A friend's daughter would like some help!

She attended Geno's bb camp around 2001 and many of the UConn players signed her sneakers. She was unable to identify one autograph. She sent me a text with a picture of the autograph with the number 35 next to it. Does anyone know who this might be? Is there any way I can provide you an image of this autograph? It is in jpeg format and when I try to place it into the body of this text I get the message picture does not have an allowed extension.

She would have been 4 years old. I guess that would explain the illegible handwriting.

Marci Czel UConn 98 - 01

I thought Czel was #13.

I thought Czel was #13.

Are you thinking Jacquie? She was from CT as well and she wore 13....

First letter of autograph looks like an M and that is above the next two characters which look like a w and a D. Below the D is 35. All the characters are very legible.

M
wD no space between the tops and bottoms of characters.
35


We're going with Marci because numbers don't lie and the alternative would be (w)eapons of (M)ass (D)estruction and we all know how that turned out!

Thanks everyone.

They both wore 13. I just check the UConn archives. Czel was #13 in 2000-2001.

Marci Czel signed my son's hat as #13 in the 1997-98 year - to the left of the blue button...

Here is the 2000-01 roster with numbers (scroll down). No #35, but you should be able to ID the autograph using the process of elimination.

Pg 80 of the 2014-2015 UConn Media Guide lists letterwinner players by their jersey numbers. According to the guide Czel and Kathy Ferrier (90-93) are the only players that wore #35. #13 was worn by Banks, Fernandes and Sadiq.

Yet there Marci is, front left in the 200o- 2001 team photo, wearing #13.

The crayon might be a tipoff.
