Great get for UCONN. I kind of had a feeling that she was a UCONN type of player.

I agree she may go by Phee (Fee)-regardless, she exudes all the great Uconn characteristics!! Welcome Nepheesa-we will call you whatever you'd like:)

No inside info. Just a gut feeling on Brown. In 2015, there should be plenty of minutes for a true center. It would be logical that an ex-NBA player like her father would appreciate Ollie and be even more comfortable with the overall Uconn experience. Ollie also would have nothing but great things to say about Geno.

It just seems to be an excellent fit for someone that has big aspirations.

PS.... Don't miss the Hoop Gurlz (or whatever they call it) article on her (.you can find it under her name on the internet) . Was so pleased to read about her dad who came to the USA to escape repression, as so many of our families did over the generations of immigrants.evidently he came to participate in America as so many did over the generations of immigrants. My personal welcome not only to Collier but to her dad as well. He gives me hope for our nation .

I get the same feeling. Can't explain it. Had it about Napheesa too. One thing that caught my attention in an article about Kalani and family, was her possible interest in nursing and I'm thinking Bingo! UConn's School of Nursing - a premiere program in the field.

"Kalani, who also enjoys writing fiction and is interested in studying English, journalism or nursing, said she is in no hurry to make a decision on college."

I just wonder if she is overtly successful and evolves into a star (which is definitely feasible), would we be hearing a lot of screams, "Pheemendous" from the crowd??? Just curious. I surely wouldn't mind it at all because anyone who helps UConn excel deserves all the accolades and raves that she receives.

"Precious" (Sales): Uconn leader in steals with (477), and third in points (2178). May Phee have as successful a career at Uconn.

Once more with Pheeling.

Or three times.
She's a triple-jumper.

Another triple-jumper:
Jess Moore, Alaska state champ IIRC.

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.

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