Could we maybe come up with something besides BS? How about
plain old "Breanna"?

well we could do it like they do on the orange board and use names like "Lyssi" and "Kinna" and "Miko" and "Draya" and "Izzy" and "Schmoopie".

ok, i made the last one up, but they are all equally cloying. I do agree, tho, that calling her "BS" is, well, BS. lol. Perhaps we could call her "Bre", or "B-Stew" even. at least with the duo of Brianna's (Brianna Banks and Breanna Stewart), calling one of the BB won't cause any headaches!

My only fear is she playing too much hoops for her age. When doe her body get to rest?......

If that's your only fear, I wouldn't worry too much. During school season she doesn't play many games.
 
Breanna is UN be liev able
She is Tina Renee Maya and EDD all rolled into one. If you doubt me watch her.
 
I guess BMS doesn't work either?!

Bree will see very little time as a traditional center (a 5) at UConn.

For the Huskies, she will play mostly at the 4 and the 3. (And -- if there is ever a necessity -- half the team is ill for a game, or some such) she can play both the 1 and the 2. "Versatility" is Bree's middle name.

Agree

100% agree. I think her talents would be maximized at the 3 or 4.
 
quick question.. anyone know if that 7foot girl from jersey is even getting recruited by anyone?
 
Let's see. . . .

Breanna Stewart is 6'4" with an amazing (reported) 6'10" wingspan.

She has played well in international competition and spectacularly well at the HS level.

She is now a senior in HS.

She has committed to enroll at UConn in fall 2012.

Those are facts.

I can hardly wait to see her play in a national flag blue + white UConn wcbb uniform.

And that, ladies and gents, is what causes my barely controllable drooling.

6-10 is the name KML was calling her with the U19 team.
 
Stewart led the Pan AM team in scoring, rebounds and blocks, but only was 3rd in steals, hence obviously has a lot of work to do in that area. Also only had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks in the last game against Jamaica, but maybe she would have done better if she played more than 14 minutes. I'm not sure what this board sees in her, you (the board) obviously believe she will be a special player.
(Above tongue-in-cheek).

Can "Schmoopie" play in the post :)
 
Marvadene "Bubbles" Anderson is at Rutgers Prep. She's a 6'11" center, not ranked in HoopGurlz top 100.

Guess which one she is in the team photo?

That's her in the red hair, holding the trophy -- standing in front of the 8 footer.
 
With Xylina going elsewhere, I sort of think we should take a flier on Bubbles. Chris Dailey has a tremendous track record with developing posts. Why not give it a shot? Bring her in as a change of pace. If she can D up on opposing posts and catch high entry passes, it seems like she'd be a pain in the butt to deal with, esecially if you've already spent 15 minutes trying to handle Stef Dolson. I completely trust Geno and CD to make this decision, but I think it'd be interesting to see what CD could do with a very raw player like her.
 
Geno passed on that 6-10 kid that ended up at Georgetown because she was too much of a project. I'll be darned if I can remember the kid's name, which should tell you all you need to know about someone who's strongest point is her height rather than her ability as a basketball player.

Last I heard Rutgers was involved with Bubbles, she has been at a number of Rutgers games last season. Haven't heard anything as of late, other then she did take an official visit to South Florida a couple weeks ago.
 
If Rutgers can't get her to games and have the best chance when she is attending the Rutgers Prep then there are big problems.

I think Stewart will play the 4 primarily.......The 3 to create matchup problems and take advantage of the other teams shorter and less athletic 3's ; and the 5 in a pinch.

UConn is fortunate to have such a deep roster that it doesnt have to play Stewart at the 5 every night. They can move her around during the game to create any situational matchup problem they desire or they want. She can be just that good.

I am not convinced that Stewart will see most of her time on the court as a traditional ONE.

Ha. The jury's out on that one.
