That's also what geno said about paige, that she was better than expected! Really excited about Sarah strong!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great assessment, nice to see current clips of their international games.
Thanks
@go2hvn thank you I've been telling people that when she did play against Canada 🍁 she had a couple open shots didn't take them. Very hesitant that's why she was replaced...
So exciting having this classy talented young lady coming to Storrs
As usual you do a fantastic job brother. Appreciate your hard work and input. Great take by the way.
Much appreciated!
She’s has a outside shot good defense and really good passing
Having seen her live, I would say you gave a very solid evaluation!
Thanks
Fantastic, once again! You rock my man.
Thx
Oddly enough, UConn had to go small, with Paige at the 4, often last year. Now they could go really big, with Strong at the 3. Not fulltime, she could be at the 4 some also.
They don’t have “proven” enough options in the frontcourt to play Sarah at the 3 that much. I like Brady a little. But UConn has 6-7 better players than her.
Strong can play all 5 positions really. She can do everything.
So happy UCONN hot Sarah Strong, she will be great and I know the coaches must be excited with this roster.
I wish someone would announce how Caroline, Azzi and Aubrey are doing?
Let's gooooooooo!
Imagine Paige ice Sarah and Jana on the floor at the same time. They can play in the paint and hit 3s with ease. This is gonna be crazy I can’t wait
No doubt about it, Uconn is loaded to the gills with elite talent, clearly the most since the Stewie era. To dominate again, all they now require is the extinction of the longest injury plague in their history. If that happens, Uconn fans will rejoice because we get to see birth of another monster team.
If Geno has all the greyhounds and sharp shooters come off the bench, second team is going to be SCARY good! First team can pound them and second team run them off the floor.
Yeah, they were one shot and a bogus call away from the finals last year...with only 7 available players! If healthy, they have to be a favorite to reach the championship game.
@@BuccWylde Husky fan here. The call was not bogus. Edwards was moving. BUT, as a ref, you DON'T make that call with 3 seconds left in a tournament game. You have to let the players decide at the end.
@@BuccWylde And then they would have been BLOWN out by South Carolina, just like in 2022.
If everyone is ready to go and Geno is willing to do a full rotation, I can see a second team with Strong, Griffin and KK going up tempo and running other teams to death. Ice needs to be willing to drive to the hoop this year. And not settle for a jump shot. I saw a clip or two of them working with her on that last year. Let's hope she gets aggressive. I think Geno needs to tell her to drive and we'll live with the charges. Just keep driving. First team could be really good. And second team really scary. I'm EXCITED!
Strong will be 1st team
@@KelzKelz I think it comes down to where Sarah and Jana fit in the rotation. Other than Paige, who is obviously a lock on first team, I think the second team could be as dynamic as the first team. And that is SCARY for opponents. That's why I would love to see the second team with KK go up tempo and run teams into the ground. Imagine KK with Aubrey, Fudd (limited minutes first half of the season) or Chen and Ashlyn, and Allie or Cheli. They go second string and it's all speed, athleticism, and sharp shooters. And there is still Q. Not to mention Patterson and Caroline. Imagine a second team that is faster than the first team. So many toys! Is it Christmas already!!! Come on Coach, let the greyhounds run!
Great breakdown. If you UConn stays healthy…SCARY HOURS!
Sarah looked good. As you pointed out in the video Joyce Edward’s & Betts has looked the best to me on the team.
Joyce and Betts have done well in the last few games because those teams have absolutely no size. Against Brazil Joyce struggled because they actually had a big. Sarah can pass and score of all three levels. Not just on layups and offensive rebounds. Joyce is more athletic so she’s like another Angel Reese.
@@VecksJanae Lol as I told you in the chat when we were watching the game live . Sarah is good however she will need to slim down & work on her conditioning. She looks slow it will work against these team in U18 however it won’t cut it in college. Joyce is already there with her conditioning & has lead score on the team 💪🏼.
@vecksJanae Sara is probably the 4 or 5th best player on the squad that one reason she coming off the bench she's not physical she sits on the 3 pt line and picks her spots defensively she's an outstanding passer with great court vision and shots the three well. Comparing Joyce to Angel is not a good comparison.😂😂 Aja Wilson is more of a comparison ..
@@Danielle0722 yet she can’t score outside of 15 feet. Athleticism doesn’t always translate either skill does tho.
@@user-eh6cd6wm3z Sarah is coming off the bench because she’s on a minute restriction not because she’s not good enough to start. Sarah also chose to stay at UConn instead of going to the first week and a half of USA basketball practices so let’s not spread incorrect information. Last time I checked there is only record of one player’s name being chanted by a fanbase during a nationally televised game. Can’t switch up now because your fave team got snubbed and looked stupid for begging especially considering they supposedly already had the ✌🏾better✌🏾player signed lol…Sarah is the best all around player, and anyone who truly knows basketball can clearly see this. Her ability to shoot threes is what actually keeps the floor spaced and helps the post players ya’ll overhyping be able to score easier without traps. But again ya’ll don’t really understand basketball.
She also has a very strong passing vision and delivery.
Some good news for UCONN well its about time however, I’m keeping my fingers crossed until the season starts in the fall. B2S giving flowers to my new “Mya Moore” Sarah Strong.
Btw: Pili’s WNBA head coach has said that Pili is 5’11 on a good day. So she shorter than expected.
You should just do a review of all the team usa players and what you think of them
UCONN Strong!!
Is this the UConn channel now?
No just in a blue period like Picasso. But will stick to more college ball as find WNBA too toxic right now
@@back2sports 😂👍🏻
@@back2sports Picasso's was 3 years-hope yours is not as long.
I don't want to see all the players chucking threes unless their efficiency tells otherwise. I want to see the balance between inside and outside games. If you are a sharpshooter like Fudd, Shade, Allie, and PB, you have the green light. All others should work on their shots around the paint and dribble, stop, and shoot.
I don't know that you're overhyping. Certainly she has the potential. She's the number one pick after all. But it remains to be seen if that translates to D1 ball. Don't get me wrong; I think it will. But there's going to be a learning curve. Fortunately, she's willing, or appears so, an has good players to teach her, not to mention Geno and staff. Perhaps the best thing she brings is pressure on Ice and Ayanna. That may be the push Ice needs and, while Ayanna doesn't need it, it isn't going to bother her. With Ice, Ayanna, Jana and Sarah, maybe Paige can go back to playing guard.
She had very limited minutes coming off the bench at americup. Not sure why. She played like 10 minutes in one of the games and was 1 rebound shy of a double double.
I been watching the tournament and in my humble opinion. Sarah is clear as day the player on the court rather she score the most points or not! Her game is mature and extremely impactful. Her game will translate very well at the college level.
Playing against some weak teams, hard to tell. Opposing coaches find the weaknesses and exploit them. Sarah will be a real good one when she develops. I think better game than Edwards, more moves and better shot. Been a while since that had a player her size and potential talent. Jana is the one im looking forward to see.
I like both her and Edward's, but Edward's is clearly more athletic , better defensively and she's bigger and still runs the court faster than strong .
@rover7139 well all that remains to be seen with Sarah. I enjoyed watching Edwards but people forget she had tough freshman and sophomore years.
@@eugenemonty6469 what remains to be seen ? I said I like both players and I think both are good fits for uconn and sc, but Edward's is a better athlete and bigger than Sarah ,but she doesn't look bigger because she has an athletic built. I didn't say anything Negative or wasn't true.
@@eugenemonty6469 I don't FORGET that Joyce Edwards is the MOST decorated high school athlete in the USA, and she is the MVP of the FIBA U18 Americup. I've seen enough of Sarah Strong, she's another Fudd, injury prone (as some of you suggest) and no dog mentality.
It's all about the Benjamin's.
She may be a big surprise.
I hope heckel gets playing time at usc. She looks really good.
I think it is hard to take much away from the tournament. The competition is not very good. USA is winning by 80+ points in some cases.
Heckel and Kennedy playing with Juju and Kiki is going to be fun
BarkLeyesque
But he was awful 3 PT shooter but get what u r going for
Why is Joyce Edwards always upstaging her ? Isn't she supposed to be the #1 recruit.
Joyce Edward's is clearly the best player on that squad.
You can honestly make a case for both they both are very good honestly. Strong is a little smoother with the ball but Edward’s defends the paint better
@@CtFletcher-eg5zj I like both but athletically it's Edward's, what I didn't realize was Edward's is actually bigger than strong but she doesn't look like it because she's built and runs like a freight train on the court
Ya’ll constantly running to videos about Sarah to talk about Joyce is so exactly she isn’t the better player. Ya’ll continue to want to stamp Joyce off the clout of Sarah. Joyce and Betts have done well in the last few games because those teams have absolutely no size. Against Brazil Joyce struggled because they actually had a big. Sarah can pass and score of all three levels. Not just on layups and offensive rebounds. Joyce is more athletic so she’s like another Angel Reese.
@@VecksJanae I like both players , I live in Wilmington area, I've actually seen Sarah play in person .she was always the biggest girl on the court , but watching her play with players her equal, she doesn't stand out like Joyce . Joyce has been the best player in all the girls all star games including the mcdonalds game .
Joyce is an excellent player but Sarah is the best all around player. Go compare their stats as Sarah fills up all the columns.
You are taking clips from Teams that lost by 80 and do they have any players that are taller than 6 feet!!
So overhyped is your answer. Thx
@@back2sports not at all but wait until they at least have some competition.
@@chasnami Canada was VERY good competition, they always are.
Sorry, Sarah IS overhyped. She played well against weaker teams, only 10:15 minutes, no points scored against the Canadian team in the Finals. GREAT win for USA!!!
Ya’ll coming on a video of a high school kid who isn’t even healthy right saying she is overrated is weird behavior. Sarah literally has nothing to prove especially not to the fanbase that was begging for her services via chanting her name on national television. And who swore up and down she was coming there. 😂
@@VecksJanae she's healthy, she Said so last week ,stop making excuses, she was averaging the 3rd most minutes on the team because she playing in 4th quarter when game were out of reach. Her lack of athleticism shows up compare to a lot of those girls, Sarah is a good player ,but she wasn't the best player on that squad. Maybe 4th or 5th best. She doesn't stand out amongst her peers.
I thought Vs Canada - team USA looked the best when both Sarah & Edwards were on court together in 3rd qrt. That is when they broke it open - IMO
@@back2sports USA look and played best when Edward's and Betts were on the court together. Sarah lack of athleticism stuck out like sore thumb amongst her peers , she doesn't run the court well. She played about 10 minutes and never played a minute of the 4th quarter .USA coach stuck with her best players who could keep up with a quick athletic Canadian team. I like Sarah and believe she choose the school that fits her best, she maybe 1 recruit on paper but definitely not on the court. So keep it 💯 and stop with the B.S
@@rover7139 she wasn’t healthy this is not something I’m speculating this is information I have been told from members who are actually staff and traveled to Columbia with the girls. don’t have to make excuses for her, I’m simply stating that she is dealing with a minor knee injury which is why she didn’t start.
00:40 Wouldn't it be funny if she opened her jacket to reveal a "CLOWN COLLEGE" sweat shirt ?...🤡
She is not playing for Nyguard!
@@back2sports She's playing for Under Armour
just like any women players that goes to UCONN you are going exaggerate the talent over the years of recruiting how many recent championships do they have
Yeah?
. Oh stop, clearly you're clueless. How many injuries to multiple key players have they had the last three years??
@@spinecat UCONN fans have more excuses than Trump has lies
Excuse me didn’t they just go to the final four with a limited roster?
UCONN still has the most Natties with 11. Including going to the Final Four 15 of the last 16 years. How many Natties & Final Four appearances does your rag tag team of losers have ?
* self train to keep fit and strong but more than 45 minutes I. The gym on any given day is a waste of time!
You don’t have to spend all day in the gym to be competitive.
* just ask Nika Muhl!
Basketball 🏀
Nika Muhl is riding the bench in Seattle, I would not ask her anything.
She a defensive liability
Lmao you were in the stream yesterday and that’s not at all what you saw
Quit running democrat negative ads.
Lol I don’t think he decides the ads
People cannot choose what ads go on their video
Are you a DemocRAT ?
I am an Australian now and don't control the ads. I vote labour and sometimes green
@@back2sports I don't give a rats ar$e about the lying theiving DemocRATs. I do care about a wonderful Aussie woman named Tiana M. that is fighting for her life once again.
SC fans stay on UConn videos looking for attention 😂
🏆 National Champs !! we have plenty of Attention 😂😂
SC fams just don't want you to get your hopes up...
@@user-eh6cd6wm3zso if you’re national champs why are you on here?
@@user-eh6cd6wm3zUConn has 11 national championships btw so just take it down a few notches.
@@go2hvn2008why do you care? You’re a South Carolina fan worrying about a UConn player 🤔
Sarah is a great talent, no doubt. IMO she's miles better than Edwards. But she has a lot to learn. She needs to get into better condition. She needs to learn to use her body inside better, use her footwork better on offense and defense, and she's going to need to learn how to play with a more fire in her belly. Otherwise, go UConn.
Miles? That's a big stretch.
Thr things you said she needs to work on, Edwards already does. So miles is an exaggeration.
Nope ..Edward's stands out when she's on the court because of size and athletic ability.. strong looks heavier than Edward's but she's not ,because Edward's is built and runs like a freight train. I like both players but Edward's is clearly athletic phenom.
@@deekwilliams3255 Maybe. But the things Sarah does Edwards will never do. Edwards is mostly a garbage type player. She scores on put backs and, after the guard breaks down the defense, layups. Edwards can however work well off the block, although I still need to see more of how well she works her power dribble, how she works against larger defenders inside, how much variety she has inside, how good is her leg drops and specifically how she works over her right shoulder. Sarah can do all of these things. But Sarah also scores off the dribble, will always be better from the arc, she'll always be a better shooter inside the arc, will always be a better FT shooter, will always be a better passer, will always be better off the ball, will always have better offensive instincts, and will always be a better decision maker at both ends of the floor. The things I said are Sarah's weaknesses can be improved on easily within the first year. For Edwards, although she is athletic and quick, many of the things Sarah does she'll never learn.
@@helgar791 Well.....I guess this explains why the USA coach kept Sarah on the bench when they faced a good athletic Canadian team.
In the WNBA she will be - Too SMALL for a FORWARD. Too SLOW for a GUARD.
