I read the posts on this thread with both incredulity and bemusement. Geno and UConn have accumulated one of the most gifted and balanced teams in living memory..."What me worry?" Perhaps they won’t, but they have the talent to steamroll their way through an amazing season (notice, I didn’t say...

Rocky I truly think her positives will so far outshine her perceived “sloppiness" Geno and the staff will quickly cure her of her excesses. An occasional miscue will be of no concern as we’re speaking of one of the top players in the Italian PRO league By the end of her Freshman campaign I...

Tomcat: The thought crossed my mind as well

When I was in college...must have been 57 or 8 I took a gf to a Knicks game...not in the garden; the 7th Regiment armory, perhaps? Any way...I “called" the game for her as she sat there...much to the bemusement and annoyance of those sitting around us...

Cabbie I’m far from an expert of the intricacies of pro football; even basketball (though I still play a bit at 86)... But I’ve found that watching with the sound (completely) off is increasingly satisfying...especially, with (IMHO) the diminution in quality of broadcast teams and their utter...

Nice town to be stuck in for the Winter... Good on You, Kaitlyn

NYT piece details what W players would theoretically earn if the were paid as much as their NBA counterparts. Eye-opening (and specific) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/10/03/opinion/wnba-pay.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk8.Smnr.Oy89g9MBuUAs&smid=url-share

Arike was a much better teammate than advertised She and Paige could meld into something special I certainly did not love her style of play in prior seasons But I can find little fault in her play this year

BigB I’m just an under-educated ex-musician who skipped out of my required College physics requirement and somehow received a passing grade... So your analysis is. “Greek” to me...Sounds good though and we’ll be in Crete and Athens over Thanksgiving so perhaps I can catch up...

Tony My only problem (for me) with your post is... Our Nucleus is key I don’t have a clue who the nucleus is. (?) So many potential stars...perhaps too many.

Great piece David, very much on my mind For me, Bianca is the wild card...Is she on a true pro level? If so, watch out. We’ll be spending a great deal of time in and around Naples this Fall... But I suspect Napoli is on the other side of the Atlantic from you.

Really, really, really.

Real leadership apparent Only a Soph...

With the greatest respect David I think the real question is: How much new scoring has arrived? We'll know soon enough.

The combination of a true back to the basket banger and scorer with the rest of our fore and backcourt talent signifies that this is one of those years that Geno will begin the season confident of our chances. This may be one of the great all-time UConn teams Go UConn, go Tony
