KK Bransford – 2022 – 5-11 – Swing Player – Mt. Notre Dame – Dynamic, multifaceted player…Well known for years…Possibilities now becoming realities…Confidence and maturity fueling each other…Navigates traffic with explosive steps covering lots of ground…Goes up with impressive body control and is handling contact more and more consistently…Vertical gets her clean looks in the crowd…Form is there but jumper isn’t yet a consistently called on part of the arsenal…Once it is, Good luck…The same physical attributes setting her apart offensively provide the tools to make an impact on the other end in multiple spots

Early Holiday Jump Start - Bluestar Media

CINCINNATI, Ohio– With the state of Ohio moving their opening day for scholastic basketball one week earlier this year, Bryce McKey, Tenishia Benson and OGBR weren’t going to let the opportunity pass to move the fourth annual Journey to the Tourney off the ultra-congested Thanksgiving weekend...

Aaliyah Edwards scored 32 points--21 in the 1st half--in a 101-71 Crestwood victory Friday.

Paige Bueckers scored 25 as Hopkins beat Rosemount 80-45. One point of interest is that Rosemount's school logo is a green shamrock with the word Irish written across it.

Sweet move. Faster than Dirk.

More highlights from Friday's game in which Bueckers became the all-time scoring leader at Hopkins:

I absolutely love watching Paige play. She literally looks like a seasoned sophomore in college out there on the court, and she's only a senior in high school. It's no wonder she has played up in all kinds of Team USA squads, and has been one of the best on the teams, even tho she's often the youngest.

While I want to enjoy every minute of this current UCONN team, I absolutely cannot wait to see Paige suit up for Husky Nation...

I want #34 also!!!

Maya Nnaji, a 6-4 forward ranked in the top-10 in 2022.

With that first name she will do well at UCONN.

Hopkins is fun to watch because Bueckers is surrounded by good players. I think 4 of her team mates have D1 offers. And their best players are still underclassmen (other than Bueckers). If teams rush to guard her she passes to open players who can score. Nnagi can really run the floor and she makes her layups.
I think over the last 2 years I've watched 50 times more minutes of Hopkins games than the entire rest of HS games. It's really too bad that MInn. rules prevent them from playing out of state.

Three top-11 teams and ... Oklahoma? A little surprised to see UConn on it, but Geno watched her AAU team a few times and Lister was in WA, so I guess they really like her.

Von Oelhoffen is a skilled offensive player with passing skills that can shoot. Can't really have enough of those.

Makes me think she might be ahead of Ducharme and Citron in the pecking order.

Does this news imply UConn takes 4 in 21?

No.

This news implies that based on the information we currently have, there is a 20% chance she ends up at UConn.

With Saylor already in hand I would love to be a fly on the wall when that pecking order for another big G/W is discussed: Ducharme, Citron, Von Oelhoffen, Rivers, Verhulst,Marshall, Wolfenbarger, & Key some pretty good choices.

Lots of talent out there on the UConn radar. Maybe a bigger net then years past? Or maybe we're just more in the know now.

Maybe Geno just wants to see what a 15-player roster feels like before he retires.

Here is it officially:

Maybe we have to have another stud 2 guard ready to come in Fudd goes elsewhere.
