Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4979891, member: 12088"] I finally got to see an entire Neenah HS game and it revealed a lot about Allie’s skills and experience. Neenah starts a pretty small lineup. At 6’0” Allie is the biggest kid and even jumps the opening tip-off. I hadn’t realized this. They can bring in another six footer, but they mainly play the small lineup. Allie has good handles, can rebound and pass, runs the floor well and can go end to end on the break. But most of all, she’s a deadly perimeter shooter. One thing that strikes me is that she may not have a lot of experience playing against other big guards. This may mean she’ll have to get used to getting her shot off against D1 defenders. I think she’ll figure it out, but there will be a learning curve. I think she’s not as athletic (in the sense of quickness and strength) as the competition she’ll face in UConn practices. In some respects, her style of play is reminiscent of Caroline. The shooting motion, the way she operates in the lane, her passing. Of course, she gives up 2 inches to Caroline and a good deal of muscle. My conclusion is that she may not take many minutes from Ash, at least not until later in the season. Ash may give up a couple inches, but she looks to be in much better physical condition [/QUOTE]
