Napheesa Collier Thread; new video

[Sluconn Husky]

Didn't know where else to put this...

You can watch Collier in her most recent AAU game from about 4 weeks ago. She's 24 in white.



This is about the 4th time I've seen her play and I love her game. Versatile, efficient, smooth are some of the adjectives to best describe her.

Her boxscore looked like this:

24 pts, 11-13 FG, 2-2 FT, 9 Rebs, 2 As, 2 Stl, 1 Blk

Beyond those numbers, she also broke up three fastbreaks.

BTW, #32 in black is Joyner Holmes, sometimes called the female Lebron due to her physique. She's a top-5 prospect for '16.

Wow, this is great. Thanks Slu.

 

[UCONNfan1]

Just add Ms. Holmes to my wish list for UCONN. Great video of Collier tho. What a class our trio is at this point...

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Wow, this is great. Thanks Slu.

You're welcome.

This is video of Collier and her HS coach on St. Louis TV shortly after she verballed.

Great link! What a nice kid. You have to hand it to Geno....

LOL. Her high school coach yells when they screw up. She ain't heard nothin' yet!

Almost forgot to add a couple plaudits for Napheesa's performance above:

Missouri Phenom PBR is loaded as usual. But I was overwhelmed with Napheesa Collier, a 6-1 2015 post. Ultra skilled athlete! She can really play anywhere on the floor, and may be the ideal ”3”. She has already committed to UConn and will likely be a star at that level. I hope she travels with the team in July, she is a joy to watch.

Napheesa Collier (Missouri Phenoms) Just simply blew me away as she was almost unstoppable offensively. 6'1, long and strong, whether it was in the paint from a variety of ways or hitting the 12-15 footer, she was definitely on

I think Napheesa is going to overwhelm us too. And the opposition.

In the recruiting process, did Geno charm Napheesa? Or did she charm him?

 

[UConnCat]

What's not to like about this kid? Smart, funny, athletic, talented. I love her body type; long arms and legs. It's easy to see why Geno made her a high priority.

 

[EricSD]

I'm with Cat. Love this kid. We are just so incredibly blessed. Collier, Boykin and Samuelson? Good grief.

 

[Dman]

is there highlight videos of dejanae boykin?

Our poor coach will have to deal with her puppy dog eyes while he yells at her for making a mistake in practice. Stay strong, Geno, stay strong.

I'm not an expert on body type, but to me she looks she's not done growing yet. She looks "in progress" like she could easily gain strength and even a little height yet.

Update:

BlueStar has rearranged their 2015 class list. In doing so, they moved Collier up to 4th. Previously, she had been tied with Boykin at 12. Boykin is 13th in this update.

Collier is now 4th at BlueStar and Prospects Nation, 5th at Hoopgurlz, and 6th at Full Court.

 

[Sonny44]

She's in a three way tie for first on my class list. Four if you count transfers.

On June 5-6 there was a summer tourney held for HS teams in Missouri. Napheesa was named MVP.

Here is the all-tourney team in PDF format:

Fascinating Video from her perspective; the team play and coaching leaves a bit to be desired (both sides)
The first half is all I could stand to watch; but it's clear from the outset that this kid is special

Does she not remind one of a smaller (not much) version of Kiah, with more body flexibility and offensive aggressiveness (much more).

Very much liked:
Her attention to D, surely was a clean block on the first play.
Her post-ups
Nice release of her jumper
Super calm demeanor.

A winner.

Amazing you say that because that is exactly who she reminded me of the first few times I saw her. Not quite as muscular as Kiah but otherwise a very similar build; glides up the floor in a similar fashion too. Maybe slightly quicker and more mobile than Stokes allowing her to do more quality defending on the perimeter.

In sum, kind of a wingish version of Stokes with more offensive flair and aggression.

She appears to be a better shooter.

Adding an article on Collier from the end of her Sophomore season people may want to see.
