Geno just quoted one of the incoming freshman in his graduation speech. Which one was it?

What's the quote?

What's the quote?

It was rather long and referenced "Coach Burrell," I believe,

Not sure I saw this before, but SVP gives a nod to Hopkins and Paige:

Jordyn Griggs, 6'1" at age 14. Dream school is UConn. Plays where Kaleena and Lou played. She's raw and reminds me a little of Aubrey.

Come on BY's. The clues are there. Lets dig it up.

Funny.

Favorite School

Definitely UConn

"and your second?"

Ucon ..... oh. Louisville.

UConn on the brain.

Paige's ability to see the floor has to be a gift. I could never pass like that in my youth, let alone see the court like she does. I was a role player without Molly's three point shot. Can't wait for her arrival.

Two days after Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash, Hopkins played a Lake Conference game at Minnetonka -- the 19th game of the season. To honor Kobe, who wore numbers 8 and 24, Paige scored 24 points with 8 assists in a 81-53 win. Bueckers also collected 9 rebounds and 5 steals.

I don’t think that is a clue. Geno said he asked the player a question and Scott Burrell is the one who said you have to tone it down with todays generation. So it is likely referring to the question not a relationship with the player.

maybe he was texting with Paige checking how the Azzi recruiting was going ?

When I wrote this, I had no idea who Coach Burell was and thought it may be a coach of one of the incoming players. Now I get it.

Amari DeBerry was named New York state player of the year last Wednesday:

Some new DeBerry footage:

Wow I had no idea she was this good of a passer. That’s a tremendously valuable and rare skill for a big to have (especially at that age) and and she also made all the correct reads on where the balk should go. Geno loves bigs that can pass (see Dolson) and I’m sure he will find all sorts of ways to use that weapon.

When it's Gulliver's Brobdingnag's vs. his Lilliputians on display, a particular player always looks good,but if you extrapolate her movements and potential you realize that Geno and co. will have a lot to work with and she will be a very valuable asset to the ncaa winning team by her second or third year.I could see her scoring 20 points or so as a frosh vs.some of the lesser teams at the collegiate level if she were to get the necessary minutes.

The best post passer I have seen since Bill Walton

I actually think her UConn career will be spent more playing the 4/PF than the 5/C.... just a prediction. I think she can be a high post twin tower passing teammate and she has a good shot from mid-range. Lauren Coxish....

I know one bad habit she will have to change. CD will stop her from flipping the waistband over on the shorts.
