UConn Signees: Christyn W. and ONO

[MilfordHusky]

I think the UConn staff are coaching and encouraging her.

James Harden is an apt comparison. Left handed, same number, similar moves. Harden has the Beard; Christyn has the Puff.

James Harden is an apt comparison. Left handed, same number, similar moves. Harden has the Beard; Christyn has the Puff.

She's in a video a while back rejecting the comparison, saying unlike him she is truly ambidextrous

Actually it is her ESPN commitment interview around 1:40 in.

No. 1 prospect Christyn Williams signs with Connecticut Huskies

Wow 21 rebounds at 5’11 is impressive for someone not named Gabby. If her rebounding translates to college, she could have a few triple doubles in her career, I expect her assist number to go up playing with the talent she’ll have around her next year and beyond.

Christyn Williams and CAC play for a state title on Friday night. Their state final loss two years ago is still up online. Perhaps Friday's game will be broadcast too.

Christyn Williams named to the 2018 Naismith first team, Olivia Nelson-Ododa to the second.

Numerous UConn recruiting targets made the 3rd team or honorable mention:

Brunelle, Bueckers, Jones, Brink

Still, like Parker, Nelson-Ododa checks in at 6-foot-5 and can consistently throw down dunks with ease.


She has yet to dunk in a game, but regularly dunks in practice.


“I don’t do too many tricks with my dunks,” said Nelson-Ododa, who is ranked No. 5 overall in the ESPN Hoop Gurlz 100. “I have my one-hander that I’m confident with. I just need to keep practicing. Maybe I’ll work on some tricks too.”

Knee looks pretty good to me on that dunk. Didn't realize she had that kind of explosion back.

Also nice to see her listed at 6'5, instead of 6'4.

The left knee is the surgically-repaired one ?

I'm thinking you're going to have to add Ezi to this thread real soon.

 

[Bills Fan]

What a class that would be. Only thing missing is a KLS, able to do everything especially shoot from the wing, type.

That's why I see Sam B. in the next class as a must have.

Add Jones and Bueckers in the next class and the beat goes on!

Congrats to Christyn and good luck tonight, I think she should get the Morgan Wooten Award and Gatorade Player of the Year as well.

Geno in Hot Springs tonight to watch Christyn Williams try to go out with a state title.

Is it against the rules for Geno to coach on the sidelines?

If Christyn loses, Geno will give her hell. Lets go CAC.
