Should’ve been more specific. Obviously not talking about a finished product here. My time frame would be to lay a solid foundation for a long term, ongoing project. She has to start somewhere and if she works for a summer, I think it would give her a good base going into next season.

I agree completely. As I said, I think next year will be her real sophomore leap. Just watching this game I saw one play where Liv kept a ball from going out of bounds under Memphis' basket. Anyone that that denies her athleticism is a blind man. Her upside is incredible, but honestly, I don't think she has ever been pushed to fulfill that potential. That is, until she came to UConn. Here she's finally being held accountable for her own potential and aspirations. At UConn she's finally learned the true meaning of sweat equity.

I have some background in it as an ex-coach. That would be my estimate for her if she put in the time over a summer.

Cool.

Hope she can do.

Some other info on Kiki Rice at Sidwell Friends, Class of 2022:

She was the D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year in soccer as a freshman. She had 42 goals and 12 assists in 20 games and scored 2 goals in Sidwell's 2-1 championship game win. Her father played basketball at Yale, and her mother played tennis at Yale.

She seems like a fit for Stanford or Princeton, but I'll go watch her.

I went to see Mir tonight. I'll post more on her tomorrow. She is a rebounder extraordinaire.

I thought it was a pretty fantastic segment. Geno seemed really stoked to coach these girls next year!

IDK. Looks quite a bit like Kalana here. How so?

A pair of threes for Saylor Poffenbarger in these new highlights:

That shot at 44 seconds in would make Ray Allen proud.

With regard to Azzi, Geno saw her last Tuesday, and Milford will see her this coming Tuesday.

My best guess is that Azzi will announce in November. Be patient!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

They're not recruiting her yet, but Geno should be on it, and he should send this video to Christyn Williams.

The boy dribbling reminds me of Carmelo. Same headband and passing instincts.

Couldn't she just verbal to you next Tuesday?

Which will have a bigger influence on her decision?

Well Geno hasn’t closed the deal yet, so let’s see if Milford can get it done!

Geno scouted Caroline Ducharme earlier today.

I feel a Saylor, deBerry, Fudd, and Ducharme class shaping up....

I would be very happy with that. It has a strong Northeastern representation--Maryland, New York, D.C./Virginia, and Massachusetts. But I also like Rivers, Iriafen, Moore, and some others.
