Morgan Cheli is a Husky!

Never thought Morgan would leave the west coast, much less end up at the house Geno built. It's now time for me to invest in advanced medical equipment so I have a good chance of being around in my upper 70's to see the upcoming Husky flying circus. With the help of God, like Geno, the Huskies and my B.Y friends we aren't going anywhere. :cool:

I’m wondering about early 80s. Reading about potential recruits 3 or more years out is beginning to feel like science fiction to me. I have a good C-PAP machine to recommend
 
I am channeling Carnac's long lost cousin, Karnak. He predicts a certain new young recruit will jump from #18 to very close to the top five in her class due to the impending unstoppable "UConn Effect". He also predicts the Sun will rise again in the East again tomorrow.

I'm on my fourth C-Pap. Guess I'll have to get a new one before all the new wonder-kids arrive.

I'm waiting for VA to replace my current one. Phillips has recalled it, but I have to keep it until I get one in it's place. Phillips informed me I should be getting the replacement within 6 months. That will make it almost 7 years old when I get the new one. It will be my fifth C-Pap, my first one was in 99.

“It’s basketball royalty,” Mitty coach Sue Phillips said on Thursday. “Morgan Cheli is headed to a place that has 11 national championships to play for a generational coach in Geno Auriemma. Like she said, her goal is to try to win a national championship.”

...

Auriemma has visited Mitty’s campus several times, according to Phillips.


“He has impressed upon me what he enjoys most is her versatility and that she makes the right basketball play and her ability to score in a variety of different ways,” Phillips said. “She also excels on the defensive side of the ball.


“It was well thought out. Couldn’t be happier for Morgan and her parents, as well as UConn. UConn is getting an unbelievable player and an even better person. Mo is going to a terrific place for her.”

Archbishop Mitty basketball star Morgan Cheli commits to UConn

Morgan Cheli says her “journey will continue in the basketball capital of the world.”

What makes the future Husky one of the most sought-after high school players in the country? Just about everything. At 6-2 with standout athleticism, a complete array of point guard skills, and the ability to play alongside other lead guards as well, there isn't a box Cheli doesn't check.

Cheli is a particularly versatile offensive focal point who's rapidly improving as a go-to scorer, and one that very few guards – or frontcourt players – can matchup with. And one could argue that she's the best defensive player in the state, a monster in the passing lanes who can bring the clamps any position at the high school level and projects to be a defensive stopper at future levels guarding one through three.

Great get! I’m excited to see her play. Hope she ads some good weight/muscle to her frame.

So I just did my homework by watching a bunch of videos on Morgan. A 6’2” pg, with a great handle who attacks the basket, rebounds, drops dimes and can shoot it from the arc??? I think she’ll fit in nicely…:)

By the way, as good as Morgan is, she is only the 2nd best player on the team behind another 6’2” player, McKenna Woliczko, who is just a 9th grader…:eek:

Think she could be similar to Maddy Siegrist in playing style?

Well well well. UConn aint goin anywhere folks but to the Top. The Very Top. Fans have been asking why doesnt UConn get any bigs. Well we've got'em and goin for more. There arent many bigs in 24/25 to get but UConn has quite a few and goin for more. This team is almost unfair. Alot of teams are gonna need the portal to try and catch up with UConn. We dont have portal players and we may not need'em either. When Geno said wait til you see who we've got coming in next year and they year after he ment it. Ive never heard him say that so when he said it he must be pretty excited. Those of you who know me know I could write a book on everything that has gone on over the 25-30 years. Right now Im so excited and enthused just thinking of the next 5 years. There is no coach like Geno. Guys we're gonna enjoy this ride for a long time.

Not a criticism, just an observation, I hope she develops her Left hand (for layups and back to the basket play) before she get here. She's got Talent for sure, using both hands makes her less predictable.

You mean like the first and last plays of this video plus two others at 1:09 and at 1:43?? Her left hand for everything is just fine.

Hopefully not a duplicate. Geno was almost choking the other night to keep from spilling the bean, settling for "when you see who's coming...."

Does her commitment mean that UConn won't be pursuing Joste?

No one is sure which class Jocyte is in--could be as late as 2025. My guess is that we still want Juste. She's the best player in her age group in Europe. Both Morgan and Juste are versatile. They could play together. As with many Europeans, Juste could opt for the pros over college in the U.S.

Hell, she may well be the best player in her age group in the US too. She's only 17. I can't imagine a kid this young playing with this much skill, poise, and court vision against high level pros in playoff competition. Those games are fast and physical and she's able to play at her own pace and not force anything or appear out of her comfort zone. She's a rare talent that sees the whole floor and man can she shoot it.
 
Posted this in the recruit thread in January, but re-upping it here:


Cheli’s biggest challenge at times may be knowing which part of her game to flex. Sopak wouldn’t mind seeing her be more offensive minded at times.

“Her best asset is rebounding – she has a knack for getting the basketball,” the CalStars coach said. “But she’s also a really, really good shooter. She just needs to shoot more. Eighty-five percent of the time she makes good decisions. The other 15% of the time, she should shoot.”

...

Put all of that together, and it’s clear Cheli is on track to play at the highest levels. Want proof? UConn’s Geno Auriemma flew in from the East Coast in the morning, watched Cheli play one game with the Cal Stars, and then went back to the airport to fly home that afternoon. No coach, much less Geno Auriemma, will make that kind of trip unless the player involved is exceptional.

...


“She has the opportunity to be very, very special,” says Sopak. “She’s very similar to Sabrina (Ionescu) at this age” — and Sopak would know, as he coached the young WNBA star at Miramonte-Orinda and in club ball. “Morgan’s longer than Sabrina, and she can guard taller players.”
