Next up... Ezi?

[psconn]

She's doing pretty well for an 18 year old in the WNBL:
Stats - UC Capitals

While not one of the strongest leagues on the planet, there's enough talent there to test a young player. I hope the coaching is high level. If we can acquire this 6'4" 2016 U17 Championship MVP I would concede that the end is not near.

In considering CW and ONO, Ezi unfortunately won't be that easy.

Actually, I think she's Ezi.

OMG can't we even take one day to bask in the glow of one of the best 7-day recruiting periods in history???!!!

 

[Hayven]

Ezi’s decision may rely on Z’s decision, to enter the draft in the spring

Recruiting is 24-7, Dude!

I basked in the glow for almost a full 20 minutes, but didn't want to get a glow-burn. My hands need to wring over something at all times.

PS, ps, remember what Geno said about finding playing time for all of his talented recruits. Soon we'll be in position where only Number One players will be able to start. What a problem!

Geno should be able to recruit the Italian girl.

Seriously. People round here with some short attention spans. It's like the kid who opens an awesome Christmas gift and then tosses it aside after two seconds because he just wants more gifts.

I haven't been following this closely.

Is Ezi even being recruited?

Does she even want to come into the American university system rather than going pro early?

 

[JustinesGuy]

Samantha Brunelle should now be our number one target.

 

[HoopsFan21]

I think we're going to have too many players. Close the book '18 and start looking ahead to '19.

UConn is trying to set up a visit early next year so I'd say she is being recruited.

Christine and Geno have taken on projects with potential in the past: Jessica Moore.
Eventually she earned her keep. You can't teach 6.4 but 6'4's can be taught.

Plus Jessica Moore came all the way from Alaska... so I'm not sure a miles comparison but you know... that's a long way, at least a quarter of the distance from Australia by comparison right?

As Sluconn notes, yes, she is being recruited. She and her family are discussing the American university option. In his media session on Friday, Geno mentioned one player he was waiting to hear from this week (Olivia) and maybe something happening in the spring (Ezi).

Yes and probably Geno et al did not get to see this Moore s game. Best part for Jessica: She came to Uconn for the warm weather. (joke). J. Moore was really bad her first 2 years--last 2 she was aggressive, and tough under the basket (for all concerned), as a Senior she too her "leadership" role very seriously. During her final 2 years Uconn needed what she became.
In one game a teammate , under the basket with J Moore, could not split 2 defenders : Jessica Moore put her hands on her teamates butt and pushed her though the defense--that aggressive.

The best part of landing the Australian would be she could have the best nickname of all time...Sunday Morning.

For anyone trying to score on her, it would be Sundown.

Yes. Geno in an interview before the Stanford game said that there is one recruit they were expecting to hear from soon- that happened today. He also said there is another recruit that will carry over into the spring time- that can only be Ezi because she is the only fish left in the deep end of the pool where UCONN is acoustomed to swimming.

Bingo!

1. Moore was at UConn five years, including one redshirt year. She played very well her last three years and was a three-year starter.

2. No doubt Geno and CD saw her play a number of times prior to signing her. She played three years of AAU ball for a team in Oregon that played in many tournaments in various parts of the country.
