U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

Odd to me that ProspectsNation still has not updated their site with Abby Prohaska's commitment. Now they had early 2018 class rankings come out today and they only listed Gilbert for ND.

C'mon her announcement tweet was retweeted by the NDWBB account, what more confirmation do you need? So much for them being #CommitmentCentral

Do you really think a red-haired, soon-to-be Irish warrior is going to change her mind and mission? :D;)
 
Well, all the mystery surrounding UConn's interest in Olivia Nelson-Ododa can stop now. Geno was in the stands as she scored 27 points Thursday.


Junior center Olivia Nelson-Ododa caused the main damage, scoring 27 points (including 11 in the second quarter) and wreaking defensive havoc on the other end of the floor.

....

Nelson-Ododa’s performance, in particular, came at a good time as legendary UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma was in the stands scouting.
“It was a big thrill for Olivia and she had a great night for us offensively and defensively,” Thomas said.


Lady Bulldoggs even record at 3-3; Boys win pair to go to 4-3 - MainStreetNewsSports

Nelson-Ododa also scored 29 points on Wednesday. Quite a week for her.
 
Has an interesting three team scrimmage today facing two of the top post players in the NY/NJ area.......Patterson Eastside and their 6'9" post Andrea Aquino (ESPN #11 post) along with 6'3'" post Mariah Perez from Newark Tech.............frankly Aquino is still a work in progress, she runs the floor very well and blocks shots with regularity but show a lack of aggression at both ends of the court....pretty good shooting form but with limited success.....good from the foul line........Perez is clearly better offensively but doesn't have nearly the defensive presence that Aquino has...........they'll both play DI ball but neither are UConn material............

She doesn't have UConn listed as programs she's considering last time I checked. She has all schools in the south..GA, Gtech, TN, SC...except 1 and it wasn't UConn. Seems she wants to stay close to home.

Wouldn't pay much attention to ESPN's school lists.

I have a feeling ONO will join UConn.

She also really 'blew up' in terms of national perception this past summer, so an initial list of interest was more likely to be more local - places she could easily visit, where teammates/friends had gone, and schools cared on regional sports networks. Doubt Geno would have been there unless they had some contact and positive response.

I'm aware that ONO blew up to #1. Where was she ranked before--about #40??
 
Take that MW!!!:p

Destiny Littleton drops 68 points tonight in only 3 quarters of play.... she's on a rampage!

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.

Heck, Holly'll be able to just roll the balls out at practice. Won't have to coach at all.

Article per Raul on Jordan Nixon

Sure looks like a player that is on Fordham (and that looks like the Rose Hill Gymnasium).

In any case, it was sure fun to read an article from the "New York Amsterdam News," even if the photo is seemingly mismatched. My wife is Columbia Teachers College graduate and I used to come see her up in Morningside Heights and the Amsterdam News would be around to read at coffee shops, diners.

As per Jordan Nixon, her name caught my attention when she was at Horace Mann, which is one good college prep school. She's now at Mary Louis Academy, which is also the home of Danielle Patterson, soon to be a member of Notre Dame.

With Lindsay Allen (finally) graduating -- she's started at ND since her first game frosh year -- we'll need a PG to join Ali Patberg. Scott-Grayson and Nixon certainly look to be among the cream of the crop in 2018.

You're right. Those players have Fordham uniforms on and are playing in Fordham's gym !!!
I'm pretty sure that's not Jordan Nixon.

Tuition at Horace Mann is $43,000 per year. That's from kindergarten through 12th grade. I'm not sure of the cost of pre school.

Oh no, not at all....very happy to have both of those guards on board for Fall 2018. But I'm thinking about point guards. Gilbert is really an off-guard (combo at best) and Prohaska isn't a point player (from what I can see/read, looks like a red-headed combination of Brittany Mallory/Megan Duffy/Hannah Huffman). Patberg will be our only true PG on the roster next year (2017-18) and given her health issues up to now, that's a bit concerning. Maybe Muffet will do a regular-season signing this spring, but if we don't, the Class of 2018 is the next chance for another PG. The "Bench" is a bit worried...would love to see Ali return to health .
 
NJ Press Report: Dara Mabrey goes for 33 in early-season match-up....

...for her #1-rated Girls HS team in NJ, Manasquan, over the #6-rated Red Bank Catholic Caseys (yes, that is their knickname, one of the coolest in NJ, IMHO), 66-62.

Due to pre-Xmas lunacy, I was not able to see this one, but I know the Star-Ledger reporter and he's not prone to that much hyperbole. Dara had three 3-pointers and a number of drives and free throws. She seemed confident and hot, after hitting her first few shots. I like the quote she gave about working on her game all summer.

Yes, she did score half of her team's points. That's unusual in that 'Quan is loaded with potential collegiate players, most notably forward Faith Masonius, pesky point guard Stella Clarke and transfer Lola Mullaney. Ms. Masonius, a board favorite and Class of 2019 target, had a double double. Lola Mullaney is a talented transfer from Colts Neck who makes this team even stronger and Stella Clarke (do all the Marlon Brando's on the board love that name?) is a smart distributor, pesky defender and motion machine who gets dead-ball rebounds like a hungry robin gets worms after a warm spring rain. :cool:

Best part about this performance, I'm guessing, is that sister Marina should've been able to catch this big Shore Conference game.
(There's a picture in the linked article that has her going up for a shot in which she looks just like Marina.)

Hope to get to a few games after the 25th and in January. Until then, happy holidays all!

Can you believe that Manasquan was not even in the ESPN top 30 nationally.....only Blair Academy was ranked in top 25 and St Rose was top 30....................

You really have to wonder how well researched these are...at least in the beginning of the year. After that, the actual results help prove what's in the pudding. Still, this team had the three team leaders back from a squad that lost the TOC in the 2nd overtime to a senior-laden team.
In addition to D. Mabrey, F. Masonius and S. Clark, Victoria Galvan is back from injury to take over the center slot and free Masonius to be a forward. And transfer Lola Mullaney is one of the better shooting/point guards of the class of 2019. They'll round into pretty super form.
