Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4353847, member: 7548"] Nice KK Arnold story in the Athletic. Nothing earth shattering but always like to see kids who always wanted to come to UConn. [URL unfurl="true"]https://theathletic.com/3441597/2022/07/22/ucon-kk-arnold-paige-bueckers/[/URL] “When I was younger, that was like one of my top schools,” Arnold said of UConn. “The playing style I’m in right now in AAU and my coach, he’s kind of similar to Geno (Auriemma), so just that and then just wanting to be coached by Geno. And then be(ing) around great players like Paige (Bueckers), Azzi (Fudd) and all those great players that are there right now.” Despite her sister’s Tennessee fandom, Arnold had an early goal of playing for UConn. “She said, ‘Man, when I get older, I’m gonna play at UConn and I’m gonna play for Coach Geno and the environment is going to be electric,’” her mom, Kim Arnold, said.
