UConn fans ain't gonna like this take... but she reminds me a lot of Marina Mabrey lol. A good shooter, but can also hit those difficult off the dribble 3's. And had the confidence to take and make them. She looks like she has a larger wingspan, so more potential on the defensive end.
I would rather have a real 6'3 the body type of AE than a 6'6 with a slender build. As many have stated the game is getting more and more physical and the slender players are at a real disadvantage when they are allowed to hold, hang and bang on each other.

Thanks for posting this. A full game was a good chance to get an extended view of Carleton and Chavez against good competition. Can't remember seeing two players so highly ranked individually on the same team have so little impact on the game. I've seen a lot of Fournier. She's so active and has a major impact on the interior at both ends. The difference is very noticeable when she comes out for breaks.
Tbh, I agree. She’s got Marina by 3-4 inches, though, which should bode well for her. Her shot reminds me of Katie Lou as well.

She looks more like Maddy than Marina in that clip.
She still follows plenty of recruits that hadn’t chosen UConn, Kendall Dudley for example, so I don’t think that’s a good indictor.
Agreed, I see the Ionescu comparison as well. Allie is who we see Marina in.

She visited Duke last weekend. She doesn't want to be a Husky. It's okay.

Don’t see why some random would make such a weird lie about this, so I do believe it. That’s okay, let’s get some other strong recruits
Did some digging and I believe it is indeed her Father.

Let’s look at these schools. As far as private schools, Stanford and Duke are the top 2 school academically that play in P-6 conferences. UCLA AND Michigan are both top ten public schools academically.
So academics are apparently very important, at least to Toby’s dad (if he really is her dad).
Does she agree with dad in the hidden depths of her heart?
Will she continue to agree with dad after a year or two at one of those schools?
Is there a reason only 4 are listed? Is dad gonna let her take a 5th OV to a school that doesn’t meet his academic criteria?
Does she meet the entrance requirements of a Stanford?
Does the inclusion of Michigan ( a very good school but with a lesser reputation than the others) indicate that dad wants her close to home in Ontario?
Am I full of snot and these are HER final choices and I just need to go ahead and scratch her from our boards?

Love that she initiates and seems to enjoy contact.
