June recruiting thread

[jbc021592]

Yes, girls still grow before they end up in High School.

She will be in eighth grade in 2022-2023, as a class of 2027 recruit....

Hopefully, she will be 6' 1+" when she ends up at UCONN, and takes the Huskies to the promised land of NC's 15, 16, 17....

They’re already recruiting 2027 prospects?!

I've been lucky to have the ability to see Prosper develop since she was 12/13 at various events and through the OSBA, the league she competes in. She's a lot of fun to watch. She's had a lot of great coaching throughout her school career and it's showing.

That is awesome. I think she is a top 5 player in 2023 to be honest. I’m so amazed by her game. A game changer whoever can get her. Haven’t seen Fournier as much.

Fournier has time as she's a 2024. If you follow EYBL, you can watch their tournament games online for free when the Kia Nurse program plays.

I think she needs to bulk up a little more, but the potential and skillset is there. Hopefully she'll be part of the U17 squad for Hungary too.

How can I watch them? YouTube? I saw Prosper isn’t competing. Thanks for the tip!

I don't know if the rumour of Prosper not playing is accurate. Canada Basketball hasn't put out the U17 try out list yet. They aren't big fans of leaks from what I've heard. Should know in the next week or so for sure as they announced the men's try out roster today.

I really like the way Heiden uses her body to position herself for the seal, catch and finish- truly outstanding. Looks like she is also able to step out and knock down the deep ball at a decent clip. The 2024 class is shaping up very nicely as far as big post players. There is Ava Heiden, Blanca Thomas, Kennedy Ume, and Kate Koval. Heiden is from Oregon and maybe a hard pull from the west to UCONN. Read recently that Blanca Thomas is "strongly" considering NC State. Sarah Strong top 5 in class of 24 although not a true post her father played at NC St as well. Ume looked awful comfortable in her recent visit to North Carolina. It is early but I'm all in on Kate the Great for UCONN.

Yes I read that about Blanca too, she has really built up a relationship with NCST raved about the atmosphere and coaches. I think Katie is the one we have a shot at. She's having a tough go of it right now on the personal front because of the Ukraine situation. I think her parents are there they sent the kids here to be safe plus she's an exchange student and lives on Long Island- it's possible she may want to stay close to her host "home".

KK seems to like winning! Winning a state division 1 title is kind of a big deal! Very happy for her and her team mates!

KK Arnold Highlights from the AAU play mentioned yesterday by UConnCat:

 

[Bone Dog]

KK’s got a motor and a quick first step. A little like Diamond Johnson but taller. I saw a video from last year of her dominating Jada Williams in one of these meets. The great jump shot means opponents have to guard her close and then she blows by them.

 

[TeamFirst!]

KK keeps getting better.

 

[jbc021592]

Does KK play for All Iowa Attack now for AAU?

Yes.

 

[jbc021592]

Wow. Okay.

 

[MooseJaw]

Yes.

Thank goodness palming the ball is hardly ever called anymore. K.K. will fit in just great with most of WCBB ball handlers.

Not surprisingly the rumor is inaccurate.

Still not sure of UConn’s interest. Prawl is one to keep an eye on.

What a concept, rumors being inaccurate. Having read the article I find what Canada offers their young players at the camp much more than only on court work. Hats off the the program.

Mikaylah Williams to LSU .....

Mikaylah Williams to LSU .....

Who were her top schools?

 

[WFFL]

Who were her top schools?

UCONN , LSU , and some other SEC schools with Duke i believe and Baylor.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Who were her top schools?

Duke, Baylor, LSU, Ole Miss, A&M

She was talking to a lot of major programs before she released her final 5 (including UCONN, SC, and Louisville) but believe being close to home was important to her. Her family is one of her top priorities.

This is a UConn recruiting thread. There is already a thread on the General Womens board for LSU to discuss that program.
