Kudos to The Hoard for all the hard work in covering the U-17 and U-18 USA teams with UConn commits and possible commits singled out. Great links in the UConn section!!
From Blue Star on UConn targets.
Megan Walker – 6-1 – Guard Chesterfield, VA
Walker reminded everyone taking in the USAB U18 Trials why she is considered the number one player in the country regardless of class. Walker was lighting it up from every angle imaginable. She was consistently elevating and stroking the midrange jumper. When Walking wasn’t knocking down her smooth jump shots, she was attacking off the bounce and finishing at the rack. Defensively, Walker was locking down her opponent causing havoc. It’s going to be hard keeping the nations top player off the USAB U18 roster.
Samantha Brunelle – 2019 – 6-2 – Forward – Ruckersville, Virginia
This young forward has already established herself among the elite in her class and her play so far in Colorado Springs is backing up that status. Sporting a combination of size, skills and instincts, Brunelle has the versatility that helps coaches at the next level sleep at night. A smooth stroke with a soft touch from deep forces defenders to be there on the catch. She’s shown some impressive drives off a deceptive shot fake and handles herself well on the way to the rim. Her movement in transition as well as on the cut in the halfcourt is fluid and with intent. As she matures physically and adds strength good things may turn into great results.
Charli Collier – 2018 – 6-4 – Post – Mont Belvieu, Texas
The evolution in Collier’s game continues and it’s producing results for the Texas native. A more focused effort in the low post has made her much more effective and created opportunities not only for herself but for teammates as well. Her ability to read situations and defenders is improving each time out. Her choices in both attacks and passing are quicker and more efficient than ever before. She’s finding looks both baseline side as well as into the middle and traffic. Collier will still take the perimeter look when it presents itself but is much more selective as to how to mix it into her offensive repertoire.
Christyn Williams – 2018 –5-9 – Guard – Little Rock, Arkansas
An athletic and strong guard, Williams has the attack that challenges any defender in transition or halfcourt sets. The lefthander is quick on the catch and has the acceleration with the ball to leave her match up scrambling to recover. Her ballhandling has a mix of changes as well as a step back that creates lines to the rim or separation for her jumper. Off the drive she can take it all the way to the rim but also elevates for a pull up on a dime. There’s no reservation on her part about taking it among the bigs and she’s productive on the shot, pass or getting to the line.
