Thanks for posting; very nice article!

Curious re: Irwin's "game speed". For those that have seen her play, what's the story?

Nice! Congrats to Kyla. I think she'll add some nice qualities to our team. As a coach's daughter, she should be a very smart player.

I am hoping for a shorter versions of Stef.

Katie Lou wins OCRegister's POY for the third straight year:

What does Auriemma see when he compares Samuelson to Taurasi?


“They are both really, really hard to play against,” Auriemma said in an email. “They are both unselfish, great teammates and great scorers. They just come at it from a different perspective because they play different positions. But in terms of how they love the game and love to compete and rise to the occasion, I would say the two of them are very similar.”

Andra Espinosa-Hunter has been invited to the U-16 team tryouts. They take place May 21-25 with the tourney June 24-28.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Whoops, guess the Espinosa-Hunter news was mentioned in another thread a while ago. Oh well, if I didn't see it maybe others didn't either.

Crystal Dangerfield in AAU action this weekend. She seems to be playing for Kentucky Premier and not Tennessee Flight for some reason though.

Crystal Dangerfield continues to impress in today's (4/12) AAU clash:

Wearing #4 in AAU this spring

Wearing #4 in AAU this spring

She'll have to be really really really good to wear number 4, else the weight of that number will crush her.

She is rather small - might crush easily.

But she IS really really really good. I bet she wears it at UCONN.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crystal is an ankle-breaker extraordinaire.

 

[MilfordHusky]

She'll have to be really really really good to wear number 4, else the weight of that number will crush her.

We got more than 4,000 points and 2,000 rebounds from #31 over 8 seasons and 5,000 points and 700 treys from #23 over 8 seasons. It's only fitting that #4 gives us several hundred steals, a couple thousand assists, and millions of thrills.

MaxPreps named their All-American team today and it's loaded with Huskies and recruiting targets.

KLS and Dangerfield made the first team while Collier made the third.

Lauren Cox is on the second team and Megan Walker the fourth.

I saw the Oxon Hill game. DJB was hampered by her bad wrist, but gutted it out.

Kyla Irwin played some AAU ball last weekend. Her Central PA Elite team went 4-0.

 

[UcMiami]

Irwin really intrigues me - a coaches daughter who eats sleeps and breaths basketball. Quick and athletic enough to play VB (a fast game requiring good footwork and quick reactions and elevation.) She appears to have very good post moves and a nice touch from distance. But ... the competition level has generally not been national - so how what we see translates to the top level of college ball is very difficult to determine - similar to both Dolson and Chong in that respect.

From what I can tell the Jordan Brand Classic game in Brooklyn for the girls is 3:30pm eastern on ESPN3 only. I don't see it on regular TV anywhere.

Katie Lou, Napheesa, De'Janae are all playing.
