Nike Hoops Summit

[Sluconn Husky]

Figured a thread would be a good idea for comments, clips, etc.

Game is tonight at 7:30 Eastern on FS1 and is scheduled to be replayed late Sunday night on FS2.

Strong, Cheli, and Ziebel headline the US team. UConn offeree Olivia Vukosa is on the World squad.

Thank you Sluconn! I already miss college hoops...this game will ease the loss.
Olivia is completing only her freshman year...correct?

Sophomore year. She's a 2026.

Thanks, @Sluconn Husky. Like @Blakeon18 said and I am sure we are not the only ones, definitely missing college basketball and this posting of the game later today helps. I guess I will be watching a lot of YouTube games over the summer.

Sarah Strong not playing.

Fun seeing Allie and Morgan on the floor together.

They just have that cool confidence about themselves and playing ability.

Ugly basketball

Choppy with all the fouls.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Annika Soltau! Washington Huskies are getting a good one!

 

[WLT1717]

SoCal getting a couple solid players.

 

[Audi1954]

Any indication why Sarah Strong is being held out? I saw one player with a shoulder brace. Did they say?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

The World team plays intense defense and is the most physical team I've ever seen play what's essentially an exhibition.

Not a half to write home about for Morgan Cheli.

Shocked UConn didn't recruit Swords.

Vukosa is excellent, bummed that Strong is in warmups.

I do like what I see from Cheli as far as her size and ball handling, will help against any team that tries to pressure us next year. She also dows a great job with the long chest pass, think Doron Sheffer!

Borderline unwatchable. Shooting percentages at halftime: World 59%; USA 31%. World is willing and able to pass the ball. USA misses Strong and Cambridge.

Too much one on one for the US.

Aren't there a couple of Swords? Like Citron, a couple of local kids that got away from UConn.........I remember screaming about UConn going after Citron when she was a junior in high school...........she already was showing she had the goods back then.......

when was the last high school "All-Star" game that didn't look "ugly"?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Kate Koval is good!

 

[Audi1954]

UConn really needs to hit the portal hard for a big rebounder. This game is a huge reminder!

Thanks my friend!!!!

Yes, younger sister Savannah.

Yes. Savvy Swords is a 2025 I believe. A tad taller than Syla.

I think being -9 on the boards against Iowa was the biggest reminder.

 

[Cuango]

Well, this is just embarrassing! The US seems to have one play; get the ball, ignore your teammates, and bull your way to the basket and throw up a prayer! I can’t even count how many times Allie was standing at the arc with no one within 10 feet of her while the ball handler ignored her (or anyone else) and threw up a shot that would get them benched immediately on most teams! I’m the first to admit that these “all-star games are rarely well played but this one is particularly egregious! Hence the score, I suppose. Hopefully they will clean this up at halftime and we will see them try to play team basketball! So far, the most impressive thing from the US is how bad they are from the line!

Re Swords, she may not have gotten on their radar in time. Both sisters were playing for a program in Sudbury ON for a while and they may not have been at events where UConn coaches were at.
