UConn Signee/Verbal Recruit Thread (KLS, Collier, Boykin, Crystal-D, Irwin, AEH, Bent)

[Sluconn Husky]

Collier scored 28 points in three quarters of play Thursday.

Collier and IWA were definitely impressive for Brown and the Redbirds. “They were after it and they weren't letting up, but that's what you've got to do if you want to be successful,” Brown said. “Playing against them was good for us. (Collier) is different. I've never seen anything like it, or played anything like it. It was nice being on the court with her though. She can do a bunch.”

Jonathan Hemingway was at last weekend's Blackman-Riverdale game. His take:


2. Crystal Dangerfield: On Time, Every Time

Rarely does the top point guard in the class of 2016 disappoint. In fact in moments which are biggest, the UConn commit delivers in the biggest ways. Friday night was no different as she saw her team down double digits on their home floor before the midway point of the first quarter. The 5-foot-6 guard dialed up the heat and turned defensive steals into transition points. The Lady Blaze erased the Riverdale lead mostly behind the buckets of Dangerfield. In the end she would lead all scorers with 21 points, but it would be her unfettered attitude that kept her teammates in the game.

Now that is about as great a scouting report as one could hope to have on a recruit.

it's kind of funny how we have KML who is a senior and next season we'll have KLS who is an amazing shooter and we'll have Danger coming in right after MoJeff graduates! We are very lucky fans!

Ya it's almost like somebody planned it that way (duh )

Katie Lou Samuelson returned with a bang from her knee injury Tuesday scoring 31 points and hitting 6 threes.

Crystal Dangerfield had 10 points and 4 assists for Blackman.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Napheesa Collier scored 26 points ( 9-13 fg, 2-3 3-pt, 6-7 ft) with 11 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks in limited minutes Tuesday. That came in an IW win to open a tournament, the semi-finals and final of which will be broadcast online this Friday and Saturday.

Also, the box score to Collier's previous game on 1/29 is now up:

28 points (12-18 fg, 1-2 3-pt, 3-4 ft), 12 rebounds, 10 steals, 4 assists, and 2 blocks.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Kyla Irwin scored 20 of her team's 33 points Tuesday night.

 

[Sonny44]

Not really. Ideally one would want a one year overlap, especially for a point guard.

Glad to hear that Lou is back--and playing well.

A triple-double--nice!

We'll need that next year, after our triple-double seniors graduate.

Which post is this in response to ?

Agree, where did that come from?

If he's talking about Dangerfield, yea there is not an overlap with Jefferson. However, she will have Nurse and Chong to ease her in.

Have you seen her play? She may not need much easing in

 

[meyers7]

Yes, and I'm hoping she doesn't need much. But it's always better to ease them in. Especially a PG. She can come in, give a spark, do her thing, but won't have to run the show her first year.

And Williams.

1/5

KLS had 38 points including 6 more threes in her second game back. That's 69 points and 12 threes in two games since returning.

Kyla Irwin also had a huge game Thursday:

28 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 steals, and 3 assists.

 

[meyers7]

And Williams.

I was just thinking of PGs, or one who would be playing PG.
