Would love an update...lots to like, really like that step back and aggressiveness. Besides, if basketball doesn't work out, it appears she's got some soccer foot skills:cool:
Unfortunately I’m working In Beverly Hills today and won’t be able to make today’s game. Drats!!
 
With the economy the way it is now, a friend of mine says that ceo's who live there are playing miniature golf and a mormon friend of his is down to one wife. Terrible indeed. They need you, mdoggie, to straighten things out there. :)
 
Chris Dailey following 2023 5-10 wing Courtney Ogden from Georgia. A former #1 overall at Blue Star, Ogden is currently ranked #9 by that service and #30 by ASGR, and she's on PN's watch list.


 

Courtney Ogden – Westminster (Atlanta, GA) - 2023


This was our first chance to work with Ogden in a while. She’s filled out physically and kept building her game in the interim. Along with Collins, Ogden is a major headliner in the next group after McPherson in Georgia. Ogden’s size and skill package give her a versatility that not many wing prospects around America can match regardless of graduating class. She too already has multiple scholarship offers.

Pure shooter, smooth as silk. Advanced offensive game. How the hell am I supposed to finalize my list if you keep dropping these top talents on me?

And that is the truth about WCBB; in the larger picture, the legacy of Auriemma and Dailey may be not the 11 (+?) championships but the way that dominance forced media acknowledgement and how that coverage propelled the tremendous growth of the women’s game.
I may be way wrong but I think both are reveling in the challenge of winning more championships in a new era of great players and coaches spread out over a much larger landscape.
 
A few scouting reports from last October. Posted the Parker and Tomlinson write-ups after UConn interest became known but not the others.



Joyce Edwards

Edwards turned in perhaps the most stellar performance of the camp on both sides of the ball, even winning the 1 on 1 championship. The 6’2 South Carolinian has a can’t miss physique and physical presence, and while the ability to own the paint on both sides of the floor is dominant, it’s what she does out away from the basket that had evaluators talking. Perhaps the best comparison would be to a locomotive as she’s full speed ahead pushing the ball in the open court and getting to the basket. Defensively, not only is she altering and rejecting shots, but she consistently pokes the ball away from the small, quick guards flawlessly.


We could literally run out of ink writing about 2024 baller Zamareya Jones. “Z”, as she is so aptly nicknamed, is not to be slept on, ever! Following up on an impressive summer with FBC, Jones is yet another example of big things coming in small packages. The roster says 5’5, but she jumps and scraps and battles like she’s a foot taller. All of the tricky handles and high end gears match up with her competitive spirit that was on full display as she led her team to a FIBA 3X qualifier title. The three ball is splash, and she fought for plenty of steals and loose balls.


Roisin Grandberry (Illinois Lady Lightning) is a big time athlete already, and seems poised to be one of the next big things out of the Chicago area. She worked extremely well with her guards in the pick and roll game, and the ball literally sticks to those huge mitts of hers as she catches and finishes. Her mobility on the defensive end and overall focus on the floor will continue to pay dividends. She was key for her team that won the FIBA 3X qualifier.


Cameron Rust

Rust shined all week with some good ball skills and interior move set as a true power forward type.


At 6’1, 2024 Taliyah Parker is as versatile as they come on offense and defense. The strength and elevation are high level with this Oklahoma standout. Blowing by defenders to the rim and pushing coast to coast in transition are her specialties, along with a mid range game that gets better and better. Defensively, she is more than willing to guard all over the floor.


Athena Tomlinson may be a little small in the height category, but this 2024 West Coast lightning bolt looks like she could throw up plenty of reps at the NFL Combine. The lefty shot creator from the Cal Sparks organization came off as very coachable, and seemed to learn a lot about her shot selection and playing her position even better during the event.

Sidwell Friends has 3 Guards, including 2 point guards, all ranked in the top 10 in their class by ESPN, so I take with a grain of salt. But that must be one talented team. Are they #1 in the country? How do 2 pg's get enough time with the ball to both be top 10? Oh yeah, and they had some kid named Azzi last year.

SIuconn Husky, I look forward to your posts and perspectives as much as anything on the BY. There seems to be a never ending array of talent heading to WCBB in the foreseeable future. I am in water over my head with young player overload, newbies being added almost daily. It would make my day if you and some others in the know would list who you consider the top UCONN prospects for the next couple of recruiting classes. Any thoughts as to the interest the players may have on joining UCONN would be a big point of interest. Thanks for your posts and look forward to your and others reply.

Miss Shade has my stamp of approval. She imo would look great in the best color blue uniform. I am a big fan of elevation and this young lady seems to have springs in her legs, nice high release on her shots. She may just be ready to soon to want to sit on our bench for a year.

Kiki Rice is at Sidwell. Azzi played for St. John's College Prep, a few miles away.
