Betts #1 in her class. Tried to find video on her this morning and found just 2 tiny and essentially worthless videos. Can anyone come up with some?

 

[Go/huskies]

Found a full game of hers on YouTube.

 

[Jibariqua]

Some of the best HS players have been in Maryland. Didnt hear about any UCONN coaches in attendance but Kiki Rice was there. @3threattraining has some highlight videos posted.

Also a very detailed story on her

Lafayette Christian's Autumn Chassion named Female Athlete of the Week

After leading her team to another great season, LCA point guard Autumn Chassion won Female Athlete of the Week honors by a wide margin.

Interesting recruiting background

While (Coach) Taylor feels like Chassion has been overlooked by colleges due to her size, she currently has an offer on the table from LSU Eunice and has interest from other schools, including Loyola University New Orleans along with a pair of Ivy League schools.

Good for her signing up for the challenge. Her highschool's valedictorian.... Geno likes the smart ones... I wonder how everyone got connected...

Briana Pulido (originally a member of the UConn track team) and Tierney Lawlor — both added in 2013.

2021, 6’4, PF/C, Harvard Westlake HS, KiKi Iriafen

- All around athlete, highly athletic, very skilled, tenacious rebounder and just a menace on the court for anyone trying to guard her. High Major talent for sure, shoots the ball out to the free throw line, skilled with left or right over the shoulder post play. This kid is one of the toughest defenders as well and plays with a very high IQ for the game. Always makes the right play and is still growing in my opinion.

Hopkins vs Eden Prairie - Feb 11, 2020


Numerous threes and several highlight-reel passes in this 23 point, 8 rebound, 10 assist, 9 steal, 3 block performance from Paige.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Paige reminds me of Gretzky the more I see her. She exits for good at the 35:30 mark.


Lake Conference home opener: Edina at Hopkins Girls Basketball on January 7, 2020


It was the 13th game of 2020 season, but the first Lake Conference game of the year. Hopkins would win 82-27....Paige Bueckers, in just 18 minutes of court time, scored 22 with 8 assists and 8 steals.

Jones looks like a grade schooler among high schoolers.

No blond hair for Saylor? Hmm. Salon closed because of Covid?

Saylor changed her hair color last week . She's going incognito.

I enjoyed watching Jones play at U16- she kind of grows on you

But by the size of her......... just not that much.

Geno said Moriah looked like someone who escaped from the 7th grade.

She still looks like she escaped from 12th grade.

The state governing body for Saylor's HS, the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, is postponing the fall and winter high school sports seasons. Basketball practice normally starts in mid November, so the earliest she will have team practice is January. Teams usually play some games and holiday tournaments in December so even in a best case scenario the season will be shortened.

The WCAC also postponed fall sports. I can't find any specific announcement about winter sports but Azzi may be in the same boat.

 

[rvwsleep]

Though I still don't think Betts will be coming to Storrs, this can't hurt.
Btw. Lauren has a 6'1" 13 year old younger sister who also plays basketball well. She recently played in a 16u tournament and held her own.

They all may eventually be in the same boat of having no fall or winter sports. Azzi's school is private and located in the DC. Maryland also has some very good private schools that are struggling for attendance, I wouldn't be surprised to see some kids switch schools for a year just because of this decision.
