Mosqueda-Lewis, Stokes are Gatorade state players of the year

UConn signees Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Kiah Stokes were named Gatorade's state players of the year in California and Iowa respectively on Thursday.

Mosqueda-Lewis, a 5-foot-11 wing at Mater Dei HS in Santa Ana, Calif., is averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 2.6 assists per game and has 106 3-pointers.

Stokes, a 6-foot-3 center at Linn-Mar High in Marion, Iowa, averaged 25 points, 14.9 rebounds and 5.6 blocks per game while shooting 72.1 percent from the floor to win the award for the second year in a row.

The Huskies' third incoming freshman, Brianna Banks, lost out on the Georgia award to UConn recruiting target Diamond DeShields, a sophomore at Norcross High School.

UConn commit Breanna Stewart, a junior at Cicero-North Syracuse HS, was named the New York winner. Stewart is 24.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 5.4 blocks, 3.6 assists and 3 steals per game. The South Carolina recipient is UConn recruiting target Xylina McDaniel, who averaged 18.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.9 steals, 1.9 assists and 1.7 blocks per game as a junior leading Spring Valley to an undefeated season and South Carolina 4A title.

Good thing there isn't something akin to a 'salary cap' or 'revenue sharing' or 'excise tax' or whatever in college sports like there is in various pro leagues, or it sounds like we'd run afoul of it by landing so much talent!

Nice to see the best get a chance to work with the best!
