Lou Lopez Senechal to UConn! (Merged thread)

[Topdawg]

Great to expand the cultural diversity of the team. Nika and Dorka should be excited to add another player from Europe!

 

[Lawrence]

That's great.

Honestly I wish they'd gotten Dorka some help.

I like they way you said “I wish” instead of “UConn NEEDS to get Dorka some help”

What's her height in IHU?

Here's a video of Lou making a half court shot during practice and drilling a 3 in the MAAC Championship game.

Finally, I think most of us wanted her as soon as we knew she was available. Four guard rotation while leaving Caroline on the wing. I was getting tired watching our competitors getting new players from the portal. Now I'm happy, hoping she can come aboard in June as Geno has indicated, as well as Amari who said she would be spending the summer here. I hope there are others also, but if Lou2 can develop a relationship with Amari then that would be an excellent head start.

 

[JordyG]

Yay! She fills our shooting guard need. She has 4 years of college, plus international experience. She was the Conference POY. I’m very happy!

Since we've discussed this you pretty much know how I feel. I would however add that her size and beautiful release will be a welcome addition to the teams pull up game and from the arc. If she has a dribble drive game hopefully that will show soon, and that would be an even more of a welcome addition.

I always wonder if transfers & freshmen who join UCONN realize the passion & loyalty that Husky fans extend to new players. It must be an uplifting experience to be embraced by such a large, dedicated fan base!

Enjoy the honeymoon b/c some of the boneyarders will turn on you in a second if you don't meet their explications. Some are actually quite ruthless. Meanwhile welcome aboard Lou 2. Glad to have you. From a former longtime resident of Fairfield, CT.

Watch the video of the Fairfield's championship game against Manhattan. She averaged nearly 20 a game getting tons of extra defensive pressure from the opposition. I don't know if she can defend like Caroline but her offensive skill set is similar.

With one or two of Paige, Azzi, and Caroline on the court, Lou will not be guarded as tightly as she was when she was the primary scoring option.

 

[Kaizen]

Fairfield vs. Texas highlight, 52-70 at NCAA tournament March. . Lou has 17 pts. She can shot "three".

 

[veryolddog]

Would anyone know if this is a one or two year transfer deal?

Yea, agreed - I've been amazed a number of times at some of the comments I've read during games in the chat room.

Unfortunately Lou2 has only one more year of eligibility.

She is light out off the screen. I think she is an Evina replacement, a utility player. I believe they will be OK with rebounding. Ice Brady is big and real good. And I expect Amari to bulk up this summer.

With Arnold and Shade coming in 2023, that is just the right fit. Lou2 will get some good exposure for international opportunities and I can see her pushing caroline but not block our newbies.

 

[Centerstream]

After viewing some of these highlights, I thought that I was watching some Caroline highlights. Having two Carolines would be great but no idea how that is gonna play out next fall...

Lou is a baller.

That's the key word. It's too bad UConn didn't have her the last couple of years because Lou can play.

 

[CTBballfan243]

So who’s minutes will she take, Nika’s?

 

[eebmg]

Geno hoping for a lot of Deja Lou.

 

[DefenseBB]

Sorry, I hit the wrong post before. A nickname in 7 minutes. Only on the Boneyard.

Speaking of Nicknames, it might have to be Geno “Jose” Auriemma with 3 Euros and a Canuck on the Roster…
