We're about an hour away from the Jordan Brand Classic. All three UConn incoming freshmen are set to play in the first girls' game in the event's history.

Here's a look at some of what I have written over the last couple of days including De'Janae Boykin being a little more excited than your typical all-star performer to get onto the court, Napheesa Collier able to end her high school career with a third state title in a row and Katie Lou Samuelson relishing the pressure that goes with being a part of the UConn program.

I also caught up with legendary Christ the King coach Bob Mackey, an assistant coach on the East team, about the potential of UConn's incoming freshman class and also have a story on Capital Prep's Kiah Gillespie thriving on a national stage.
