Something learned about KLS, besides the obvious:

[carpe diem]

She is one tough cookie! Hit in the jaw, hard landings on the floor, no problem.

 

[MilfordHusky]

She is supposed to be tougher than her older sisters. It may come from being the little kid.

The refs should have called Lou for a foul for whackng that SMU kid with her jaw.

Lou is awesome. I am so impressed with her. After seeing her sisters play, I have to admit that I thought she'd be a shooter and not much else. But she is really, really, really, really really good.

I think the first "wow" with her was how quickly she caught on playing defense. She went from clueless to being a monster.

 

[rugbymate]

She seems to be rapidly developing the intangible of being in the right place at the right time

 

[bags27]

there she goes again on post-game: she's feeling more comfortable but she's sure that the coaches don't agree. she's really loving the challenges.

That's the right attitude. Look for her on pre-season ballots next year.

 

[sarals24]

Her defense is really incredible. How I wish she got to play with Stewie for two years instead of one...

She uses her length well, and her footwork has improved. She's more confident and aggressive.

Geno only requires 3 "reallys" to express ultimate approval or ultimate praise.

Say "hell yes " about KLS!!! Katie Lou Conn is doing her damn thing as a freshman growing into the college level, from Gatorade high school POY, from 30 PPG, and from high school national #1. She showed small signs against ND last December, and she's beating kids over the head with those signs now.

If you tell me KLS gets 40 points over her next two games, I'll say we've got a deal!

I look forward to another opportunity to say hell yes about KLS...soon!

Katie Lou should be FOY 2016

Katie Lou should be FOY 2016

Yup, hard to argue at this point, but I think that like Stewie, she doesn't think too much about that kind of accolade, but instead NCAA Championship.

Well, four, actually. Not to be picky.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Who are the leading frosh this year? Asia Durr was ranked #2 behind Lou. After a slow start, she's averaging 10.9 ppg, mostly off the bench.

Kristine Anigwe of Cal is a name I often hear mentioned as FOY candidate. I also believe Ogunbowale of Notre Dame, despite not starting, has gotta be in the mix as well.

Not a chance of that happening.... there are many freshman playing much better than KLS, Anigwe from Cal, Sheppard from Nebraska. May be if KLS had been playing like this the entire year, she would be in the conversation.

The Cornhusker kid is probably the leader.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Geno, of course, wants more from Lou:

"She made five three-pointers tonight, and that is what the person before her did. You have to do more than that in order to win national championships.”

 

[pvdoggy]

The Cornhusker kid is probably the leader.

Anigwe's overall stat looks better than Sheppard, and they both dwarf KLS's stat. I am a huge fan of KLS, but people who think she should be NFOY have blinders on.

UConn beat Nebraska 88-46, 11/28/2015, KLS 14 pts, 0 TO, Sheppard 10 pts, 5 TOs
CAl 12-15 may not even be in the NCAA tournament.

 

[Mdoggie]

Whenever I post about her on Socalhoops, man o man do the haters come out. Very polarizing locally by SoCal "experts" (parents). I see the potential. I figure Geno knows WTH he is doing when he recruits.

Silly me... you meant National Freshman of the Game, and here I thought you meant body of work over an entire season.

Curious as to what do some people not like about KLS in SoCal ?
