November Recruiting Thread

Jaloni Cambridge

Cambridge is a star in the making, and she is not afraid of the big moment. She has the utmost belief in herself and the consistent hard work she has put in the gym. The Sophomore sensation plays with so much passion and confidence, that it is exciting and fun to watch. She has a lightning-quick release that allows for easy catch and shoot threes, and when she is coming off a ball screen she’s looking to score. Whether that be an off-the-dribble three or getting to her spot either one is a shot she is capable of making. Cambridge makes the difficult look easy, such as coming off the ball screen floating right and knocking down the three. However, the interesting thing about Cambridge is her athleticism highlights on the defensive end, with impressive blocks on undersized guards.

11/6


Ayanna Patterson's senior season began Saturday, one day after her 18th birthday.

24 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3-PT, 11-14 FT), 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block

I like the FT percentage. After missing first 2 FT's, made 11-12. A positive development since she shot 60% from the line last year.

What in the world?... KK Arnold is "generously" listed as 5'6" (allegedly) yet in these highlights most times she is the tallest person on the floor. Clearly she is a skilled player but is this really a highlight package to be proud of when you appear to be playing against grade school kids?

I've seen her highlights before. What impresses me is he eyes are always up. That sounds easy but many player put there head down when driving by someone. She knows where the ball is without looking for it. What you want in a pg. Oh, she seems very fast

This looks like "Gabby Williams" to me. Damn is she athletic and have a good handle with the ball, or what?

Kiki Rice blew her opportunity for me as a selfish UCONN fan!!! :):)

Can you imagine how fast a lineup/skill of a lineup UCONN would have with her at the PF, playing with a lineup of Paige, Azzi, Kiki, Carolyn, Nika, Edwards, and Brady?

Her game is absolutely made for fullcourt and it appears she can guard any position within reason..

Arnold is very good. Her best asset, and you don't have to know much about basketball to understand this, is that she moves at a faster pace than everyone else on the floor. My concern is the size and the ability to be a lead guard. Very much like Crystal Dangerfield although she was very good offensively, at that size she gives up a lot of clean looks from the perimeter.

Who would you rather have in '23 and why?
  1. Mikaylah Williams or Judea Watkins (SG)
  2. Madison Booker or Chloe Kitts (SF)
  3. Delaney Thomas or Cierra Toomey (PF)
  4. Breya Cunningham or Aliyah De Rosario (C)
  5. Ashlynn Shade or Kamorea Arnold (PG)
I realize UCONN will likely not have roster spots for 5 players in '23 but don't let that stop you.
 
I asked this as a general question, and I was referred here.

Are we actively recruiting either Mikaylah Williams or Judea Watkins?

I do not following recruiting enough to have super detailed, factual responses but I’ll have at it anyways for fun
1. M Williams, I liked the way she played on 3 v 3. For some reason I just don’t really care for the way Watkins plays, I’m not into volume shooters. (Haven’t watched much so no one take what I’m saying too seriously)
2. Don’t really know much about Kitts so I’ll go with Booker.
3. Toomey seems to be most universally wanted on the boneyard so I’ll trust my peers
4. Cunningham, she seems like she has a better work ethic and could reach her potential a lot sooner
5. Shade because she’s taller

I think that for choices such as these, a major consideration should be how enthusiastic the recruit is about UConn vs. other schools. In any of these cases, if one person says that she has been watching UConn on TV since she was 6 and has wanted to go there since she was 10, while the alternative choice is ho-hum about UConn, that should count for a lot. And I think it does.

That's actually a good point (enthusiasm for UCONN) for example, it is my understanding that Ashlynn Shade has made "multiple" unofficial to Lady Vols already. Madison Booker on the other hand called two coaches for advice prior to her U16 USA basketball trials. One of those coaches was Geno and the other was Nikki McCray prior to her stepping down at MSU. Arnold came to a Scrimage and Toomey said she will definitely visiting UCONN and said things got real for her once UCONN offered. Cunningham and Watkins are of course West Coast kids and Cunningham has a HS teammate and has already visited Oregon. Delaney Thomas helped moved Azzi into her dorm room in late June.

I’m down with 1. Williams and hoping she can be a scoring PG like Bueckers. 2. Kitts 3. Toomey for her multidimensional game.

1) I have and will continue to voice my preference for Watkins. However, if UConn wants to go toward Williams I ain't mad one bit

2) Again, Kitts is nice, but Booker just, to me, screams playa more.

3) Toomey. See above.

4) Cunningham. Del Rosario just has too many areas to improve. Starting with her motor and her learning to use her height and strength to dominate for long stretches.

5) Too close to call. My coin flip just landed on its edge.
 
1. Williams
2. Booker
3. Both. Too good to pass up. Athletic, versatile players are becoming more appealing to the staff.
4. Neither. The Huskies are good up front for a year or two.
5. Shade but Arnold is a nice fall back if Shade wants to be a Vol.

1. Williams. I liked her game in the 3x3 tourney. She looks like an absolute stud, especially on offense.

2. Booker. I know more about her, but I like that she is athletic and could be a defensive stopper.

3. Toomey. She seems like the prototype stretch 4. Long, shooter, shot blocker, seems like a great kid. But I also like Azzi's former teammate.

4. Cunningham. Strong and more fit, though a little shorter.

5. Shade. Could be a prolific scorer. KK looks really good, fast and skilled, but short.
 
I don't think Shade and Arnold are an either/or because Shade is not a PG, imo. In this scenario Shade/Williams is a better question.
