If I know Tamika is Ayanna's coach's wife I will not worry so much this morning... LOL

The former Tamika Williams is married to former NBA player Richard Jeter. The couple has one son, R.J., born in 2015.

Tamika's shooting percentage still pretty high.

I have the TV tuned to the news as I read and type comments here. A commercial for The Farmer's Dog dog food just aired. The dog is a husky. Kismet.

Oh Baby, Thank You, Thank You; Life is good !

Connboy, my sentiments exactly!!! If there was one word to describe Ayanna it's............................"STUD"!!! And I mean that in a very respectful manner. Webster's definition of stud= b: a tough person.

I can't wait to see her and Aaliyah on the floor together. OMG. Can you say "nightmare"?..........................for our opponents that is.
She comes in with the makings for an elite shot blocker. She has two of the three attributes needed: Height, Hops and timing. You can't teach the first two.

You can't double team her, Amari or Ice. Who are you going to leave open?..........................Azzi or Paige maybe?

What really endears her to my heart is: Jeter also noted Patterson hates losing. She'll fit right in with our current group of players.

What else appealed to Patterson? “Geno’s a straight-shooter,” Jeter said, relaying a conversation Auriemma had with Patterson’s father. “The thing that her dad really liked about him is he’s very honest. He pretty much said, ‘Hey, I’ve coached 100 of you. Look at the resume. If you want to be a pro, I have more than everybody.’ It wasn’t in an arrogant way, it was just, ‘If you want to be a pro, I can prepare you.’” “Ayanna has cried after every loss,” Jeter said. “I don’t think she’s going to cry much if she decides to go there. She won’t be crying too often. She just wants to be great.”

Remember back in his heyday when the "Doctor, Julius Erving" had that BIG natural, and it would bend back as he ran the floor, or go up for a dunk? Hers does the same thing, and reminds me of him. I hope she plays like him too. I think we all do!

I love the connection to Tamika Williams...one of the most efficient/no frills player in UConn history.

And....her personality sparkled. I remember reading about CD writing a letter to her parents about Tamika's first few weeks in her frosh year. She said that by that time Tamika seemed to know everyone on campus except for one guy....and she was sure Tamika was tracking him down as she typed.

Wonderful news about Ayanna....got to look at some of her tape!

Celebrations are continuing here (sans chair)

Shane Laflin's report:


"The coaching staff is genuine, and academic-wise, it's a great school and they have my major interests, which are graphic design and business," Patterson said. "The basketball speaks for itself with the championships and the tradition. With the teammates that will be there, I feel really comfortable -- Azzi [Fudd], Paige [Bueckers] and Amari [DeBerry). In looking past college, and with all of the WNBA success their players have had, that's where dreams come true."

UConn gets 2nd top-5 recruit for '22 in Patterson

Ayanna Patterson, ESPNW's No. 3-ranked prospect in the 2022 class, announced her commitment to UConn on Saturday.

[ScuderiaDiU]

Don't feel guilty. There are still 5 players left in the top 10 for Dawn to land.

[mbr33ct]

So we have #3 and #5 in the class 2022. Go UConn....

Now if Stanford does not pick up the #2 recruit, Janiah Barker, I'm ready to project UConn will have the #1 class for 2022.

She's wearing Tamickas number!

Is GA done now for 22 or is he recruiting anybody else?

 

[Hayven]

Is GA done now for 22 or is he recruiting anybody else?

He said maybe 1 or 2 more

 

[MilfordHusky]

Is GA done now for 22 or is he recruiting anybody else?

At the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce breakfast last week, he said maybe 1-2 more for 2022.

Yes, really bad news for the NCAA ! Great news for Ayanna, Geno & the team. NCAA will get even with their referees!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Ayanna's game reminds me a little of Chamique Holdsclaw.

This news just made my day!
Ayanna-So delighted you chose UCONN!
Just might have to get season tickets again!
Gotta go watch some of her videos!
Sounds like AP can really, really Run Fast too!

Plenty of videos on YouTube, going back to 8th grade, some of her running track, and yes she is fast.

More Laflin:


The 6’3 forward, who plays for Ohio United of the adidas 3SSB Circuit, is a dynamic athlete with all the tools and skills a player could want. Athletically, it is hard to find a comparison in the country. Video has circulated of Patterson dunking the basketball off the dribble with two hands and off of two feet – a major rarity in the girls’ game.

She is one of those forwards who is comfortable away from the paint and has the ability to put the ball on the deck and push the ball in transition, but still punish opponents on post ups and on the offensive glass. As her three-point shot continues to become more consistent and she polishes her left hand, look for her to challenge for the top spot in the class.

With a front court of AE, Ice and Ayanna, there will be very few rebounds available for the opposing team and if you add Azzi and Paige or Nika and Caroline Ducharme or Saylor and Paige, etc...5 headed monster on the court at all times...

Why does it seem everyone is sleeping on Amari DeBerry?
