AEH might as well roll up those numbers this year...........somehow I don't see her scoring in the 40's in a UConn uniform

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nope. Just 38 in the one game. Way off.

Oops. But she made up for it with 51. She's averaging a whopping 44.5 ppg.

If she scores 10 ppg times 150+ games, I'll be happy.

Megatron's stats from Saturday's 74-67 win over Cathedral:

31 points on 11-29 shooting (low % for her). 2-8 on threes; 9-21 inside the arc; 7-8 on FTs (that may be her first miss of the season; I think she's 19-20); 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, 3 turnovers.

Also, 17 appears to be a preferred number for Espinoza-Hunter as she has 17 3-pointers, 17 assists and 17 steals in the four games.

Sounds like somebody has been reading DavidinNaples.

Andra Espinosa-Hunter somehow captured the lohud girls player of the week award after averaging 43 points, 4 assists, 4.6 boards, and 4.6 steals in her two games.

note............only the Lohud not the UpperHud

 

[Kaizen]

AEH had 51 pts in 12/11 in a 86 - 66 win over Our Lady of Lourdes ?
She is almost as good as Chong.

Pete Maravich? Calvin Murphy? Why not?

That has been in the back of my mind as I read of her exploits at Ossining this year. With few exceptions you never know what you have until at least deep into Frosh season at UConn.

Highlight package of Walker's season debut:

Couldn't understand what she was saying at the end. Anybody?

 

[UcMiami]

tonehill68 - thanks so much. We have most of the individual games posted, but really nice to see it as a composite.

 

[Gus Mahler]

With the addition of Camara inside and Stevens on the inside/outside plus Walker's all court game....add the long range shooting of AEH and Lexi and Coomb's dynamic athleticism I simply don't even know what to say..

How about: Opponents need to eat their vegetables?

Seriously, I'm eager to see Coombs's athleticism, and whether she can be a defensive stopper. Always nice to have one of those.

When it comes to players/minutes, next year will be the antithesis to this year for Geno and company

She was just promoting the site that made the video: "Shout out to the first girls that make plays" or very close to that.

There’s one simple reason Megan Walker is the number one player in the 2017 class. It’s not complicated; she’s just better than the rest and works at it. Don’t take that as a put down of the class, it’s not. It’s a compliment to Walker and the constant advancements that she’s made to her game over the years. Her performance Friday night versus highly regarded National Christian included a 31 point first half that was impressive to anyone in the gym. The confidence she’s playing with allows her to maintain an elite level in her game even on nights when she might struggle. Walker is the ideal teammate and makes those around her better. She has a strong understanding of the game including time and score, something rare on the high school level. The UConn signee is always fun to watch unless you’re sitting on the other bench.

20 points for Lexi Gordon on Tuesday (12/13).

 

[Sluconn Husky]

This Espinoza-Hunter streak is laughable at this point.

She scored 46 last night (12/13), apparently in well under three quarters of play.

Hope she's not taking every shot.

Shea Ralph was in attendance.
