It's 5 years old. It's a Jr high game. I think she has an outside shot. In Euro play posts commonly shoot 3's. I'm sure her father wanted to be sure that she wouldn't be expected to be Coutney Paris. Is this more relevant? Good work. She looks like senior Tina Charles on the low block. Her defender isn't 6' but a quick move vs a weak defender is still quick. It's June, when even Geno waxes poetic about his freshmen. I'm sky high about the vets and if a couple or three of the freshmen can contribute anything it's going to be fun to watch.

We really have little idea what we are going to get from Jana. It is far more likely that Ice will be more college ready. My hope is that Jana will be our first sub for the bigs. If she achieves at that level she will get a lot of PT. While watching the U18-Africa game someone was kind enough to post I was reminded of the videos of the few Patterson videos from high school. They were the Gulliver sisters. College was a tough transition for Patterson. El Alfy has the benefit of experiencing both practices and games for 3 months. Add in that at 18 or 19 years old European women tend to be more mature than US women and there is good reason to be hopeful about her being able to contribute.

That's my point. Cheli flew across the country unofficially. Koval could have attended a game easily but she didn't. Has Geno even gone to see her play? Brady has 4 years of eligibility and so does El Alfy. I realize that some posters put a lot of stock in height but is being an inch or two taller direct evidence of superiority? My point, too. :-). She doesn't have to use the summer to get to Storrs. She can get over there whenever she wants, and even watch a game. Comparing her to the actions of Cheli or to any other potential recruit is, candidly, meaningless. They each do it their own way. Just ask Stewie. My only point is a It asserts that Montaigne’s Essais did not promote or practice a hyperbolic or rationalist skepticism in which no empirical knowledge can be constructed, but a form of skeptical empiricism in which both sense perception and the reasoning mind serve as tools which remain highly fallible, yet serve as a means of constructing provisional hypotheses to form knowledge.: we just don't know. Or as Wittgenstein said: "what we don't know, we must pass over in silence." And don't you think that Montaigne and Wittgenstein know a helluva lot more about WCBB than we? It asserts that Montaigne’s Essais did not promote or practice a hyperbolic or rationalist skepticism in which no empirical knowledge can be constructed, but a form of skeptical empiricism in which both sense perception and the reasoning mind serve as tools which remain highly fallible, yet serve as a means of constructing provisional hypotheses to form knowledge. I'll parse this out and get back to you next Thursday, okay? Show off.

I don’t believe that she has committed. Because she has continued to take visits. And even recently talked about visits she is planning to take.

If this is correct, that UConn has 2 top-five commits, which would include Allie, we are totally golden.

I agree that it would seem odd for her to be doing this much visiting if she's secretly already committed. There are a number of reasons why this oddity may be the case: --kids can visit a lot more schools, so why not take the trips?? --kids like to collect offers which are always fun to post on their instagram accounts --kids might be told that they should stir up the maximum amount of publicity to generate NIL offers down the road
I'm not convinced by these, but we are living in strange times.

Yeah, it is just my opinion. It seems like it would be a bit unfair to other teams and programs.
I do hope that she has committed though. That quote I linked from Geno would make a ton of sense to me if she has.

That quote I linked from Geno would make a ton of sense to me if she has. Agree with everything you say. It would be weird (and unfair) if she's committed already. But if that quotation is accurate and what Geno said is true, then it's likely either her or Koval. And we know from linkster that it can't be Koval.

I want both Strong and Koval. And if we don't get those two, we need backups for those positions, either further on down the list, or internationals.

Some people hold their cards close, others seem to lean a particular way and yet others (Boston) can't be easily deciphered.

UConn prepares players for the next level better than any other school! Thank you, ROCKY...

They were extolling the wonder of Pat's coaching, because when Vol players go pro, they perform even better than they did in college. I pointed out that, if the former Vol players performed better under different coaching, that wasn't an endorsement of Pat. They didn't care for my observation.

I can't keep the recruiting straight. Guards no problem, bigs/small forwards I have the impression that we may end up drowning in them, much to the ecstatic happiness of a certain member here.

The fleet requires a few mobile aircraft carriers and 5 Star Admiral Semper knows it...... ......the Mulkey Way has Reese and a few others. USS Boston has set sail and it's a new dawn in swamp Carolina....

I completely trust ESPN to be the definitive arbiter of WCBB. I think the link to the actual listings is actually here: www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36105600/girls-high-school-basketball-updated-new-player-rankings-recruitingMorgan is certainly on the rise, and a lot of us folks think she's a star in the making: Morgan Cheli (Archbishop Mitty HS, California) might be the most intriguing of this group right now. She made a name for herself last club season and the buzz continued into the high school season. She had to miss some important time, including December's Nike TOC in Phoenix, because of an injury, but was back for the CIF playoffs and took her team to the finals. Cheli is very efficient on the floor. She can play the lead guard spot, but also knows when to be aggressive and use her slashing ability. She can play without the ball out of actions and reads as well as create space for her jumper off the dribble. She is fantastic in transition and makes people better with her passing and floor vision. Cheli announced her commitment to UConn on April 6.
If we play the ESPN game, and take their top 20 players, there are only 5 of them committed already. Duke has one, Michigan has one; UCLA has one, and UConn has two. Pretty good, eh? www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/rankings/_/class/2024

Chelli has length like Caroline, has excelled against the best other teams around and has a UConn state of mind. She'll rise with time and she'll shine @ UConn.....

From watching Cheli play, I think she is very unusual in that she probably doesn't shoot enough. It would help her team if she took charge of the offense even more. I don't know if it's a stamina issue or just being unselfish. I sense that it's the later. I don't know if she will be a Uconn star but she is a consummate team player and welcome on any team as a result.
I think Morgan doesn't need to be the center of attention but I also don't think she suffers from a lack of confidence. She should fit in smoothly.
