Hopkins travels to Wayzata in 2017 and shoots 75% from Three


Hopkins goes on the road to Wayzata for a late-season conference game -- the 24th game of the 2016-17 season..... 9th grader Paige Bueckers would score 23 with 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals.

I will interpret positively that (a) her gaze is looking directly at Stanford; and (b) UConn will be so loaded at her position for the foreseeable future that I have a really hard time seeing how she would fit with all the wing/post talent coming into Storrs. My totally non-insider guess is that Stanford and UCLA are the frontrunners.

Question for you. To go to Stanford, would she need to be accepted for admission already to sign in November or is it too early for acceptance?

Usually a Stanford recruit will have received an admissions decision from Stanford by now so I'm guessing if they are still in the mix, she was admitted.

My thoughts are Stanford as well.

Maybe Stanford is the winner in the end but UConn was at the TOP (like a little thought bubble).

 

[Kaizen]

She put UConn right on top of head in the video.
I think UConn is her first choice.....just my feeling

 

[WFFL]

Baylor

 

[Steelerone]

UCONN currently number 2 class in this ranking. Oregon State above South Carolina is surprising.

Notice that we are the only team that is not a member of the "Power 5".

 

[DEpup]

Maybe its a head and the heart issue for her. UConn is what the head is telling her and then covid/staying in CA from the heart is saying Stanford... How many great players through the years have had to make that decision... times change but the decisions remain the same. Love to see her go with the head and the husky halo above her.....

 

[Rfwireless]

Nothing more preposterous than to speculate based on image head location her school choice. I do not know what her final decision will be, I hope it is UCLA. Based on her twitter connections I would say she follows all the UCLA coaching staff, can not say the same if the other schools. However, this too is a guess. She may be waiting for information on school openings in the fall and its impact on women college basketball for upcoming season?

Iriafen would be a good get for UConn. I would love to see her at UConn the next 4 years. She’s a “stud.” She would make up for some of the ones we didn’t get.

IMO she’s one of the two most skilled front court players in the ‘21 class. And the other one, Demetre, is already going to Stanford.

UCLA????

Kiki goes to Harvard-Westlake which is one of the Big 4 ultra-elite private schools in Southern California and it's also highly regarded nationally. Academics are obviously big. Although I think Stanford has the strongest chance if she's admitted, I wouldn't rule out Notre Dame either.

I’ve been in their gym. Very small and intimate. They always have very good women’s bb teams. They are on par with Long Beach Poly, Mater Dei, Chaminade, Etiwanda and Windward high schools here in the L.A. metropolitan area.

This past weekend Brandon Clay from Prospects Nation had a chance to evaluate a group of 14 recruits (from 2021-2023 classes) including Ashlon Jackson, Sammie Wagner, and Aaliyah Moore. I really like how highly he regards Ashlon's ability and tenacity on the defensive end:

I like Jackson, if UConn was to miss out on Fudd some how, Jackson in the 2022 class wouldn’t be a bad pick up at all, she sounds like she could be a great shooter from deep, that’s if she doesn’t pick Texas

I've been signing her praises for the past year and a half. She indicated in the video below, that if she had to choose "right now", she'd pick UConn. I'd love for her to maintain THAT mindset until the day she signs her letter of intent (LOI). I'd love to have her in our program for 4 years. She would be a HUGE asset to the team. She'd be a perfect fit and a great teammate upon arrival. She'd be a mentor, leader, and role model to those coming in behind her. I'm sitting on the front row of her cheering section hoping she comes to Storrs. There's room for more if anyone cares to join me. How can you not like a young lady like this, especially if she's willing (and does) to play defense? If she's not UConn material, I don't know who is.

For those of you that may not know who she is, please take a moment to meet her in the video below:

You can believe the BIG 3 Texas schools (Texas, Texas A&M & Baylor) will pressing her HARD for a commitment. She's currently ranked #19 in ESPN's HoopGurlz class of 2022. I hope UConn presses her just as hard.

UConn and Lynx. Listen to your coaches, work on what they say you should do and hit the books. See a theme.
