Welcome, Emily!

Question the wisdom of disclosing "a major toll". Hope she finds the gig to her liking and being home restorative.

Is she thinking that UConn is a step down from SC? She may be surprised.

The Courant is hiring somebody who is that much "In Love" with SC WBB to cover UCONN? How many resume's did they sort through?

I grew up on Big East hoops & can’t wait to get back to my roots via one of the most prolific WBB fandoms in the country. Opportunities to cover both an elite NCAA and WNBA team are so rare, and I don’t take that for granted. See you soon CT! Hope you’re as excited as I am

 

[MilfordHusky]

Did someone leave the Courant? Or get a new assignment?

Does seem a bit puzzling but I guess we’ll see. Best of luck to her.

Give Emily a chance. Many of us rolled our eyes when ESPN hired Kara Lawson as an analyst, Kara proved to be objective, at least on the air.

Guess you missed it that she stated that being so far away from her roots, her family, friends, and partner was having a major toll on her mental health. Also stated that her heart was somewhere else and that made it hard to her best work.

Apparently, Emily is from this area, growing up as a Big East fan. She said it is a dream to cover the WNBA, so she gets a bonus to cover the Connecticut Sun as well as our beloved Huskies. I don't know what happened to Lila (I really don't recall her name), but I did notice her absence in the reporting of the team. If Emily is excited to come here, so am I. After covering SC, it should be an eye opener to cover the legacy which is UConn womens basketball. Wishing her all the luck and I look forward to reading her articles, especially from someone from outside the program, seeing how this team just perseveres from all the heartaches they have had to deal with the last 3 years.

You're thinking of Lila Bromberg. According to her social media she works for a home health care company as of October.

She's from Philly too, so I'm sure her and Geno will hit it off.

What happened to Lori Riley and Carl Ademac

 

[BRS24]

Adams was one of the AP voters that ranked UConn below Louisville, after UConn soundly beat them.

 

[HuskerDo]

You need a comma after voters. That will be an admission you don't actually know how she voted.

Best wishes to EMILY... welcome to the BASKETBALL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!
