Clay Kallam's preseason AA team for Maxpreps; mostly current or former UConn POI:
1st Team:
Juju Watkins, Sierra Canyon (Chatsworth, Calif.)
6-0 | Junior (2023) | Guard | Uncommitted
Like Barker, Watkins made an in-state move, going from Southern California power Windward to the Trailblazers. Watkins is incredibly athletic, strong and unafraid of contact, and as her jumper improves, she will only get better.
Mikaylah Williams, Parkway (Bossier City, La.)
6-0 | Junior (2023) | Guard | Uncommitted
Seimone Augustus just retired from the WNBA, but Williams — whose game resembles that of fellow Louisiana native Augustus — is ready to take up the torch. At 6-0, just like Augustus, Williams might shoot it a little better, but since Parkway doesn't travel much, only Louisiana fans will get a close-up look this year.
2nd Team:
Breya Cunningham, La Jolla Country Day (La Jolla, Calif.)
6-4 | Junior (2023) | Post | Uncommitted
A traditional low post, she's a force on the block. Athletic and strong, Cunningham is skilled, powerful, and runs the floor well for her size.
Ciera Toomey, Dunmore (Pa.)
6-3 | Junior (2023) | Post | Uncommmitted
She burst on the scene this summer, showing off a varied skill set that included long-range shooting, rebounding and shot blocking. Neither her high school or club team are prominent on the national level, but college coaches definitely know who she is.
3rd Team:
Madison Booker, Germantown (Philadelphia)
6-1 | Junior (2023) | Wing | Uncommitted
Another versatile, athletic wing, she drives by bigger defenders and overwhelms smaller ones in the paint. She's extending her game beyond the 3-point arc as well, which makes her even more difficult to guard.
