USA 16U Team Trials - General

Sluconn Husky said:
Paige Bueckers now officially on UConn radar:


"Geno was at one of our games and I was just freaking out inside," Bueckers said with a smile, talking about University of Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma. "But I knew that I had to keep calm inside because there was a game to play. I think I'm good at tuning all that stuff out. I go out there with my teammates and try to win the game."

...

"I think I'm a guard, neither a point guard nor shooting guard. I love to dish the ball off to my teammates. When I'm open I attack the basket, but I can shoot threes and the mid-range. On defense I get tips and blocks. I try to play with a lot of energy and have fun."

This is great news! Paige is another must get!!! A Brunelle/ Bueckers backcourt is just fine with me
 
Roster down to 37...Myra Gordon not listed. Someone help me out and post link from USA basketball please and thank you.

With so little basketball experience, I'm glad to see Fran still hanging in there...

Kinda strange that she's still there. I've seen almost no tweets about her except one today that stated she was finally playing with the effort level the person wanted to see.
 
A number of the BBall "experts" are scratching their heads about some of the recent cuts.......some think the evaluators might not be choosing the strongest team..........hear this every time these cattle calls take place
 
.-.
Flynn offers his final cuts........a number of players offering similar skill sets, altitude taking it's toll on different layers leading to up and down play.........doesn't include Brunelle..... shows just how difficult it will be for those choosing this morning

No Paopao or Rickea Jackson. A lot of the "gurus" were picking them. And I wonder why that site keeps listing Watson as a 6-3 guard with 11 others still on there.

You can blame the USA basketball Website. The following players grew at least an inch overnight Watson, Brink, Boston, Brunelle, Parker.

Save for Jackson, every one of the players UConn has had reported interest in made the last 18. That's amazing.

5 star Nyah Green who many consider the number one player in the '19 class did not make the cut..........interesting..........
 
I Thought treasure hunt would make the team, she is a very good player, Glad to see Brink and Fran make the final cuts.
 
How special are Azzi Fudd and Christyn Williams each making the USA basketball age group team 2 full years up.
I think the last two players to do that were Kara Wolters and Stewie.
Hoping Fudd and Williams also end up at UCONN.

 
Kenny Kallina can be somewhat annoying at time but eveyone can be at an extent.

I will say he isn't wrong about PG play. That's exactly what cost the U17 team last year and he makes a very good argument.

His argument is good only if you agree with him that Paige Bueckers isn't a pg. I think she is and that gives the team 2 pg's on a 12 player roster.

But I like his candor.
