When news came out every day. This was clearly a flurry due to the team being available at the Travellers


This should bring some extra smiles

“I’m sort of a people pleaser,” Bueckers said. “I like to do everything for everybody else. But I think the biggest thing for me this summer was actually taking a step back and staying at school. I feel like when I’m at home, everybody is like, ‘Oh, it’s the offseason, she can come here and do this and come here and do that.’ I feel like I’ll be all over the place if I’m at home. I won’t get any time to rest and get better. So I think the biggest thing for me was staying at school this summer, just to stay focused, getting stronger, getting bigger. I’m getting quicker and sharpening my skills as a basketball player.”

“Paige will have fun here,” said Fudd, who will soon spend time in Minnesota. “I’m going to the lake.”

“Martinis on the beach,” said junior guard Nika Mühl, who will return home to Croatia in July.

Nice friends.

UConn's Griffin looking forward to getting back in action

"I think that was one of the most underrated parts of the season last year was how much we missed her," UConn guard Paige Bueckers said. "Everything she does for us offensively and defensively was missed. She's got a guard body but she plays like a post. Obviously having her back will be a huge key for our success this year. I'm excited for her."
