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

Pretty good news on Dangerfield. It's apparently a twisted ankle. She's expected to be okay and ready to go for Blackman's attempt to win state. They won tonight handily.

Whew!!

The reigning Tennessee Gatorade Player of the Year and Connecticut commit was helped off the court and spent the remaining minutes of the first quarter being treated by Blackman trainer Clayton Faircloth. She attempted to jog down the same baseline she was injured during the quarter break but could not go.

"My leg was planted and a girl came down and rolled it out," the junior point guard and two-time Miss Basketball finalist said. "It just twisted out. It's just an ankle sprain."

She remained on the bench the rest of the game, returning to and from the locker room at halftime with more of a hitch in her step than a limp. Coach Chad Hibdon said Dangerfield wanted to play and probably would have been 75 percent, but said in "any game it's not worth it," for her to return with that injury.

Napheesa Collier's line:

31 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, 3 blocks

Crystal Dangerfield will play in tomorrow's state quarterfinal for Blackman at less than 100%.

Collier was 14-16 from the field in the above game from the 3rd.

hmmm, not really that close to a quintuple double.

Probably didn't get to play that long. (84-10 and all)

A team that could score only 10 points is in the tourney?

Collier was 14-16 from the field in the above game from the 3rd.

Increasing her already lofty 70% shooting percentage. Look out Tamika Williams!

Lous game is on Saturday. They have not announced the time.
It may be streamed on line. If it is streamed it will most likely be here:
http://www.foxsports.com/west/story...fox-sports-west-prime-ticket-prep-zone-081414
scroll down to the basketball championship listing on March 6-7. Then click on "Prep Zone"

I will post a time it will start, which the CIF(California Interscholastic Federation) has not done as of yet.
I am hoping for a 7.30pm start Pacific time.
The Mater Dei Boys team lost last night in the Semi Finals so they would have been in the finals on the same day as the girls, but that aint happening now. The Boys Open finals is on TV in So Cal, on Prime Ticket, which is on 692 or 693 on Direct TV, and scheduled for 6.30pm Pacific time. So there will be no conflict in having the same school having both teams in action at the same time.

Are they playing the team that defeated them in a tournament earlier in the season?

Yes, they are playing Chaminade who beat them earlier in the season.

So much for her injury. Crystal Dangerfield scored 18 points and dished out 4 assists but Blackman struggled to get the win in their state quarterfinal Wednesday (3/4). Geno was on hand to watch.

Someone wouldn't recognize Geno?

Good for Crystal. "One of the best players I've ever seen." Yesssss!

I hope she appreciates the support from Coach, because everything that goes wrong between 2016 and 2020 will be her fault.

Crystal's Semi-Final Game postponed to Saturday 3 PM. http://tssaa.org/tssaa-announcements/

 

[meyers7]

Unfortunately it comes from a guy who wouldn't recognize Geno and isn't even sure she's verballed to UCONN. Not exactly a fountain of knowledge there.

Not saying she's not really, really good. Just, it doesn't seem this Vargas guy gets around much.

Another all-star game of sorts for UConn's signees to participate in. The Jordan Brand Classic takes place in New York on April 17th at 3:30 Eastern. Doesn't appear to be TV coverage of the girls game though.

KLS, Boykin, and Collier all expected to play. Here's a rundown of the rosters with bios:
