Blue Star has inexplicably not had Aaliyah Edwards ranked in the 2020 class. Today they noted her commitment to UConn and gave her a 300 ranking.
Wow! She must not be very good at all. Maybe the coaching staff has lost it's ability to correctly evaluate.
This is probably due to her being international and so Blue Star not being able to assess her in person. Alanna Smith, our recently graduated All-American, was recruited from Australia, and so she was also deemed to be whatever the default unranked ranking was by almost all of the major recruiting services, which was comical, because those in the know knew she was at least among the 25 best incoming frosh. I wouldn't sweat it because honestly, once you've seen film and she's committed, why the h3ck should you care what the recruit rankings say? She'll prove her worth on the court for the next four seasons. As far as I'm concerned, recruiting rankings/assessments are useful to identify who fans should hope are offered/enroll, so they cease to have value once a player commits.Blue Star has inexplicably not had Aaliyah Edwards ranked in the 2020 class.

I also watched Paige's games and I believe that half of the fun was watching all of her tricks that she used to befuddle the opposing team. They didn't know what she would do and when they played off she would hit her shots and when they tried to defend she would seem to find the open teammate for the easy one. Those I would call tricks and we were allowed to watch the treats that she dished out. I can't wait for here to do the same at UConn. She has to do her tricks for us to get our treat watching her magic.
What Branch is your Daughter? Tell them both thanks for their service for me.

She's now retired, disability, but trained in many sections, units, divisions--she's an Engineer and ended in the Engineer Corp. Some former Army denied she could have done what she did--but the truth is the truth. As a former CT Army NG and Navy, no one knows everything about all branches of the services in which they serve. But that was a year or 3 ago. No one knows what the top brass will allow even if you were one at some time.

I'm the most dense brained BY poster and Emoji's mean little--can't always tell what they mean. Maybe put (JOKE) after the comment then my density may turn to mush (it's normal state).Coco, I couldn’t agree more. Somewhere back in this thread I posted what was intended to be a joke, complete with emogeein response to Cat’s post. Subsequently, Sivad, DaBall & now you have followed up with questions, comments and/or outrage that I would raise the subject in the first place.
I should know better. Sometimes my humor can be lost on some of the folks around here.
Sarg: I guess it's how you see it. Your tricks I see as using her athletic body and brain to overwhelm/overcome the opponents. Semantics--probably, mostly just how we see it differently with the same results---Tricks if you want I accept your point of view, while I keeping mine. That's the BY WAY.I also watched Paige's games and I believe that half of the fun was watching all of her tricks that she used to befuddle the opposing team.

Because last year I watched more live Big East WCBB then I could watch live AAC WCBB and most of the AAC were UConn games on ESPN, FOX, or CBS. FOX has first dibs on Big East, CBS second, with maybe a few on ESPN. I believe SNY is currently negotiating with FOX just like they have with ESPN for rights to games and FOX would be a fool not to take it since they HAVE to renegotiate the current contract with BIG East because of UConn coming into the league.
Aaliyah's AAU team played at Boo Williams in both 2018 & 2019. Blue Star, ProspectsNation, Hoopgurlz & ASGR were all present.
Not sure I'm following you here. The players Geno actively recruits is filtered by a bunch of things, primary among those things is interest in coming to UCONN. Players that Geno are not actively recruiting still have to be ranked. For example, Brooke Demetre is the #4 ranked player in the class and was not actively recruited by Geno likely because she was a heavy Stanford lean. Saylor Poffenbarger is ranked lower in the class and was actively pursued by Geno and staff. Are you saying that because Geno pursued Saylor, she is the better player and should be ranked higher? If you are I would disagree. I would say Saylor is the better player for UCONN.
Rellah Boothe was the #3 overall recruit and #1 forward in the class of '17 and I'd bet that Auriemma never even recruited her. So that comparison wouldn't work.
Rellah Boothe? Who exactly does she play for these days?
Looks like she’s a red shirt sophomore at Middle Tennessee St.
