[Charliebball]

OK time to start this thread as 2021's are starting to get attention from UConn

1. ellonya Tiny Green‏ @CoachTinyGreen 1h1 hour ago
   Gino don't go watch a kid play four times in a weekend who's a freshman unless they're a damn baller
   
   
2. And by the way please don't ever ever say there's a better 2021 then Destiny Adams you sound so ridiculous if you do that

Greene tends to really hype his players so I'm a bit leery of his comments, but here are some reports on Adams just in case.


Destiny Adams is a versatile, 6’1 prospect who turned heads for the Jersey Warriors Basketball Club this weekend. Adams has the size, build, and three point range of a stretch four player, but the explosiveness on the drive and ability to wrap the ball up and finish through contact to make us think she can stick on the wing as well. When she rebounds, she will take it herself and start the break. There’s a maturity to her game that makes it safe to use words like exciting potential.

Destiny Adams 6’01 W (Manchester HS, NJ 2021)

Smooth athletic wing that can play either forward position. Won MVP of the 8 th grade game, showed range to the three-point line and also displayed the ability to play with her back to the basket.

G-Thing All-Star Classic 2017


Destiny Adams - 2021 - 6'1 - Small Forward - Manchester HS, Manchester, NJ -

The MVP showed why she is one of top 21' prospects in New Jersey. Adams displayed some of her furious interior presence, Blocking shots in then getting out in transition to finish at the other end. She brought her A game, showing now that she is a dual threat on the wing or somewhere around the basket. Interior player who offense is starting shine... shot blocker... physical... mid-range gamer... rebounds on both sides... strong... expanding her game to the outside...

believe me I know Tiny can get carried away..........he thought my daughter could be a decent DI player (more likely DIII).......... but I saw DA play last year and she was ridiculously good and dominated against very good competition often 2-3 years older.......best athlete that I've seen in person at that level since Diamond Miller..........really just a question of whether she ends up top 100 or top 20 in my book...........

 

[Charliebball]

I know that following recruits twitter accounts is totally strange to some, meaningless to others but I have to salute '21 guard Caroline Ducharme who retweets more UConn stories then any other potential Husky.........she's a well regarded 5'10" guard from Massachusetts who obviously has UConn in her plans..............

Blue Star 30-June 2016: Fundamental off-guard offers smooth stroke on jumper to the arc; brings back court size, manufactures, delivers off the dribble. (Olson)

USJN-July 2015: Agile off-guard with a scorer's mentality; triple-threat attack breaks down defender, elevates with smooth release on jumper; emerging as an elite prospect in the class of 2021. (Olson)

Caroline Ducharme 6’01 G MCW Starz (MA)

Big time player with many tools, scorers mind set, has stroke and range off the bounce. Can get to the rim off the bounce and moves without ball. Did a good job rebounding

2/17

2021 Amari DeBerry scored 19 points but her team lost a close one to undefeated Cardinal O'Hara.

Here's what O'Hara's coach had to say about her after the game:

 

[DEpup]

This thread needs to begin and end with Azzi Fudd. I've seen her in person and she is the real thing. When I saw her set screens for her teammates when everyone knew she was the best scorer on the team, I knew she was UConn material.

If UCONN is not recruiting Amari DeBerry in 2021 they need to be recruiting someone that can guard her. Word in the gym is she is "The Truth". Both Fudd & DeBerry for UCONN in 2021.

 

[DEpup]

Totally agree! Those two are no brainers for 21!

 

[paisan]

At my age I don’t plan that far ahead ... just look forward to this tourney and hope for a high level of skill and a little bit o luck

Is it just me, or is it difficult to get excited about players this young in their HS careers?

Nah. It's you. But it's all good.

We are talking about basketball prodigies...............they are a long way off from a recruiting standpoint but it is interesting to see how their basketball skills develop over the four years...............I would agree that game statistics don't necessarily mean a whole lot though

[Sluconn Husky]

Both Fudd & DeBerry for UCONN in 2021.

That would be very Stewie-Mo Jeffish on paper. I would be thrilled with either. Getting both might lead to an antitrust rule for the Huskies.

 

[jaundicedeye]

Is it just me, or is it difficult to get excited about players this young in their HS careers?

Agreed. Nice to look ahead but it is an invitation for three years of anxiety. I am already stressed and we haven't brought what might be a promising 2019 catch into the boat yet!

UCONN has not landed a 2019 recruit as of yet but UCONN has said no to some pretty impresive 2019 talent. River Balwin, Anaya Peoples, Zia Cooke to name a few. What that tells me is that @Tonyc may be correct, and UCONN has bigger fish in mind for 2019.

Here's to bigger fish!

I haven't done the graduation analysis but perhaps it's the 2020 class that's the priority here............it s absolutely stacked.............

 

[Charliebball]

Here's a 2021 forward from Australia with some nice skills..........clearly a work in progress but possibly worth keeping an eye on..............

I've seen Azzi Fudd in person. Her jump shot is a thing of beauty. I'm very excited.

Fudd is hands down the most physcally/skill/ basketball IQ polished prospect ever at her age. She is just that special!

Nice early call on that Charlie.
Destiny and her Manchester Township had a great run, winning the sectional championship (first link). Of course, they they had the misfortune if running into the holy troika of Dara, Faith and Lola of Manasquan. If you read the second linked article, you can see their coach realizes there is no shame in that and his team -- which is young -- did great.

Manchester had a number of injuries this year and never played to their full potential..........extremely talented team that should dominate next season............BTW my daughter's team is playing tonight in the group semifinals in Toms River after beating Pascack Valley for the second time in a war last week..........don't want to jinx it but they are two more wins from the TOC
