Wow, what a schedule.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Wow, what a schedule.

Was thinking the same thing.

 

[CocoHusky]

Wow, what a schedule.

Was thinking the same thing.

No travel involved. She is basically meeting the coaches at her house after school for dinner at her kitchen table. Girl gotta eat right?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Will Geno show up with some Taurasi wine? Or Geno Auriemma wine?

 

[HGN]

Looks like mom is going to be preparing a lot of meals and snacks during the month. All the BIG boys are coming in.... Except USC (East).

UConn has got to get a "Williams" in the 2017 Class. Ladahazia or Jade. One or both. Both are good. Both got Huskies written all over them. The Huskies do good with Williamses. Gabby being the latest.
Come on Williams and come to Storrs.

LETS GO HUSKIES!!

UConn also in on top 2018 guard Christyn Williams.

Gabby, Jade, Christyn, Ladahzia....just sneak Tamika back onto the squad and you've got an all Williams lineup.

My wife is always reminding me that sometimes......."less is more". How many ways can you tell someone that you want them?

I wonder if WBB is copying football's "Pot of Gold" gimmick.

The luck of the draw suggests that UConn will land at least 2 5 star "bigs" during the next three years. We've stockpiled enough guards for the next few years. IMHO I think we should concentrate on securing a couple of blue chip, high quality bigs during the next three classes.

Given the recent overall success of Geno's program, there have got to be some quality bigs coming out in the next 1-3 years that want to join in, and become part of legacy. Somehow the staff always manages to come through. I have no doubt they will continue to do so. Everyday I log on to the yard, I expect to read that a blue chip big has committed to UConn.

Yeah - if that is the first week (as the caption suggests) then she average two letters a day from ND - don't know about her family, but that sure has the smack of desperation about it to me.

14 letters in a week is pretty annoying

to you... but to her and her family it could mean LOTS OF INTEREST

 

[DaddyChoc]

and those 2 fingers she's holding up... sort of like the same thing Diggins was doing a while ago. Is that a "sign" of some kind?

Don't think so. Think it's just a variation on the peace sign.

Don't think so. Think it's just a variation on the peace sign.

Oh... thought they may have been representing something else

That maybe annoying to an adult but Jade is a teenage girl (16??). 14 letters a week might be the equivalent of getting 14 likes on facebook or some other social media.

No I am pretty sure it is a terrorist recognition signal!!! Like those fist bumps from a few years ago!

Some of us know exactly what it means.

The English and the French have always been fighting each other. Back in the time of crossbows, they figured out that, rather than take prisoners, it was easier to just cut off the first two fingers. Then the "prisoner" couldn't shoot his crossbow. This is the origin of the sign in Meyers' picture: "I can still kill you."

The crossbows are gone, but the sign has lived on and spread way beyond England and France. The original sentiment is pretty much still shared between the English & French. This is also how the Brazilians took it when Nixon walked out of Air Force One on the runway in Rio de Janeiro flashing two "Victory" signs.

 

[UcMiami]

j66 - minor correction - longbow, not crossbow - the cross bow has a fixed 't' and a trigger, and can be armed in a number of ways including a crank. I believe the crossbow projectile is more typically called a 'bolt' - much shorter than an arrow for a longbow. The longbow requires two fingers to draw properly - typically the ones used to indicate victory, displeasure (and as I said above a secret terrorist society that no one has ever heard of.)

Oh, I am aware of the symbol's more vulgar meaning. Somehow. I don't think that's what Jade was going for with her selfie, haha.
