Hey @Sluconn Husky, do you know if UConn is recruiting Jackie Polk who plays for Los Osos on California. She is a freshman and she scored 30 points today for a team that is second to Etiwanda?

Not that I know of, and she's new to me. This article on her makes me wonder about any UConn interest though.


In earlier games this season, Polk was prone to showing her emotions on the court, whether it be some trash-talking or frustration when a foul call didn’t go her way. But as skilled as she is as an offensive point guard, she stayed on the floor. Most of the time.


“At the beginning of the season, we had to sit Jackie. We were playing in the championship game (of the Downey Tournament) and we sat her because the focus wasn’t there, the teamwork wasn’t there and the attitude was horrible. And from seeing that to this,” Buckner said.

...

Buckner said she is questioned by others when she doesn’t bench Polk for launching deep 3-point attempts several times in the game. But that’s part of her game, Buckner argues, and that’s a shot that Polk can make.

Jackie Polk’s maturity a key to Los Osos girls basketball team’s postseason run

Polk, a freshman point guard, has learned to control her emotions on the court and helped spark the Grizzlies’ run to the CIF State Division III title game.

Here's Toby Fournier against some pretty good competition. She not only really gets off the floor but her reflexes are quick, she gets a piece of 3-4 perimeter shots without fouling. And her release point on her shots around the rim is very high. She's a tough kid and plays hard.

Allie scored 20 in the 1st round which was tied for the best mark on the day but fell 19-18 in the semis.

Caroline beat Azzi in a 3-point contest. Azzi is clearly the better shooter. In fact, she is the BEST shooter.

I ran across a video of a 2016 3-point contest between the Splash Brothers. Both Klay and Steph were close to sinking all 25 shots.

Allie will be excellent for us.

All three looked like legitimate high school AAs. Exciting game. Hope UConn will get one of them.

I see KK was shown as 5-10, i think that is the first time I have seen her listed above 5-9. Allie has been described as 6-0 for awhile now after being listed by ESPN early as 5-10. Keep growing girls!

Zakiyah Johnson: 30 points, 8 rebs, 5 assists; Sacred Heart won state title

I hope Geno and staff are recruiting Zakiyah hard. She’s a natural 3 level scorer and the fact that she’s only a Sophomore is mind blowing. A future star.

After seeing the development and positive experience A. Edwards is having at UConn, I have to think the Crestwood coach is pointing out the advantages of the program to Fournier. I agree with these guys, she's going to have outstanding versatility at the college level.
Expand ...
Possible, however Fournier and her family also have to believe that UConn is the right fit. Also, Coach Davis is the type who will lay out all possible scenarios considering he's been in contact with all of the programs listed in her Top 8 from when Aaliyah, Day-Wilson and Lattimore were at Crestwood.

Looking at the projected roster per Raoul's website, playing time could be minimal, when you have Patterson, Samuels and Ziebell already listed as wings. Will she be willing to play more of a forward position and bang in the paint? Will she be willing to wait her turn? Considering her Top 8, there are several schools where she would have to bide her time. I take that as a sign she may do so, but not really convinced that she would.

unfortunately undersized, but I’d pay to see her play…

She has a scholarship offer.
Expand ...
I’m sure she has plenty of those. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

I meant visiting, going to see her on the circuit, player and staff connections, etc.
