Lol everybody can’t go to UConn. Y’all already claimed Brink for 2020, remember?

Even though she too has also already visited SC. :p

I have, unfortunately, come to grips with this in a eulogy -- er, post -- on McGraw's
Bench. :rolleyes:

She's had a great summer and HS campaign. Look forward to seeing her in the NJ playoffs and TOC.

This mix tape of Caitlin Clark, Class of 2019, was just posted on Irish Hoop Recruits.
Her handle looks as strong as ever and -- if anything -- her range looks even deeper.


Caitlin Clark Sophomore Year Mixtape! Diana Taurasi 2.0!?

I'm surprised UConn hasn't shown much interest in Clark...........she seems just the kind of skilled, hustle player Geno is always looking for................I don't think your getting Bueckers and Clark just as UConn is most likely not getting Bueckers and Van Lith..............which one would you prefer?
 
Sometimes the rankings don't make sense. I know that rankings are different with the different services. Amira Collins is one of the finalist for Nasmith award. Yet she is #69 in ESPN Hoopgurlz.

She has too many college offers to mention them all, but Jones noted that pretty much all the schools in the South have offered her and many across the nation. On exception has been perennial power Connecticut.

I take both ranking services into account but I tend to favor Hoopgurlz just a bit as PN seems to be a bit more driven by local BB politics................still they may be better at finding players hidden in the weeds that turn out to have good college careers.......

You have these types of discrepancies every year. Last year it was Cooks of MSU who played in McDonalds AA game was top 10 in ESPN and not even top 60 on Prospectsnation.
Look at Madison Williams this year also McD's AA top 10 (#8) on Prospects Nation & ESPN has her at #77.

I prefer Hoopgurlz also.

Well, that was a detailed profile, going over everything from chemistry lab to yoga class. Don't worry Caitlin: I have trouble with handstands, too! ;) :rolleyes:

I'm sure the two Iowa programs would donate to charities of Clark family's choice for life if she went there. Having watched the Bruin-Duck game last night, I could also see how they'd love to have a strong-willed PG who scores come to the program (that would coincide cleanly with Ionescu moving on to conquer her next world). However, there's something about that perfectionist streak that screams MM. :D

Latter point is a good one in regards to many of the Irish's latest recruits, including Mik Vaughn and Abby Prohaska. And I tend to use the discrepancies between HG and PN as a balancing factor, kind of like the old judging method in figure skating. ;)

I usually take a rough average of both.. find a range in the middle. Just to get an idea. If a recruit is ranked highly in both I take it to mean that this recruit has been vetted thoroughly and is appropriately ranked.
 
I watched Notre Dame 2019 recruit Anaya Peoples play in the semi-finals of the Illinois 1A State Championships. ( the original March Madness) Her team won and will play for the championship on Saturday at 1:45 p.m. ET. The channel is NSCHHD, 1741 on Uverse. She looked good. Even though she plays in the smallest class in Illinois, by the time she graduates she should be really good and ready for D1 ball.

Sorry, I missed this during the week.
I agree with you that neither UConn or ND is going to hit daily double with those three players. From what I understand, we've had no contact with/from Van Lith, so I'll concentrate on Clark and Bueckers. Both of them are PGs that I think can easily swing over to the combo or off guard position in either of the two team's offenses. Of the one I know (and by know, I mean read and seen information on), I think Clark has a similar yin to Muffet's yang: there's a perfectionist quality about her (admittedly, on her part) that is very much like McGraw. On the other hand, McGraw will go along with the individualist if they can fit within the format of the plan, like Ogunbowale. She appreciates flair. I can still see Clark working for the Irish.

On the other hand, you've got to have others in mind just in case. Alli Campbell is visiting ND to see the NC State game, which will make anohter unofficial visit for her. Campbell is joining the Philly Belles this spring, which has contributed Vaughn and Cosgrove to the Irish, so that will be another way for MM and Niele to keep track.

I'm too lazy to look it up but I think that ND will have a top notch point guard in place for 20-22 while UConn will need a shiny new one to replace Crystal...........perhaps that will impact on who goes where

The Irish have Jordan Nixon coming aboard this upcoming year (2018-19), so she'd be a junior by the time Clark/Bueckers matriculate.
Anaya Peoples is coming in the fall of 2019, as well, but Peoples is on record as saying she'll play anywhere in the backcourt, as needed.

It's almost as if the needs of this year's team has created a common mindset ("sure, I'll do that") but in reverse, with gifted point guards volunteering to become off guards (unlike Marina Mabrey, who did the opposite). I've got no doubt that CC, PG can do either/or. And Alli Campbell -- although not quite at the level/precipice as those two -- can probably "move it on over" as well.

Should be interesting.....

Very talented team pictured here not just Jasmine Masengill. Also pictured is Elizabeth Balogun #25 in 2018 headed to Georgia Tech. The young lady at the back towering over all the others is Kamilla Cardosa #3 in 2020 and Treasure Hunt #10 in 2020 per ESPN.
 
I'm a little bit worried about how much this "Tiny" Green fellow is a fan of Dara Mabrey, lol:

Yes, Tiny can get a bit over the top. He's known these players from the start of their playing days and does seem to get a bit emotionally invested. Charliebball can elaborate more if he chooses and/or if he needs to.

BTW, the game both Tiny and Marina referred to was this one...a conference show-down between two of the better teams in NJ. Both Dara and Faith Masonious (Maryland commit) had big games.
