I can't field a team with 3 players, so I'll take 5 with one coming off the bench.
Recruits, my man, recruits. What's UConn's largest recruiting class?

Starters: Bueckers, Fudd, Horston, Jones and Boston. Those names look very familiar.

Team USA up 51-22 at halftime. Except for Brunelle, all of the Team USA players have scored. Cooke leads the way with 11 points. Boston has 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

Final: 106-48. Probably a few too many turnovers (19) for Carla but overall solid performance.

Was or is Sam hurt? She certainly was underwhelming this game with 3 rebounds and a block in 13:35.

No. She and Brink seemed to be the last 2 off the bench.

Well, it's still early, but it is kind of telling, isn't it?

Fran Belibi seemed to be in that group, too (minute-wise), although she made the most of them point- and rebounding-wise. Looks like Coach B. was very much going with a small(er) lineup, with Ms. Boston, Haley Jones and the multi-faceted Ms. Horston.

Thanks for calling to our attention.

Didn't see the game, but those are some nifty lines for Boston, Bueckers, and Brink. And even when their shots aren't falling Horston and Jones make plays.

I want her on our team!!!!
She stinks! She should have dunked with her feet.

(Has this playa signed her LOI yet?)

If she and Amihere come to Storrs UConn will have 3 who can play above the rim.

Verbal to Stanford. Geno was curious but may have thought that Fran is too raw. I expect she'll dunk at the Farm. Most athletic player there since Chiney. Or ever?

Her three other finalists, as I understand it, were Harvard, Princeton and Notre Dame. As much I as admire my alma mater, we were off the podium on the U.S. News and World Report rankings, which does not happen too often :rolleyes:.

Nonetheless, Ms. Belibi did take an official visit to ND in April.

Think she's made huge strides in a very short time and expect her to do well with Tara. Best of luck to her!
