Surprised to see Cunningham standing around and not running the floor for the whole short clip. AAU ball must be more exciting than her HS teams’ games. Don’t have to worry about Brady’s effort.

New known POI thanks to Morgan Valley:

*

First, Morgan is now following Eve Fiala, the 6-5, 2023 center that was reported as having UConn interest in a local article a week ago.

Taliyah Parker, a 6-1, 2024 Wing from Oklahoma who is ranked 3rd at Blue Star and is on ESPN's watch list. Parker will attend the U16 trials.

Tajianna Avant-Roberts, a 5-9, 2024 Guard and teammate of Breya Cunningham at La Jolla County Day in California. She is on ESPN's watch list and ranked #2 at Hoops Central.

Caya Smith, a 6-2, 2024 Wing from Oklahoma. Highly thought of despite not being on ESPN or Blue Star's lists yet.

Angel Allen, a 5-4, 2025 PG from New York. I can't find much on her except for an impressive highlight video.

Reychel Douglas, a 6-0, 2023 Guard from North Carolina. She's ranked #24 at Blue Star and has been evaluated by Prospects Nation.

I'll try and fill in some info on the new POI later.

I don't know if you've mentioned it earlier, but I noticed a few days ago that Morgan is now following Hana Mühl on IG.

What class is Hana Muhl in?

 

[oldude]

What class is Hana Muhl in?

Hana will be 18 in July. I would expect that she would likely look at US colleges in 2022 when she will be 19, which would be similar to what Nika did in 2020.

No, I didn't know that but CD's been following her for quite a while, which may or may not mean interest.

New POI reports. First '24 W/F Caya Smith from Prep Hoop Girls this January.


Caya Smith is only a freshman and was definitely the best player in the gym. Standing at 6’2", Smith has the size of a forward but the skills of a guard. She uses her length to her advantage as she disrupts passing lanes often and is a good shot blocker. Offensively, Smith is a good finisher around the basket and drove often. She is also a good three-point shooter. Smith can do it all.

2019 write-up:

Caya Smith 2024 | Below The Rim (OK)

Playing up two levels, Smith is another kid on the talented BTR squad that had a great weekend. She ran the floor very well that allowed her guards to hit in her stride for some easy scores. She is a menace on the defensive end of the floor as she is a good rebounder and shot-blocker. Smith, who will attend Putnam West High School this fall, has a bright future ahead of her as she should be a Top 50 player nationally.

Reychel Douglas:

Strengths

• + Versatility
• + Talented
• + Shooter

Needs Improvement

• - Attacking Basket with weak hand

Douglas is a talented option with both length and skill in the frontcourt. Based on matchups, she can play multiple positions displaying shooting range out past the 3-point line. In that way, the sky is the limit for Douglas due to her blend of physical abilities at an early age.

PG Tajianna Avant-Roberts
La Jolla Country Day (California)
espnW rating: Four stars

Roberts is a talented scorer with the fundamentals and the flair to have a major stock-rising summer. She can shoot the 3, dance with her handle to create space and finish with a variety of moves and footwork in the paint.

Defensively, she can guard multiple positions and pressures the ball very well. She rebounds the ball very well for a guard and pushes the ball well in transition.

15 uncommitted women's college basketball prospects to watch this summer

Which women's college basketball prospects took their games to the next level over the past few months?

www.espn.com

 

[Sluconn Husky]

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.

Blue Star 30s shine in Tampa - Bluestar Media

The 5th Annual Blue Star 30 Camp invaded sunny Tampa, Florida last week, bringing together over 70 young women from all over the United States to compete, learn, and carry on the legacy of the 30 sisterhood.

F Taliyah Parker
Putnam City West High School (Oklahoma)

Parker has a motor that is hard to compare in the entire country, and her drive is endless. She, too, has competed against older and more experienced players during the summer. The 6-1 Parker is a relentless defender with the offensive skills to balance out things. Her jumper is sweet and she can rack it better than most.

The top women's college basketball prospects in the Classes of 2022, '23 and '24

Who are the top junior, sophomore and freshman recruits we should start paying attention to?

[Heytherego]

Right. For the next few years anyway there should be a long grad transfer list and some late bloomers from smaller programs could be key to a couple title runs. Juhasz appears to be exactly what UConn needed, size and experience.

Agreed. I honestly see the transfer rule as primarily helping Uconn. Kids that aren’t getting playing time, and are likely not to get much in the future will leave. Kids who we need, we have a chance of getting in the portal. Never know, but I don’t see kids who are getting tons of minutes leaving Uconn for elsewhere (unless maybe unexpected family reasons?)

Should be noted that Morgan Valley also recently seems to have followed “prodigy” Juste Jocyte, might be a long shot with her coming over to the states but doesn’t hurt to try?

This should please @CocoHusky immensely. A longshot for sure, but if UConn pulls this kid out of Europe there just might be an investigation.

Why a long shot? Has she said she doesn’t want to play in the state and/or for UConn?

Jocyte was born in DC. Her father played college ball in the US and worked for the Lithuanian embassy.

I hate it when someone posts a video and it takes me a bit to figure out which player is the one being showcased. BUT, see how long it takes to figure out which player is Jocyte

Not that I'm aware of. Have to see how high a college education is on her priority list. Could be an awful lot of money waiting for her around age 18, especially with Tony Parker tutoring her and owning the pro team she's currently playing with.

As anticipated by the folks in Waco, after being released from her LOI at Baylor, Maryam Dauda has committed to in-state school Arkansas. Big addition for Mike Neighbors and the Razorbacks.
