March 2020 UConn Recruiting Thread [merged]

[Kevinmac]

I think Aubrey is 2' taller and probably has a longer wingspan, maybe by 4-6".

I saw Aubrey in 1 game as a high school junior. For a 5-minute stretch, she played like Maya Moore--steals, blocks, rebounds, layups, 3-pointer, etc.

Based on my most recent observations, Mir appears to be the better shooter at the present time. But Aubrey shot well in high school.

Who has the greater upside? Not sure. Both are reasonably skilled, hyper-athletic, and great kids.

Aubrey has no shooting form from 5 ft shot to 3 point line. Muir can create her own shot. Can shoot within foul lane and create her shoot. Aubrey will play when a defensive player is needed.

Aubrey shot pretty well in high school. Give her time! Gabby was lacking a shot as a freshman, and she became a 2-time All-American.

Harmon was held out for violating team rules. Yuck.

3/6

Saylor Poffenbarger: 32 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 10 steals, 3 blocks


Green said the Lions weren’t awestruck playing against Poffenbarger, but there were several moments throughout the game in which Liberty’s coach cracked a smile in watching the junior forward flash her skills.

“Therein likes a true blessing,” Green said about facing a future Division I player. “Some of these kids, and probably even me, we’ll get our mugs on ‘SportsCenter’ when they do those little [flashbacks in a few years].”

Liberty enjoys hot start, but Middletown recovers and rolls to 2A quarterfinal win

Eight minutes into Friday night’s Class 2A state quarterfinal saw Liberty filled with exuberance and Middletown looking for an adjustment. The Knights did just that, and try as the Lions did …

Kiki Rice is very special--Gatorade POY as a FRESHMAN in 2 sports, soccer and basketball. Azzi lost out, likely due to her injury.

Triple-double for Saylor. A quadruple-double next year would not surprise me. She is extremely versatile!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Rori Harmon not likely to play tomorrow either. Be interesting to know what UConn thinks about this.

Bad, bad, bad.

This will hand Duncanville the title on a silver platter.

Saylor draws a crowd. This was from Wednesday's game against Oakdale. She's being fouled by at least 2 players.

Video highlights from Thursday's Cathedral Catholic win. Plenty of Isuneh Brady.

3/5/20 Girls Basketball: Cathedral Catholic 63, Orangewood Academy 47 -

Round two of the Division I Southern California state basketball tournament, eight seed Orangewood Academy visiting top seed Cathedral Catholic. The Spartans get a game-high 20 points from senior Sydney Gandy as they lead the Dons at halftime. But Cathedral is the top seed for a reason...

I think she is the next PG recruit after Nika and Paige

3/6


Poffenbarger, a UConn commit, spent much of the game looking for second-chance points by crashing the offensive boards or posting up on the low block and maneuvering around or through defenders. With that emphasis on being around the basket, she went 9-of-11 from the free-throw line.

...

During Middletown’s 19-0 second quarter run, Saylor Poffenbarger also got her teammates involved, passing out of a double-team and finding Shipley for a back-door layup and then driving the lane and kicking the ball out to Bri Horman for a 3-pointer.

Poffenbarger even provided some entertainment for Green, using a crisp crossover dribble to shake a defender around the free-throw line and then hitting a fadeaway jumper. Even with his team down 27 points at the time, Green grinned and chuckled.

“I have been truly blessed to coach 19 years consecutively, and I will not be denied the opportunity to enjoy basketball as a purist,” Green said. “She puts in the work, and I can only respect kids who put in the work like that when that’s the result of putting in that kind of work. There’s nothing you can do but enjoy the beauty of it.”

Over the summer, Poffenbarger said she put in a lot of work with her trainer, Larry Gray, on using the dribble to create space for open jumpers — inside and outside the arc.

“She wanted to really get her mid-range jumper going because she didn’t want to be known as a 3-point shooter,” Amy Poffenbarger said. “She wanted to be an all-around player.”

Knights turn tables on Lions, advance to state semifinals

MIDDLETOWN — They certainly weren’t used to this.

Pure UConn DNA.

... Saylor Poffenbarger created instant offense for the Knights by stripping Lions players. Held scoreless in the first quarter after her usually effective 3-point shot wasn’t falling early in the game, Poffenbarger found several other ways to make an impact, finishing with 32 points, 11 rebounds, 10 steals and three blocked shots.

reminds me a bit of the photo of Christyn Williams being surrounded by defenders in high school although I don't think she even had the ball at the time...........
