1/22
Ice Brady squared off with Kennedy Smith ('24) on Saturday. Brady and CC led by 20 at one point but Etiwanda rallied to win. Smith was named MVP with 15 points.
1/22
Ciera Toomey: 17 points
With Liv's departure, she would be a great scoring asset for UConn.Interesting option on the transfer portal: "Mississippi State women's basketball forward Rickea Jackson, the SEC's leading scorer this season, plans to enter the transfer portal, she announced in a social media post Monday."
If she wants contact. If she doesn't coaches cannot reach out to her even though she is in the portal. Not all players want coaches of other programs hounding them.With Liv's departure, she would be a great scoring asset for UConn.
She would be able to help teach the 2022 freshmen a few things.
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed in hope that UConn reaches out to her.

Highlight package from Toomey's game Saturday (1/22):
For me, these PA. HS videos don’t do much. There’s no real competition for her. I watch whatever AAU clips that are available. She’s better able to use her skill set in the faster pace. IMO, her shooting, passing and ballhandling for 6-3, floor vision, and BB IQ are all UConn level. She has the potential to be exceptional and there are three areas that I think will determine whether she does or not. 1) Physical toughness, will she be willing to bang for position and defense, both on the perimeter and around the boards. 2) Strength. She’s in need of a serious strength program as soon as possible to be able to handle #1. 3) Desire. Already off to a promising start working with instructors to build good fundamentals and expand her game. If she’s willing to continue this through her college career she can be exceptional.Is she exceptional or is she another Brunnell, who is good but not exceptional? Do you think she will excel in D1 basketball?

I'm not sure what you're saying.If she wants contact. If she doesn't coaches cannot reach out to her even though she is in the portal. Not all players want coaches of other programs hounding them.
UConn wasn’t on her list coming out of HSGo get her, UConn. Need all the scoring we can get. We all saw what could happen when your decimated by injuries.
She'd most likely only be playing for a year (assuming she doesnt use her extra covid year).
BobbyJ great analysis. I can add she has great footwork. Footwork much like Stewie...shes not Stewie but has footwork similar to Stewie. BTW he idol is Stewie I hope UConn lands her because I believe she will be a really good college player and Geno will develop her.For me, these PA. HS videos don’t do much.

You bring up an interesting question/comparison. I believe Toomey will be exceptional because she is an elite shot maker from all three levels of the floor who is capable of creating her own shot. Samantha Brunelle was no slouch she was a very good player at a comparable age. I just think Toomey is a little more skilled mainly in ball handling, sheer athleticism, & passing.Is she exceptional or is she another Brunnell, who is good but not exceptional? Do you think she will excel in D1 basketball?
That not how it works. A player MUST be in the portal if they intend to transfer. Once a player is in the portal all Coaches are free to reach out. A player wishing not to be contacted can certainly put that out on Social Media but it does not prevent the coaches from contacting them.If she wants contact.

Players have the option for coaches/schools not to contact them once they enter the portal. For example, Hannah Gusters selected that option because she clearly intended to follow Mulkey to LSU.That not how it works. A player MUST be in the portal if they intend to transfer.

“Once an athlete enters the transfer portal, coaches may contact them but are prohibited in doing so when “Do Not Contact” is turned on.”

The game of transferring in college has certainly changed: with the introduction of the transfer portal and athletes no longer needing permission towww.lrt-sports.com
UConn wasn’t on her list coming out of HS
Could be interesting. The player for 1 year is a good match. Don't know about the issues she had at MS but her stats suggest an athletic and tall 3. A player who is more a volume scorer than a shooter. Pretty good on the boards and blocking shots, but ball-handling numbers not that good. May be more of a 3/4 than a 2/3 which I think is the greater need.Yup, but things change in the transfer portal world. Wouldn't be surprised one bit if Geno reaches out along with the rest of the teams that will be after her.
