So, the rest of the coaches are bringing 1-3 players each. Meanwhile, Geno needs a larger vehicle, because he's bringing THREE All-Americans PLUS an Olympian. This is why Azura will return next year--she can go to Media Day, she'll be a starter, and she'll be a 1st Team All-American.

Oh no! That’s terrible. She’s one of the best players for Tonya’s squad.

Butts averaged 15.5 ppg last year and was 2nd team all-conference. She’s that really quick 5’4” guard.

Agreed. Think temples gonna have a tough yer without her

I like her. I remember her when she was a freshman. She is small, but quick. I was very sorry to hear of her injury. Her season ended before it began. She is a senior, I wonder if she'll redshirt, and return next year?

The event is at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott. It's a short taxi ride to pasta and cannoli in South Philly.

Shocking UConn Women Predicted to finish 1st in AAC Coaches Poll

UConn Picked to Win 2017-18 American Women’s Basketball Title

 

[MilfordHusky]

The Core 4 are live from Philly right now!

The Commissioner has a schedule conflict? That’s lame.

Monica McNutt doing the intro is a local kid and former Georgetown star. She and Sugar almost knocked UConn out of the Philly Regional in 2011. She was a tough nut—physically and mentally.

I'm really glad to see that USF got a vote for #1.

Either: Jose voting for his own team, which is very cool
Or: Geno playing head games with his own team and out of well-deserved respect for Jose
Or: someone just pissed at UConn and hopin' and prayin'
Or: someone just plain out of their cotton pickin' mind....

Probably can't vote for your own team

My guess as to what they are saying:

Alterique: Damn, I think I'm the shortest one here! Oh wait, no, it's Gabby!

Gabby: Doesn't matter, I still out jump you!

Thought her interview skills were excellent. Extremely well-spoken. Would like to see her on a bigger stage.
