Humorous quip from Ruth Hamblin ...

[Plebe]

... regarding the first three picks of the draft.

Within the first 25 seconds:

Ms Hamlin is a nice soul but this is a waste of time for as a UConn Wbb fan.
Her saving grace is she's a Canadian..

 

[OldAlum]

I enjoyed it.

 

[BroadwayVa]

I enjoyed it.

That's nice. She's a nice kid---I wasn't particularly interested in her angst waiting to be picked. It is part of the process.

That was why I cued to the fact that the UConn-related material was confined to the first 25 seconds of the video.

Is it possible to unlike a post?

 

[grizz36]

At least I thank you for your post, Plebe. As opposed to some in this thread, posting too much UCONN, and only UCONN can lead to inbreeding and you know what kind of a family results from that.

 

[rbny1]

Very funny. What a great sense of humor, especially in the face of so much pressure. I would have been catatonic.

 

[UcMiami]

Really enjoyed the whole video - what is known as self deprecating humor.

 

[Scud49]

That was enjoyable - a very big day in the life of an early 20 something person.

She seems like a really nice kid. Not sure I would have wanted to videotape i if I were in her shoes, but what the hell? Best of luck to her.

Her grace is seen through her personal humility and humor.

Ah yes, I remember those college days very fondly, except nobody drafted me.

 

[rugbymate]

I'm now a fan of Ruth Hamblin...wishing her well....the packaging of WCB at the highest levels, particularly the prepackaged video, makes the players seem almost like pros....we tend to forget that they are just kids...very refreshing insight into the draft process for non-"green room " draftees

 

[rt bb fan]

Did Hamblin get drafted and by what team?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Same here although while I went undrafted again this year, I've offered up my services, at least on a temporary basis, to replace Curry if he can't play. Not sure I'll be taken up on my generous offer, but fingers crossed!

Drafted by the Dallas Wings. 18th overall. Good luck to her. I enjoyed watching her humor and wit.

 

[meyers7]

That was good.

 

[xHunt3r]

That's nice. She's a nice kid---I wasn't particularly interested in her angst waiting to be picked. It is part of the process.

Did you really think she was being serious thru the whole video?

 

[Wally East]

That was fantastic

Kids these days live in front of their cameras and catalog their entire lives for Snapchat, Imgur, and Reddit. It's just what they do.

Good to know smart folks are working overtime to determine with certainty what is and what isn't a "waste of time " for UConn fans. Sheesh.

Not to mention we have nothing better to do now that the season over. Bring it all on!

She is a great kid and has a great sense of humor. Nor is she a waste of time for UCONN fans since she will likely be Kia's teammate on the Canadian National Team.

She is far more gracious than some UCONN fans.

Ruth Hamblin | Women’s Basketball 2015-16 | Senior CLASS Award

Ruth is a remarkable young woman. Outstanding college athlete, study/matriculation in a challenging academic area(Mechanical Engineering), and a person of substantial character. Hardly a waste of time for anyone anywhere.
