Kayleigh Heckel (K9)

I’m assuming this will be a series featuring the new players, so I’ll try to post them as they become available.

Interesting that she says she wants to show what she can do because she didn’t get to last season. I added that last part, but I think it’s what she meant. If so, then I think we’re in for a treat this season.

another rapid-fire talker (a huskies tradition) and i expect K9 will be a hit with the (shrinking) horde. really impressive is the absence of hmmms, ummms and other fillers in her speech. and only a soph! .... i wish she would release a smile more often ... CD can resolve that.

Well here we go, another UConn player with her head on straight...........

I am "Super Excited" to have K9 be a UCONN Huskie!

Maybe she can take smiling lessons from Ashlynn. 😀

It's fair to say she's super excited. I like her demeanor. On the smiling, on Facebook the other day I asked if anyone has seen her smile yet and she sent me a photo of her with a pretty smile from the USA team gold. Followed by:
Blanca Quiñonez
She's in game mode. We'll get her to smile for the camera soon enough.

Not 1, but 2. A first for this camper.

I thought that was the implication also by what she said. I also think it was because her job primarily last year was to get the ball to JuJu and Kiki. She has a complete game as was visible in the U19 tourney. She also looks stronger now than even in that event. She is a pure point also who has no problem running an offense. Really strong PG position for us this year and come to think of it, we ain't exactly weak at any other number either!

Super is a filler. I haven’t ever said it in a conversation; another sign that adverbs have virtually disappeared.

Here you go…

Kayleigh's interview got me wondering. Her last game at USC was a loss against the team she transferred to. (Just call me Captain Obvious.)
Have any other players transferred to the school that they played against in their last game with their former team?
I think that K9 is going to be another KK type of player for the Huskies. I didn't think so at first but in watching the few available practice videos and re-watching the Elite 8 game a few more times, I agree with most everyone else here, she can be a very good addition this season.
