    Nika and KK both attending Kelsey Plum camp

    perhaps her confidence was boosted by the 'surprise' of being a top draft pick, and she's determined not to be a second (or third) fiddle anymore. she looks good.

    UConn stats... 10 reasons Ashlynn may start...(again)

    i think BYers who see azzi starting in the fall are delusional. that's even if her injury issues are finally behind her and if she is 100% healthy, which might be true later next season. this would be great cause she seems to be a super teammate and an outstanding person and she's got tons of...

    UConn (only) recruiting (only) speculation

    A. she doesn't want to be blamed for making uconn 'bad for wcbb' again :):):)

    The day after the draft, who’s trending?

    this may be a better asset for nika than her basketball talents -- if the storm have any appreciation for nika's intangibles (we know from the BY not everyone value this).

    WNBA Draft (merged)

    liberty have a poor track draft record, though they somehow managed to 'discover' sabrina ;)

    60/50/90

    paige does not need to hunt for more shots -- though she is excellent at it when she decides it's needed. the problem with paige is her frequent refusal to take good shots -- even great shots -- when they are available.

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    if i were a basketball player seeking a college to attend, and my talents were such that my ultimate goal was to play professionally, i would imagine one of my prime priorities (though there may be others too) would be getting into a program that has an extremely exceptional history of giving...

    WNBA draft 2024: Who is the best all-time No. 1 pick?

    D far in the front, not to say the others better didn't pan out. i wouldn't put candace before bird. ... we're talking most impactful pick, not the best player. charli collier makes the list???? perhaps they had a reason but i didn't read the blurb.

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    i am sure the team would be refreshed by having beers throughout the upcoming season. it'd help them get through tough practices and games. note that the beers repeatedly mentioned here is not REAgan --- like the '80s prez -- but RAEgan. i never have run across that name before and am curious...

    Nika Muhl and WNBA Draft

    the Athletic has nika going to the Liberty in 1st round. it's impressed with her defense and her facilitating on offense is a bonus. A mea culpa on my part, as I did not appreciate how impressive Mühl was defensively until seeing her in person. She is strong and tough and causes real...

    Portal Shopping List

    projecting how azzi, caroline, jana, ayanna or aubrey are going to rebound from their injuries is a crap shoot: all might be what we visualize in our dreams, all could be total flops. it's more likely we'll have a mixed bag, so to be prudent uconn likely will try to go with a full 15-scholarship...

    you're sleeping on yanna (and also aubrey). in recent photos, it looks like yanna's taller now. really.

    Strong to UConn [merged thread]

    From all appearances, Sarah indeed was for a long time destined for Uconn. Now I would like to be told the story behind the drama. Some will surely respond that this is none of our biz. OK. But it is a good story that deserves to be revealed. I hope we get it. Why the long hold-out? Why the...

    Grit & Tenacity, Fire and Desire, Heart and Soul. Nika!

    nika was the standout of the iowa game. just tremendous. couldn't ask for more. tired, injured and playing virtually the whole game, she did uconn proud. and even her shooting was clutch. she'll be missed. ( BTW, the first foul call against her was extremely lame! ) also -- i haven't waded...

    Sarah Strong announcing tomorrow 4/6 at 11:00 am on ESPN

    y are folks projecting depression or glee before the event? not criticism, just curiosity. for me, i believe in wait and see. anticipation is good in that it provides juice to life. but getting down or up before the fact just leads to stress.

    Analysis and Comments - UConn vs Iowa - Final Four (Game 5 - NCAA Tournament)

    my gambit would be: let caitlin launch her bombs to her heart's content. if she's hot they're going in regardless of defender. focus should be on denying her the ball & top priority is doing everything possible to stop her drives to right side of the basket: get some charging calls on her...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    for all s/strong speculators: in chipotle game this a.m. she went down in 3rd Q. she returned later. BUT, she was tended by staff before going to the locker room (or somewhere out of the arena) and it seemed very ominous. it appeared she injured her KNEE and it looked like one of those...

    UConn Recruiting Speculation

    if u or I was in her position, then that's a good question. but she's sarah, not us. nor anyone else. maybe (probably) she's got other things to consider. that's fine. i don't understand the obsession with her. even assuming she is the bestest thing since sliced cheese, if she doesn't choose...
