Adamec: Achonwa praises UConn recruit Kia Nurse

[pap49cba]

“She’s a great athlete,” Achonwa said. “She’s a tremendous point guard. I’m excited to see what she can do with Team Canada this summer, too.”

I'm thinking she is a fantastic pick up for UConn and she'll make a big contribution over the coming 4 years. Maybe ends up a 3 who occasionally slides into the 1 or 2?

Agree. Sounds like a versatile player.....which is the type of player Geno loves.

Classy comments by Achonwa. And yes, also correct/accurate ones.

I'm doubly sad for Achonwa also having to miss playing for her country in the world championships.

Team Canada will miss Natalie. Her injury is a shame.

And likely true that NA was their best candidate at post. Canada will be hard pressed to replace her. They don't have the numbers that we do, but they will play hard anyway. Never saw a Canadian team quit in international play (thinking of soccer, among others).

I said in another thread - Kia Nurse is one of the top 5 recruits in the entire class and during her 4 years at UCONN, will be compared to Diana Taurasi on more than one occasion....
