Meet Qadence Samuels

[DEpup]

I am born and raised in Delaware and lived in DC for 16 years. MilfordHusky is correct in the description of DMV vs. The Delmarva Peninsula.

Seems like Qadence’s AAU team was involved in the game of the tournament (thus far). Hopefully Geno & co. got to witness this one. I’m still holding out hope for Azzi’s former HS/AAU/Qadence’s current AAU teammate Delaney Thomas.

Geno and Jamelle were in Louisville Friday.

So Qadence is 2 puff's taller.

Start of a beautiful friendship.

Seems like they sent CD to Iowa. You can see her on the baseline during the game that Team Takeover is wearing black in a few of these clips.

Does this mean CD was their to see Delaney Thomas? I sure hope so!

Think you are probably right and hopefully if her upside develops more, next year her ratings will move up quite a bit. If the top options start to dry up, for Uconn recruiting a player around #35 with upside makes far more sense to me than someone ranked similarly, who has more modest but fully developed abilities. A player like the former (Qadence) might develop into a significant rotation piece for us, while the later who has reached her peak probably never becomes more than a backup to the backup if she is in the 30-40 range natioL

Lets look at Morrow from DePaul as someone who ranking was off. You never know Geno says she plays hard and can shoot. I will take that.

Duke’s Alana Beard was ranked #30 coming out of high school and ended up being one of the top three players in the high school class of 2000 along with Diana Taurasi and Candice Wiggins (Stanford). Geno likes to tell a story that he told Chris Daily and Tennessee Associate Head Coach Mickie DeMoss they should be fired for not recruiting Beard.

The key virtue is always "do they play hard?" Everything else can be taught.

Not that easy. Mir for example played super hard. She just could not make it work within our system.

Qadence's highest current ranking comes from All Star Girls Report where she is 29th.

Not true .. as Vin Diesel said, "500? .. you need 500 (games) before you're legitimate .. "

An interesting picture would be these two taking a similar picture 5 years from now as mature seniors just prior to leading UConn into the NCAA Tournament. Normally I would say I can hardly wait, but in this case I can.
