Possible UConn 2021 Recruits

Assuming Geno is also watching Amari DeBerry at the Nike Nationals in Chicago.

Pretty extensive interviews by Mike Flynn of Elauna Eaton & Caroline Ducharme. Mike covers a lot of ground from coming back from injury for both players to school stop recruiting these players because of injuries. Great work ethic by both players. Seems like I have seen this movie before: Highly ranked HS player gets hurt in HS and work her way back from injury to have a great UCONN career.

whenever I see a Caroline Decharme mention I have to add that she is a big UConn follower..........I think she would like nothing better then getting a UConn offer.......

2021 is shaping up nicely and might have as many quality playmakers as 2020.
2020: Clark, Van Lith, Bueckers, & Andrews
2021: Fudd, Miles, Rivers, & Rayah Marshall. Also interesting that each class seems to have 1 post that is head and shoulders above the rest (2021-DeBerry:2020-Brink)

Is Marshall a guard? I saw some YouTube highlights of her high school team, and she played mostly inside the paint.

ESPN says she a combo guard at 6'3".

U What that tells me is that @Tonyc may be correct, and UCONN has bigger fish in mind for 2019.

Here's to bigger fish!

Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish. Gotta be who you are in this world, no matter what. (Robert McCall)

 

[Charliebball]

I assume Tiny means the Shoreshots..............No doubt to see Justine Pissott and Sophia Sabino............I believe Pissot who is 6'1" with an excellent all game is actually a 2023 but playing up..............Sabino is a solid ball handler and passer but also a freakish defender is either a '21 or '22

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Has to be Destiny Adams right? She's the biggest name on that team.

Except a post-game photo and report makes it appear Adams wasn't there.

I don't think Adams plays for the Shoreshots...........UConn has watched them play several times in the past too..........Pisott and Sabino are supposed to be the real deal.........I've seen Pissott at NBS and you'd think she was a really good high school junior or senior skillwise

She was playing for them as little as five months ago.

Forgot to mention, Fordham offered Nicole Melious. I guess when you have no shot at a player throw yourself at her while she's in 7th grade.

I think she might be on the Warriors or Team Miller............I've certainly been wrong before but I really don't remember her being on the Shoreshots

Yup......................here she is...........

 

[donalddoowop]

Yup.......here she is......

So, which one is she? Also, how do you get to see so many highly rated players?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

So, which one is she?

The one wearing #1 in the back row, 2nd from the right.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I mentioned Nicole Melious getting an offer from Fordham earlier. She's destroying her AAU competition as usual. In the past 10 days Melious has reportedly had the following stats:

30 points including 8 threes
23 points, 8 rebounds, 10 assists
27 points, 10 assists
34 points
32 points
29 points
37 points
53 points including 11 threes

for the past few years in the summer my daughter has been working out down at the Jersey shore at a facility where many of the better players train..............we combine it with some time at the beach to make it fun............she's also been lucky enough to play in high school against some really good teams like Saddle River Day, IHA and Lodi Immaculate...........we also go to tournaments she's not playing in just to watch............so I've been lucky to watch a lot of good NJ/NY basketball

And we've all benefited from that, thanks very much!
(As opposed to me, who will try to venture from my northern NJ home base from time to time to see HS games.)

Will have to see some of these "newer" prospects....when they're in high school? Geesh, is that right? (Having typed that, I'm liking the non-contact rule before junior year lacrosse implemented even more. Yes, I know you still have to see them, but scholarship offer in 7th grade?)

glad to pass on what I see/hear.......it's enjoyable and won't last much longer.........as far as Melious is concerned.............she is driven literally and figuratively by a somewhat maniacal dad..........works out 6-7 days a week 52 weeks out of the year which could lead to greatness or high school burnout..........................or both

really glad to see UConn paying attention to these extremely advanced young players from NJ

New reported UConn target: 6-1 guard/wing Sonia Citron out of Ursuline Academy in New York.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Citron averaged 20 points, 14 rebounds, and 8.5 assists as a freshmen.


Sonia Citron – 2021 – 6-0 – Guard/Forward – Hudson Valley Elite 16 Gold – Interesting mix of post and perimeter skills…Will hit the three off the jab…Comfortable handling the ball to score off the bounce…Comes to a jump stop and utilizes pivot foot to score

"Next" From National Harbor - Bluestar Media


What Citron brings to the table though is an incredible skill set that stood out at the Live at the House event during the September Live Period.

At 6'0" Citron is a floor general who is as good off the dribble as anyone that we saw in the deep and talented event held at House of Sports. Getting to the basket, Citron showed that she could use her combination of speed, size, and strength to finish against near anyone, and when she stepped out Citron also showed great range and the ability to connect from all over the court.

Citron herself says that while she thrived primarily on the ball for the Westchester Lady Bears and Hudson Valley Elite this summer on the AAU circuit, she can comfortably play the lead guard spot if that is what Ursuline head coach Beth Wooters needs, though she is willing to do anything for the team's ultimate success.

20 and 14 as a freshman? Sounds like Kalana Greene.

Remiss of me to say, before some critic says it, that there isn't much jump in that jump shot. WRONG! She's taken the shot and on her way down.

 

[Charliebball]

if I remember correctly Ursuline got crushed by Griffin's Ossining team by like 25 points........
