Can I admit to being unable to parse what you just said? Kids are self-promoting and post things even when the information might be misleading. For example, ZaKiyah probably got many dozens of expression of interest. By posting these 12, she's implying that she's down to these 12 schools, even though not all of them necessarily followed through with actual offers. Just makes her look more desirable. Thanks. Think my motto will be: Slowly crawling into the 21st century. Being dragged really.

If the chalk holds Lara and the Gems will be facing off against China and Zhang Ziyu in the FIBA U18 Asia Finals. Semi's tomorrow, Finals Sunday. That will be fascinating, Zhang is what Al McGuire would call an Aircraft Carrier. Last two games she went for 38 and 44. Can't jump, can't run but can't be guarded either. Depending on the source her height is either 7'2, 7'3 or 7'4. Maybe Al would have called her a Super Carrier. Another description would be space eater. The Indonesia, New Zealand and Japanese players who tried to guard her looked like Lilliputians.

Of course it did: it's a brilliant descriptor, and no one ever loved or understood the game better.

If you go to the actual YouTube site, one of the first responders asks what I just did a couple of days ago: What about Caroline, I did not notice her in any of the clips that I saw? Inquiring minds want to know.

These things are getting kind of ridiculous. Reminds me of my obsession with cataloguing every college that sent letters to my oldest when he was a junior. Non-athlete. I mean, there were some schools we knew there was no way he was going to consider for various reasons, but I kept every damn letter. What a waste of time and energy.

Wow! I watched about 2/3's of the game. The game was seriously lopsided. The stats are meaningless because she was 3+inches taller than Slovakia's biggest player. She moves very well for a post and runs the floor. She posted low, got a pass and made a baby hook swish off the glass. Both teams relied on ball movement, something you don't see much in AAU. She seemed to fit into that style of play. She had nice hands ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) and passed the ball quickly. She needs to stop bringing the ball down inside. But several times she did things that make me hopeful. She dove to the floor for a loose ball (woof) and found open shooters. She is still learning but she would be the first player off the bus if I was coach. Her size and athleticism is impressive.

I e seen plenty of tall players have bad games against smaller opponents so I won’t dismiss the stats. I pretty much agree with everything else you said. She has great potential.

Nice. Watched a few minutes... Her teammates can't throw an entry pass to save their lives. Opponent's center was a good matchup in size and strength. Her teammates were even worse. So they battled each other for boards and putbacks

Though this isn't a quote but a referenced conversation. Where on YT did you see UCONN not in play? On another site (another site) they also have something from XCOM that has UCONN in top 6 and I think that is as of of July 5th. www.on3.com/her/news/first-ever-on3-girls-basketball-recruiting-rankings/And I read on Boneyard she knocked off Tenn.

Geno's new contract ended the negative recruiting "He's going to retire" line. I'm sure other programs will still push that narrative. The $5 million buyout is only if he wants to take another HC job.
