That's a good sample. She's a righty, but goes left really well. And what a first step!

What a concept, rumors being inaccurate. Having read the article I find what Canada offers their young players at the camp much more than only on court work. Hats off the the program.

Thanks for the tip of the cap. Canada Basketball has been working hard to improve the depth of women's basketball here. It's starting to show.

Impressed by KK's quickness!

From the end of her commitment video

thanks.

I knew there was interest -- Morgan and CD began following -- but wasn't sure if UConn was getting involved too late. She was a big target of Tennessee and Maryland.

She is someone who keeps getting better.

The link doesn't seem to work [for me]. Do we have any other highlights?
This comes a bit from left field?
One mention says she is a 'big guard"....maybe a 2/3 player?

Arnold/Shade and now Samuels....from 2023.
Still want the best big we can get.

Here are a few short clips of Qadence from Hudl.
I think she would be quite capable of playing the wing position, In addition to a being a big guard.

Love that I woke up to good news.
Welcome to the UCONN family Qadence. It’s going to be hard work, but know that you can do it, because you’ll have the best coaches guiding you.

 

[Purchase1]

Exciting welcome to Qadence!

 

[Mdoggie]

Qs gots some hops and looks like a rebounding machine that is aggressive and can hit the three. I like it!!!
I bet they call her Q.

Here is her announcement with some highlights

This mean they are done? No Kitts?

 

[mudcat]

Just loved "Defense wins championships"

Kitts IMO doesn’t have the “dawg”in her like this kid. He need a few dawgs!

 

[Oracle9]

Who are we in the running for here..Are we looking to get two more?

Delaney Thomas‘s name came up in the Qadence thread. Is she on UConn’s radar? I see she was a teammate of KK Arnold on the U16 national team.

Not sure if I remember it right, but I thought she was a teammate of Azzi in HS as well, and I believe she was in a picture with some of the players as Azzi was arriving at Uconn and moving in so to speak.

That’s Delaney holding Stewie on Azzi move in date. I think Delaney is a lock if UConn wants her. But what do I know. That other girl did me dirty. Lol

Sarah Strong

Regarded as one of the nation’s premier prospects in the rising junior class, Strong can consistently shoot the 3-pointer with a clean flick of the wrist. She has great size with elite skill at the wing position. In that regard, Strong is the perfect modern day front court player with the ability to switch any screen or handoff action.

We discussed Kate Koval a while back. What's the current thinking about her? Has anyone managed to see her play?
