    Caroline video

    No need to clarify Bone. Both posts are spot on. I am still getting used to a 6’2 woman being considered a perimeter player. Fifteen years ago, women of that size played around the basket. Yet, UConn has 3 (Carol, Morgan and Sarah) who have rhe ball handling skills to play the perimeter. What a...

    Awesome MVPhee article

    My all time favorite Husky and it is not close. Just a ridiculous player and even better person.

    Azzi putting in the work

    Odd that they are teaching a push off move.

    U19 World Cup - Kayleigh Heckel

    Game just ended. Gold for USA. Hall was again spectacular. Too bad Jazzy doesn't get to play with JuJu for a while. I assume she starts immediately for Southern Cal. I am glad Kayleigh is a Husky. She does not get rattled. Knocked down the FTs down the stretch.

    Geno interview on Succeeding and Failing.

    He talks about "making a player who is square round". I immediately thought of Ice Brady. He made her play the five because of lack of depth at the position. He knew she is more comfortable on the perimeter but he needed her inside. Now that he has the depth inside, I am excited to see Ice...

    Caroline In Charge - Video

    I can’t wait to follow her coaching career whenever that is. Her communication skills and ability to connect are off the charts.

    'I'm back home': Why Kayleigh Heckel transferred to UConn

    It probably isn't the case but it seems like Kayleigh had to convince Geno and Chris that she could add something to the team rather than the other way around. Happy that she chose UConn because she is very talented but I consider her a luxury. This team would have been great rather she chose...

    Ashlynn Shade? Not a lot of talk about her

    You probably said it better than I did but we are saying the same thing. Ash is going to play a lot because she has earned Geno's trust. The 40% plus 3 ball clip is a little deceiving because her makes come in bunches. With the number of players I mentioned, Ash will have to be ready because...

    Ashlynn Shade? Not a lot of talk about her

    I share the board and Geno's love of Ash's game. However, with the quality and quantity of next year's roster, her minutes may decrease next year. Consider: 1. She pretty much just plays the two. As well as she rebounds, she might play some 3 if Geno's utilizes his small lineup. I have not...

    We're All Rooting For You, Jana!

    Four wishes. All doable imo. 1. Improve FT percentage. 2. Dramatically decrease missed layups. 3. Cut down fouling. 4. Make her low post moves quicker to avoid double teams. The team needed her 10 to 15 minutes a game last year. Geno has other options next season if her progress slows.

    First Practice Video with the newbies

    K9 was 11, Gandy was 24, Kelis took the long 3. CD, Sarah, Ayannah, Ash and Azzi also appear. Blanca is not there yet.

    First Practice Video with the newbies

    Lets dream big and say Caroline returns to full health and earns 25 minutes a game. In my opinion, if that comes to fruition, she becomes the voice in the huddles and takes Paige’s place as the team leader.

    First Practice Video with the newbies

    What the NCAA guidelines on summer practices? Are coaches allowed to instruct? Is it basically open gym pickup games?

    Looking into Next Season

    I think Ice should be at least part of the list of potential perimeter shooters for next year. 1. I think Ice played 5 out of necessity her first two years. She developed into a decent post defender and could provide serviceable minutes there is the future. 2. She does not fit what Geno needs...
