The link is to Carl's blog about Saniya and her brother...a moving story. Also some of her comments
about her basketball so far and a quote from Bria on our talented frosh.

Great piece. Great kid.

Oh no. Well Chong will probably lose about half the support on here because of the tattoo.

And even worse, we'll get the "why does KJ have a band-aid?" threads every other week. (except they'll be why does SC wear a wristband? )

If it hasn't already been answered

From the linked article - "Official practice starts in about two weeks"

Good article on a good player and person. She's seems inspired , she's healthy and ready to go. I don't think the tattoo is a problem being so small and not so visible.

I think you may underestimate some of the piousity on this board.

Great article. Love the tattoo. I wonder if it will be covered up during games. Hers is an interesting one for sure...

hahaha...too true

 

[DaddyChoc]

noticed that Tiffany finally got one (atleast that we can clearly see).

Chong is going to be closely watched on this board for the next 4 years smh

Time for a pic...

Given the background with her brother and the nature of the tattoo, I see very little chance of this board spending much if any time on this issue going forward.

We don't have all the "in season" posters right now.

every tat means something to the owner... but grumpy folks always find something wrong with just about anything

Very true, but I'm not aware of what other players had a tattoo that was dedicated to a sibling who took his own life. I wonder if CD will ask her to wear a wrist band. We will probably know in the first game.

My favorite is apple and occasionally key lime.

Stef has a tattoo and everyone still likes her.

I make a great Dutch Apple and I do love some Key Lime pie, especially from Key West.

Oops

I believe most of the negative comments about tattoos on the board have been about large fullbody or sleeve tats.

So you're saying that Auriemma and Daily also suffer from piousity? Personally, I think it is something else.

 

[Paul1969]

It's time to go back. Remember Kenitra Johnson had a bandaid on her shoulder which I believe covered a tattoo. I always wondered why it was covered and what was the tatoo???

 

[arch]

Ahhhh. The pious vs the pompous. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Nope, don't believe they are on this board. They know better.

I expect that Geno and CD will apply their coaching wisdom and delegate the tattoo counseling task to Shea Ralph. Since she got away with a tat as a UConn player she knows all the tricks.
