McDonalds AA game

[SCspur]

Madison Williams is a very good rebounding guard

 

[SCspur]

I love Henderson's flash!

MADISON WILLIAMS!!

The other player I REALLY liked was Prince.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Nelson-Ododa was far more aggressive than I expected. She must've posted up 40 times. Still a bit raw in some of her offensive moves near the basket, but her effort and quickness are undeniable. Didn't get to see it, but she's got a smooth jumper as well.

These games are so choppy its hard to judge. First time on ESPN, adds to the nerves. CW stole the show.

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.

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

The rich just keep getting richer...

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.

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.

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)?
