Blue Star's Mark Lewis who attended a recent Texas high school tournament:


Charli Collier – 2018 – 6-5 – Post – Barbers Hill – Continues to develop and add to her game…Increased strength…Passing the ball more effectively…Jump hook is showing much more refinement…Uses the high post drive more selectively…No longer settles for the perimeter looks…Depth of skills challenging defenders…Plays with effort on both ends

Jump hook! I love it. Sign her up!
 
Nice! I can imagine Crystal Dangerfield feeding the post like a beast! How are our chances?

WBB: Abby Prohaska, 5-8 G, Lakota West HS (West Chester, OH), has committed to Notre Dame; 2018 commit #2 for ND, joining Katlyn Gilbert.

So her Hoopgurlz profile says she is 5-8. Prospects Nation says she is 6-0. A Hoopgurlz article from March says she is 5-10.

I'll go with the 5-10 since that's what USAB listed her at.

A lefty who is supposed to be very physical and hasn't met a floor she won't dive on. This is making several Irish faithful think of Brittany Mallory. That would be a.o.k. for me! :D

Sounds good to me...looks like Niele's sky miles allowance might be able to be reduced a bit with the Gilbert/Prohaska early signings.

Don't know if you saw her play this summer.....she was a coaches favorite on the USA team..........played a fair amount of minutes............nice shot.............good form.............not the fastest player but physical and smart.........BTW................Playing against Michelle Sidor this weekend...........just a scrimmage....curious to see if she has improved over the summer

Just went on the USA site and was looking at that U17 team's stats - not overly impressive with a lot of the players getting significant minutes not producing very significant stats. It does make you wonder about the coaching.

Interesting to note that 2018 is looking more like 2016 with recruits committing quickly in their Junior year rather than 2017 where it seemed we got into September of their senior year before most of the 2017s made their choice. It is the end of November and 15 out of ESPNs top 60 have already given verbals.

Based on the actual stats - not all that true - averaged 13.3 minutes/game and scored 3.1 ppg - shot 30% overall and 23% from 3 and 62% on FTs - she did have 14 assists but also 10 TOs.
As I said above - the stats for that team were pretty problematic. As a team they had 98 assists and 151 TOs! Shooting was .37/.27/.69

Considering that she was pretty much an after thought among that group and based on the strange substitution patterns of those coaches 13.3 minutes is fairly significant..........I don't think too many kids shot well during that tournament.....her shooting form was excellent
 
You know, the interest and success Uconn is having in the TX region may be the result of membership in the AAC with its crazy geographic spread - with Tulsa, Houston, SMU and Tulane, plus Memphis there is a lot more exposure for the program in the region - add in H and H with Texas and Baylor and uconn is playing three games a year that are likely a long or short road trip away from that hot bed of talent. They have lost some of the mid-west exposure but still have Cinci, Temple replaces Villanova, and they have more exposure in FL and Carolina. Not everything about the AAC is terrible :rolleyes:

I noticed that, as well, Our two class of '16ers -- Boley and Young -- both signed up early, while Danielle Patterson was pretty close to the wire in 2017. And for 2018, we've already got two -- Ms. Prohaska and Ms. Gilbert -- committed.
Muffet is on record as saying he should have four, maybe even five, recruits in 2018 . Given how many have already committed, I wonder if this will become a buyers or sellers market from here on in.

"Glue" player is something I hear/read a lot of in regards to Prohaska. If she can attain that threshold, good, and indications are she might be able to go beyond that.

Look forward to hearing your take on Sidor. Saw a few lines here or there (Prospects Nation?) on her performance at various camps, all of which focused on long-range bombing or "ability to pour in points" (or something to the effect).

Whoa, the HS games will begin soon....will have to check out various holiday tournaments.

Excellent point. While we all lament the fact that UConn is not in a Power 5 conference, the geographic reach of the AAC gives a lot of recruits in TX, FL, TN, NC etc. the opportunity to see the Huskies play, get tickets behind the bench, stop by the locker room after the game and meet some of the players.

Being in ACC, would still be ideal. ACC comprises a nice group of states to recruit from. Also, the fact is UConn can recruit based on its name, success and geno. They have pulled top players from Cali. They got Williams from Nevada, etc..Examples of pulling kids in areas UConn never plays is common.

Besides Uconn being UConn as stated above. I would put more weight on Moriah connection, which helped TX inroads. Lexi Gordon and Charli Collier are friends by all reports. Collier and Christyn Williams played on the same AAU team and are supposedly buds. Collier signing could help land Williams

Is she related to Bria Hartley? ;)

While we've been paying attention to games that are played on the court, recruiting continues on, with big Amira Collins giving her nod to Tennessee. She's currently playing on the Paul VI uber high school team with other top-flight recruiting commits, including PG Honesty Scott-Grayson (say that five times fast) and ND commit Mikayla Vaughn, among others.

That's Holly's first commit for 2018, joining her pretty bountiful 2017 class.

Junior Amira Collins of Virginia's Paul VI give verbal commitment to Tennessee Lady Vols
