It's been an interesting couple of days in Colorado Springs.

Much of my focus was spent catching up with the three UConn commits and per my request, the always accomadating Caroline Williams of USA Basketball had De'Janae Boykin and Katie Lou Samuelson make the short walk from Sports Center 2 after the U-17 morning practice so they could pose with fellow future Husky Napheesa Collier after the U-18 practice.

I have also been following the progress of the three Connecticut kids who came to the trials. Capital Prep's Kiah Gillespie is among the final 46 players vying for 12 spots on the U.S. team playing in the FIBA U-17 World Championships. Then there are the UConn recruiting targets with Erin Boley, Lauren Cox, Crystal Dangerfield, Asia Durr, Sabrina Ionescu, Tori McCoy and Arike Ogunbowale still in contention to make the U-17. A story on Durr and Ogunbowale ran in Saturday's paper and there will be more in the paper on Tuesday.
