I’ve watched a lot of Brunelle, and she’s clearly a very solid, all-around player. At the same time, it’s difficult to gauge her athleticism as she tends to dominate against weaker competition in HS in VA.
Pessimism is a good thing. Last year many Husky fans were convinced Megan Walker was heading to South Bend so we were all overjoyed when she chose UConn.
Hey after ND's run through the tourney this year and the amount of attention it got, your team may be the hot new program that every top recruit wants to be a part of. Who wouldn't want to join a team that knocks down game winning shots at the buzzer in front of a national TV audience?
Bingo! Air Amihere is the prize. Fill the Canadian seat on the court. And get Aliyah Boston in the post. All is well in Husky Land.
Think Air Amihere.
As a lineman, I scored one TD my entire HS & College career. When one of our DB’s stuck out his hand to congratulate me, I jumped on him, knocking him over on his ass.
Bet not.
Clearly, if Geno & UConn cooled on Brunelle, there’s a good reason. William Monroe HS is in the Northwest part of VA, near the Shenandoah Valley. A lot of the teams they regularly play are from rural areas.
That post was on April Fools Day.
The early take on SB was that she was a more physical version of Lou, and certainly her rebounds and inside scoring in HS seems to bear that out. But I got to tell you, when you look at a lot of SB’s highlights she’s putting up big numbers against teams that lack size, athleticism or both. That doesn’t mean that SB won’t be really good at the next level, but there’s clearly a reason that UConn backed off.
