Miller and Correa are two of my favorite Jersey girls....

Hah! I was reading that same article, drove my daughter to the train and thought of posting it when -- there you were!
I could see C. Viv being interested in both Correa and Miller and how they'd fit into her "offense off defense" approach. And not surprised to see Frese there, as well.

Did you see that Manasquan crushed Red Bank and that 3M ("Mabrey, Masonius and Mullaney") scored all but 4 of their 60 points?

2019 top-50 prospect Shemara Williams just had one of the biggest lines I've seen yesterday:

52 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists, 7 steals

I got to see 2019 seventh ranked guard Aijha Blackwell play in one of the toughest tournaments in Missouri. She scored 38 points against Incarnate Word Academy in a semi final loss. Incarnate Word is the defending state champion and the former school of Napheesa Collier. Blackwell scored 30 plus points in the third place game. She is a junior and 19th ranked over all. She looked as good as Collier did when she was a junior except she has an outside shot and does not have as much talent around as Collier did. She is the real deal and is a smart young lady. We don't get many like her here in St. Louis. She plays for Whitfield High.

Interesting. Saw that list of schools and thought Duke or Louisville. Cali kids don't come to ND. Hannah Huffman was the exception, but she was a legacy.

Was Hannah Huffman any good?

from the cheap seats down here in the Big 12 . . . (too many words to write as a guest so just ignore if you're inclined)

concerning Geno (and every other D1 coach in the nation wanting the "Paris Twins") history proved that what every coach REALLY wanted was Courtney Paris (who made a living off the offensive foul of "charging" but did it moving backward toward the goal with her butt. We watched it for 4 years in the Big 12. Couldn't jump. Wouldn't jump. Never needed to jump. Her girth meant that anyone jumping above had to reach over her and at 6'4 (?) there just weren't many who could get high enough to pick a rebound without making body contact with Courney's shoulders or arms. No matter how perfectly our or any other team's post would have complete and total defensive position BEHIND C Paris 15 feet out, Paris would simply start backing up with her dribble with her backside headed toward the rim and the stripes NEVER considered that a "charge". There was not a player in the nation who could lean back against her and stop the mass/bulk of her backward dribble until she got underneath. And to this day I am convinced there are BIGS who get by with "charging with their butts".

As for the twin sister, she was never a D1 ability player, but any coach who wanted Courtney had to be willing to give sis a full ride as well--Papa and Mama Paris' rules (and sadly, the only way the twin sis was EVER going to get a schollie at ANY level other than some small mid-major, was to be a packaged recruit with Courtney. Good kids, but it was sad to watch the twin (Ashley) even TRY to function on a D1 level. She was not quite as large as Courtney, but close, but had absolutely NO D1 skills--and might not have been capable of even small mid-majors.

You guys played them. but you probably didn't see much of the twin (Ashley). Unfortunately for Coale, even with a four year All American in Courtney, they couldn't get a title. (Not that we down here in Waco were grieving too much). But I personally am a fan of S. Coale, and somehow I wish she could hang a banner some day. OU's roster now is pretty absent of anything except slow, short, 3 point guards, though, so their recruiting is getting farther and father away from being a to 10 program. Their 7' post is just now growing into her body height after two years and will never be a factor except for a few minutes of rebounding minutes. Her 7' frame is carrying all the weight it can and still she is awkwardly not a player (coincidentally with last name of "Mulkey"---no relation).

In a month I hope I'm helping you guys know where to find south Dallas bbq if you're interested. African American community has several "joints" (take-out only) that we crazy Texans will stand in line 2 hours just to get a carry out.

Baylor, as a UConn fan living in Dallas area, enjoyed your post. One difference in UConn's top players is that most tend to focus as much on their fitness as their skill set. Likely good C Paris didn't go north-her skills were strong but didn't fit the motion tendencies of both UConn's offense and defense.
 
Louisville lands 2019 Ramani Parker, Prospects Nation #15, ESPN #58, Blue Star #28.

Also considered Notre Dame, Duke, Ohio State, Michigan, and Oregon State.
