May 2021 recruiting thread

Both Mir and AG can shoot. All basketball players can shoot, but all cannot shoot accurately. That's the key.

Well said Captain Obvious...

The Jordan Brand Classic announced its would-be rosters if the game had not been cancelled. All four UConn freshmen are there. North Carolina also with four.

Big nod to Jordan Brand Classic for including all 4 of the young ladies (Dominique Darius, Olivia Miles, Saylor Poffenbarger, &Talia Von Oelhoffen) that went to college early. The McDonald's AA team for 2021 chose not to include any of them. Darius and Miles were particular interesting because Blair Academy never had a season at all and as a side note Batouly Camara has been named the new coach for Blair.

Strong finish and good play by Jenna on that but... Jenna either missed or ignored Cunningham on the strong flash across the lane and drew two additional help defenders on her way to the basket. I would have like to see Cunningham go to work on that and Jenna execute a give and go.

If we can find a couple of recruits named Diamond, we’ll have a Joan Baez album!

Remember when the Phillies had the great fielding duo of Bobby Wine at short and Cookie Rojas at second? Announcers would rhapsodize about "The Plays of Wine and Rojas."

2025 Aniya Foy AAU action from this past weekend:

A HS freshman to be? What?

She's ranked #2 at ASGR, not by accident. Really impressed with McGrew as well. Strong, aggressive, and effortless shooting form you rarely see in the women's game.

Have to wonder about the reliability of ASGR though. They have Sammie Wagner at #2 for '23 and they think Del Rosario plays at St. Peter Marian in NY.

They do have some odd mistakes, but their rankings aren't all that different from the other main outlets, and they have several people who watch players.

The players in this program UConn would be interested in are, at a minimum, Aniya Foy ('25) and Gwendlyn McGrew ('24) who are teammates.

I live about 10 miles from her school. If you schedule permit I will try and checkout her playoff game. Should I wear my UConn Tshirt?

Updated ESPN rankings for anyone not in the non UConn recruiting thread. I don’t really recall rankings before but do know Del Rosario dropped to 18, Cunningham at 4

Sluconn are you in the know or is that just an opinion?

If you're asking how we know UConn is interested in Foy and McGrew it's because Morgan Valley began following both on social media in the past few days. That's why I have posted numerous videos and reports on them.

Gwendlyn McGrew-5'11(Reps Up) one of the countries top prospects in her class, she has D1 offers on the table and her ability to score multiple ways will make her an impact player immediately in high school, yes I said IMMEDIATELY

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

Not sure if she was already discussed, but Morgan Valley also follows 2023 Chloe Kitts, a 6-1 wing from Florida, now ranked #30 overall:

Not sure if she was already discussed, but Morgan Valley also follows 2023 Chloe Kitts, a 6-1 wing from Florida, now ranked #30 overall:

Has not been mentioned and it's quite interesting because I had actually been checking to see if UConn was interested in her recently. Her name has been popping up a lot with prospect watchers. Big upside, supposedly.

She averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 steals, and nearly 2 blocks on 61% shooting as a freshman. Just 5-19 from three, however.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Another '23 who has been mentioned here before without any verified connection to UConn may or may not be a POI. Ciera Toomey, a player sharing similarities with Kitts, has been followed on Twitter by Morgan Valley for a while. I wasn't sure if that was a follow before or after Morgan was hired at UConn.

Toomey is now ranked 14th at ESPN. She's a 6-3 W/F from Pennsylvania.
