which means two more years to develop before she sets foot on campus. I know you know this but something tells me that Geno has already discussed perimeter defense with her. Mechanically, I like her outside shot and appears to have three point range. If Crystal Dangerfield can excel, this kid certainly has a chance to do so.She is very fast and skilled, however I’m rather lukewarm on her for UCONN.

Lol you really think Tennessee is a mid majorWell Shade has been visiting every major program except UConn. She’s even giving mid-majors multiple visits like Tennessee. Doesn’t seem like interested too much in UConn
it's been awhile since UConn's had a true "aircraft carrier"..........there's something to be said for a space eater that is in total control of the backboards.........I think DeBerry to be in the ONO mold while Patterson and Brady are "destroyers" which will be great but another agile big presence down low really would be a difference maker........the question is if you can only have the bigger Cunningham or the skilled Toomey which one would you prefer?After today's game, I'd be thrilled about Breya Cunningham!
Maybe she did ….and decided UConn needed her helpI thought with the time of her announcement, that she was waiting on the results of this game to select her team...
I heard she was 6’2”!@KK commits to UCONN and instantly grows 4 inches. She’s not 5’10” folks her prior listed height of 5’6” was overly generous.

She’s got some time to continue to develop. Kid’s only a high school junior.She is very fast and skilled, however I’m rather lukewarm on her for UCONN.

I'm OK with both of them staying out west. Give me C. Toomey & Mikaylah Williams lace em up and we'll see what happens.Im gonna shoot my shot here but….
I think both Watkins and Cunningham stay on the west coast. Pac 12 is on a roll with recruiting and I think it continues with the 23 class.

Ashley Shade and Mikaylah Williams are also both HS junior and both appear to be more developed and a better fit for UCONN IMO.The kid is just starting her junior year of high school which means two more years to develop before she sets foot on campus.

Her size bothers you doesn't it?Ashley Shade and Mikaylah Williams are also both HS junior and both appear to be more developed and a better fit for UCONN IMO.
So you’re telling me that every UConn fan does not have that same perception of Tennessee?Lol you really think Tennessee is a mid major![]()
no she's just getting the riffraff out of the way before the visit to her ultimate destination.........Well Shade has been visiting every major program except UConn. She’s even giving mid-majors multiple visits like Tennessee. Doesn’t seem like interested too much in UConn
all things being equal I'll take height any day....... Williams is 6'0" and Shade 5'9" or so they say......Her size bothers you doesn't it?![]()
