Highlights from November's Potterhouse/Blackman game including a slew of Crystal Dangerfield's.

Boothe had a huge game and looks very good.

When there is a loose ball on the floor, Moriah--er, Crystal--almost always comes up with it and is at full speed within a step. She is really good and really, really fun to watch.
 
Crystal looks like the second coming of Moriah-just shorter. It's going to be an exciting next 5 years.
 
Fuller interviewed Mt. Lebanon (Pa.) High School coach Dori Oldaker who knows Kyla Irwin well:

"A great kid, very talented," Oldaker said. "She can get up and down the floor and I think she will be a swing (forward at UConn). The thing I love about her is that she loves the game. What is nice about her is she can go inside/outside. She is going to be a hard matchup; at the high school level she is a very hard matchup."

And coached the 3x3 team at the Youth Olympics:

"It was fun watching them in what they are doing at the high school level and it will be fun watching them on TV next year," Oldaker said. "They really compete, they are great kids, they have a great deal of respect and are true leaders, true teammates."

Yo Slu - thanks for the link. It makes it easy to learn the inside info when others post this good stuff. I appreciate the time you put into all this.
 
Her H.S. graduation is Saturday, but she will miss it.
College starts on Monday, she will make it.
Best wishes to a very special person who takes the next step in her career.
Good Luck KLS, nothing but health and happiness for the next 4 years, and then forever.
:):(:cool::D

Another successful AAU weekend (5/23 - 5/25) for Crystal Dangerfield. Her Kentucky Premier won their Elite Division at the Midwest Showdown in Ohio. She and Erin Boley were named co-MVP's. Here's a recap from Bob Corwin:


Crystal Dangerfield, 5-5, point guard, 2016, Kentucky Premier - Parmley (Blackman High School, Murfreesboro, Tennessee) - Elite Division co-MVP

Dangerfield has been featured previously on Swish Appeal. Orally committed to Connecticut, she is one of the top point guard prospects in the 2016 class thanks to her combination of speed, quickness. ball handling ability, penetration ability, court vision and game understanding.

Napheesa and KLS are parade all American's, interestingly KLS is listed as a guard.

The other interesting thing is that they named Durr their player of the year, the first award KLS hasn't won.

Not saying whether Durr deserves or not - she has been up there anyways - probably 2nd on many ratings. But in regards to parade - they are awful. Years ago - CParker was consensus number 1 - and they chose a pg. I've forgotten some of the either strange picks they made - but 2 years ago I believe they chose Saniya.
 
Napheesa is officially on campus for the summer session, the fun & work begins tomorrow!! Morgan & Saniya are her roommates for the summer....she is jn good hands with them, UCONN & CT as a whole!!

Maybe a little. Morgan is listed at 6'2" but, I believe, is no more than 6'1-1/2". Napheesa is supposed to be 6'1".

High temps only mid 50's. Lowest high for June in 100 years for Connecticut. More seasonal this coming week.

It's been well into the 80s here in D.C., but I see 2 days of cooling in the forecast for this week.

Prospects Nation updated their 2016 player ranking. They moved Crystal Dangerfield up to #2 ahead of Joyner Holmes. Still no Kyla Irwin. Ionescu up to #4, McCoy at #8. Lauren Cox still the top dog.

It's interesting, two Tennessee high school ballers in the top 10, and Lady Vols missed out on both of them. I doubt that would have happened a few years ago. Times are a changin'.

Article on Kyla Irwin's inspiring athlete award:


Kyla Irwin also knows she may hear from more college coaches, but it would be tough to convince her to change her mind.

“They might be thinking about it,” Irwin laughed, “but they won’t budge me anywhere.”

Yes, she's not hard to like. A quote from her in the article that caught my eye:

Even as she continues playing club basketball this spring and summer, playing in tournaments, she still works on her game and tries to improve.

“The standard of a UConn commit is a major thing,” said the 6-foot-2 junior forward.
 
Just curious if we should not terminate this thread and start a new one for 2016 and beyond since the 2015s are on campus already? It has been a great thread for gathering all the information on the commits, but is a bit unwieldy at this point.

I was going to ask that question soon, maybe after the summer session since Dangerfield and Irwin might still play more AAU ball.
