I beat a certain coach on the west coast just put the missus on a jet. I guess until a signature is on a letter raiding parties are free to raid. My earlier questions on this went unanswered!

 

[the Q]

I’m hoping she might have a tall friend to recruit with her to Storrs.

Well, you could just get your will power from this and keep posting:



or, get at it a different way?

Did you know you can buy pizza with a crust made of chicken...

Laugh with me triad, I feel your pain friend.

She follows Oregon on instagram, but as I said before, it seems like UConn is her top choice.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Here is a good look at her shooting form as a 12 year old.



Or is this her sister? I'm so confused.

"But because of the schedule of her team in Poland — Arka Gydnia — she would likely not be able to visit until after the end of the spring signing period on May 15. Then there’s the possibility that Arka Gydnia would offer her money to stay, making her ineligible to play college ball in the USA. " Oh, come on, official visit can be squeezed in. I'd say something funny here but you never know when someone from the SEC would report it.

That is Anna's younger sister.

But they're not doughnuts ! They're that polish word.

Polish player could be in UConn women's recruiting mix

Geno needs the bodies for next year. However the more urgent need is players with Size. It good to see that Camara is considering coming back next year. There should be plenty of playing time for her.

So now Geno has to go to Poland to find a player that wants to come to UConn? Really? Really? And people here think she may the next coming of DT? Really? Now if it was Russia, maybe just maybe he find another Svet.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Kid does look crazy good. Her under 20 FIBA performance was pretty good. Have not seen it all. One thing the European kids arrive with is a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of the game. Maybe Holly should go recruiting there, huh?

 

[willtalk]

I would hope she keeps her celebrations in check. The last thing the team needs is a Pole dancer.

A family pipeline???

The UConn-Polish version of the Mabreys?

Speaking of guard. When Geno turned the game over to the bench, USC trapped Molly and held up others---but Coombs dribbled around and around them like a soph with PT.
I'm not sure you are looking for more of a PG to back up Coombs and Danger, your point I think is well taken--after Danger then who backs up Coombs.??? I think this where you were going????

There are parallels between Molly and Coombs. What is holding them back - same issue, but Molly has more schooled basketball aptitude. What to do. What to do.

What to do. What to do]\
. [/QUOTE] I know I take a different view of Coombs and Molly , at my own peril, but Coombs is NOW a better Div 1 guard than Molly, Molly shoots better, Molly is easily trapped, Molly doesn't protect the ball--Coombs does all of that. She is a better more dedicated ball handler and dribbler. Coombs big lack is shooting.. Coombs sees the floor better, anticipates situations better. Molly knows the Geno system, is intelligent, is a nice kid, practices hard, Geno likes her attitude. But in a game, give me Coombs. Coombs next year (and this year if the need arrises) will be Dangers back up and the year after she will fill Dangers spot (unless the Polish player comes in and is better). Geno is grooming her.

Azzi Fudd is class of 2021. Though she can play PG, she is generally a SG and can also play the wing.

KLS is CD's backup for the rest of this year.

Or the Samuelson's in reverse, sort of. The 3rd was the best, is the best, and getting better. Lou you are a stud and more. You look more and more like Larry Bird to me. Love and Kisses, a hopelessly devoted fan.

Happy if you are right, but I don't see it yet. Her potential is huge. Her realized potential miniscule. If she gets a couple of things fixed and they are the same ones when she was a frosh, she could be up on the wall before she's done.

Two different players with two different skill sets. Coombs a true point guard with defensive skills. Molly gets flustered bringing ball up but surprisingly to me, has developed a good 3 point shot and moves well within the offensive rotation.

Throwing caution to the win, thinking SEC has learned it's lesson:

Molly could be PG or SG. She has an enormous skill set and a PG brain. She just can't seem to relax into the game. If she had gone Ivy League she's be POY for 3 years. The whole perfection for Geno and playing time whammy has been her locked in her head thinking too much.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Airplanes? Did someone mention airplanes.

 

[Artifact]

Dobra, Dobra. She sure loves to play, 'basket-balla'. How is she on 'defense' ?

If she signs with UConn, pierogies for everyone!!!!

I am not anointing Coombs as the second coming of anyone--just the observationals: Coombs today is a better fit to replace an injured or otherwise not available Danger than Molly. Coombs is a better fit with pressure. Coombs dribbles better in traffic. Coombs is probably a better passer than Molly (Molly get flustered under pressure). As I have said Molly is nice, practices, is liked by Geno--all pluses but none of which gets her as much PT as Coombs gets in bigger games. TODAY---LOOKINg forward Coombs is the Only choice to fill Dangers REALLY big shoes. Who else is there TODAY??

Along with being a great passers, dribbling and ball handling under traps and other tough nerve rattling situations, a Pg must SEE the floor see developing plays before they happen
A PG must NOT get rattled under pressure--first anhd foremost if a PG gets rattled under pressure --they are not a true PG only filling the spot--not performing.

My suggestion to you is that Molly with all her attributes along with now scoring--lacks the ability to handle pressure defenses or to make the right decisions when passing under pressure. That alone negates any other abilities to be a PG.

Thankfully my mom and my wife make great perogies . My mother only blessed the marriage when my wife to be passed the perogy test kitchen taste test. No, seriously!
