Message: [QUOTE="nomdoux, post: 4223197, member: 11245"] Wow, is Ice Brady skilled! Aware already but that article embedded video is a resounding reminder. We have discussed Ciera Toomey's impressive size/shooting/range/handle package extensively in the monthly Recruiting threads, but I don't recall enough such attention afforded to Ice. I see her as perhaps the most college-ready high-level D1 big to arrive in Storrs since Napheesa Collier, but really Brianna Stewart (not the same pique talent/ceiling but similar ability to impact the game in meaningful minutes as a freshman post). Aaliyah Edwards was college-ready physically, but her ability to contribute offensively was limited strictly to banging in the paint. Besides impressive shooting, footwork, dexterity, post play, handle for size, passing, fundamentals-- what separates Ice is her strong, sturdy frame. Unlike what we saw from Liv & now Amari early in their respective UConn careers, I don't anticipate Ice being pushed around in the paint nor shying away from contact starting Day 1 on campus. Her comfort with physicality, shooting range, passing, & handle will allow her to immediately play on the low block, high post, & even out to the 3-point arc while preserving Geno's coveted preference to space the floor. Ice's only present "weakness" may be conditioning for the college game, particularly at the pace/level that Geno demands. [/QUOTE]
