Then there's the seal, catch, and finish in the post in the second vid. Again, terrific post skills.

I well understand the excitement and anticipation regarding the arrival of Paige. I, too, am looking forward to her impact on the roster but the incoming recruit I am most interested in seeing is Aaliyah Edwards. A taller PG and PF is something that I believe will greatly enhance the line-up sooner rather than later.

You won't find a bigger Edwards cheerleader than me. I wanted her at UConn for nearly a year. Her skill, athleticism, frame, IQ, and effort level will make her a star.

Recent history, the highest touted prospects have not been leading their teams to State Championships in Washington.

3/4

Judea Watkins led Windward into the regional semis yesterday.


Watkins, just a freshman, scored 12 of her 20 points in the fourth quarter, coming up clutch when Windward needed her most.

“She has big-game blood,” Windward coach Vanessa Nygaard said. “She’s learning a lot. It’s easy to forget that she is still just a freshman and she makes errors, but she has got something special.”

Sierra Canyon girls basketball derailed in regionals by Windward’s stunning comeback

Windward overcomes a 10-point deficit with five minutes left to end the season for Sierra Canyon in the first round of the SoCal Regional playoffs.

Hopkins playoff game on right now:

 

[Sluconn Husky]

3/5

Paige Bueckers: 33 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3-PT, 11-11 FT), 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks

Hopkins is off to the state tourney with probably their toughest foe behind them.

 

[Huskee11]

Hopkins 86 - Wayzata 76. Paige with some big plays and free throws down the stretch.

I only watched the last six minutes or so but the quality of play was extremely high for high school basketball. A lot of Division I talent on the floor.

Some of the Minnesota Timberwolves were in the house.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Paige is clutch!

What was wrong? Did she only play 3 quarters?

 

[Zinethar]

I love the quote I saw earlier from her coach:" When plan A doesn't work then we go to plan P"

 

[MSGRET]

What was wrong? Did she only play 3 quarters?

She would have had more assists if the team had made more of their shots, I'd say at least 6 more of them.

 

[MilfordHusky]

HG lists Iriafen at 6'2". She looks 6'4".

 

[Mdoggie]

HG lists Iriafen at 6'2". She looks 6'4".

The real question is..... lol

She plays 6-4 because she gets off her feet. Great fundamental footwork and hands.

I saw the link after the game was over. Tight game and well worth watching. I've seen Wayzata's Stewart play 3 games at Hopkins and I don't think she missed 5 shots total. I think some midwest team is getting her. No flash but smart, strong, great shooter great hands.
Bueckers made 2 great defensive plays, chasing down a break and blocking the shot, and skying to intercept a high pass to what looked like a wide open Stewart under the basket. I'm pretty sure that the video of her making that "girl" dunk was real.

 

[MilfordHusky]

She plays 6-4 because she gets off her feet. Great fundamental footwork and hands.

But she's so much taller than everyone else.

But she's so much taller than everyone else.

That's their problem.

I’ve said it on here a couple of times how much I looooove Shay’s game. Imagine her and Ice coming in and playing together for four years. Whoa!
