McDonalds AA game

[scubadog]

She showed the most important fundementals of ball handling, shooting, passing and rebounding. Geno should love her fearlessness. No reason to believe Christyn won't learn how to play "D" under the Husky coaching staff.

 

[Carnac]

ONO with a nice block.

She looks reasonably strong to me. Stronger than Stewie when she came in.

3 square meals a day at the campus commons and regular workouts with the trainers in the weight room will put some muscle on her. Look what those workouts did for Dangerfield.

 

[oldude]

OK, I can say this now after watching CW & ONO at the Micky D game:

The rich just keep getting richer...

 

[Dillon77]

Generally agree with you other than Gilbert's jumper form doesn't look quite right to me...I like the way she thinks the game though. Seems to play in control and have good instincts for what to do.

I see what you're talking about based on the wide-open jumper she took in the second half...it wasn't quite squared up on the delivery.
But, as you did, I liked her composure.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Did not realize how strong she is. A real bull.

That’s why I think she has elements of Durr, Taurasi, and Ogunbowale. Arike is a bull too.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Williams just looks like a Husky in some of the non-obvious ways. Her outlet passes, vision, and court sense, for instance. Geno wants players that are on it mentally to the point they can react without thinking. She appears to have that trait already.

Beyond her years!

 

[MilfordHusky]

I don’t see Liv as A’ja, but they are both big and talented.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I don’t see Liv as A’ja, but they are both big and talented.

She doesn't have Wilson's refined offensive post and mid-post game at this point. But the build, the quickness, the athleticism, the shot blocking ability, the passing skills--lots of similarities. I think ONO will eventually be a multi-positional defender with Geno's coaching, something that really isn't Wilson's forte.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ok, so who was the SECOND best player in the game?

Beyond Christyn’s very mature and outstanding game, I thought that Liv showed a lot of potential. She didn’t look as thin as I thought, plus she has shoulders as wide as wide as those of Kiah Stokes. Stewie got a lot stronger. Liv can too.

I saw about 3 quarters, and the sound was turned down. Plus, the numbers were hard to read on the red jerseys. But some players who did good things included Prince, Egbo, Brown, and DeCosta. Aquira is better with the ball than I expected, plus she’s a human pogo stick. Forbes, who is going to Cal, is the daughter of a Globetrotter, plus she won the 3-Point contest. She may be very underrated at #36.

 

[MilfordHusky]

As Eric requested earlier, please post a box score when one is available.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nelson-Ododa had 8 points, 8 rebounds, and several blocks.

 

[eebmg]

Henderson starting to heat up

Hit some pure 3pt shots. Could have used that in the UConn game.

 

[SVCBeercats]

Brooke loves to babble, please talk about the game... it is hard to identify everyone

The vast majority of People who do women's basketball games are total babblers. You can call them anything you like except for professional announcers.

 

[SVCBeercats]

Megan Walker better really bust her behind this summer or she will be watching Williams start the games.

 

[BobbyJ]

ONO will be much more versatile than Wilson. She can also use both hands for everything.

 

[SVCBeercats]

Agreed, but I love the way she runs the court for a Big.

Same as Stewie. She won't get big but will get stronger without losing foot speed and agility.

 

[MilfordHusky]

ONO will be much more versatile than Wilson. She can also use both hands for everything.

Speaking of both hands, CW is truly ambi-dexterous.

 

[HuskyNan]

I thought Madison Williams (Oklahoma commit) played a terrific game. She looks to have a huge upside.

 

[stwainfan]

Williams and ONO will fit in right away. Green and Massingill will add some size at guard for Tennessee. Williams going to OU looked good.

 

[Jbigfan]

Five players to watch:


Christyn Williams, Central Arkansas Christian School (Little Rock, Ark.), G

College: Connecticut

Why she’s must-see TV: Williams is the ultimate playmaker who creates for her teammates and beats the opposition with her ability to get to the rim and score efficiently from the mid-range.


Olivia Nelson-Ododa, Winder-Barrow (Ga.), F

College: Connecticut

Why she’s must-see TV: Nelson-Ododa has the size and ability to guard all five positions on the court and uses her length to dominate on both ends of the floor.

I missed the game. Is there any way I can view it online or on demand (xfinity)?

 

[SCspur]

Hit some pure 3pt shots. Could have used that in the UConn game.

She will be good next year alongside Harris, Jackson, Cuevas-Moore, and Cooper in the backcourt.

 

[bbballfan23]

The biggest transition is going to be for these girls to accept being role players next year. Picking their spots of being aggressive but realizing the ball needs to be in Lou & Pheesa’s hands with Crystal runnng the show. Z will get her fare share of touches also, if she stays. Megan & Z both could have passed more when they played and it would have benefitted them. They didn’t accept being a role player & it caused Geno to bench them at various times. Play hard defensively, move the ball offensively & be ready when your opportunity comes.

Not necessarily. We lose 2 starters and gain two freshmen.

Next year's lineup should be:

Dangerfield
Williams/Walker
Lou
Collier
Stevens

with Walker/Williams and ONO first off the bench. Camara will also get frontcourt minutes. There's your 8 who play in meaningful games, dependent on MW getting her head on straight and the two freshmen being more ready to play than our freshmen have been lately. They should all get 20+ mpg.

3 square meals a day at the campus commons and regular workouts with the trainers in the weight room will put some muscle on her. Look what those workouts did for Dangerfield.

Scoop , comparing her potential development to Dangerfield is not fair to her. I doubt she will muscle up like Crystal did.....However , a comparison to Stewie and KLS is probably a little more on target. Both Stewie and KLS were a little weak and frail upon arriving in Storrs. But both got stronger by their sophomore year.

I think ONO will do the same.
