Adamec: Nurse's competitive spirit all in the family

“We have a lot of talent in our class. They are great basketball players. They are great people. You couldn’t ask for a better combination. Overall there is definitely an attacking mentality or a scorer’s mentality between us. We play some tough defense. Gabby is the most athletic person I have met in my life. Courtney is a great shooter. Sadie can get to the rim and finish. So we have great variety there.”

I read that quote from Kia and what comes to mind is a gleeful: He He He He He He gleeful with a little nasty throw in.

Thanks Pap for the Link.....Good article. I like that she and the other 'newbie's' all get along so well. Its going to be fun to see them grow and develop as the season progresses. And if her talent assessments of all hold true.....looks like Geno may have a gold mine on his hands.

LETS GO HUSKIES!!

I remember watching KN in the world championship. Kia was fearless and showed great athletic ability!!! She will be one of the UConn greats when she leaves!!!

That was the thing that struck me about her as well. 17 year old kid fearlessly driving the lane against some of the best overall women's basketball players in the world!!!
This is gonna be so good!!!!

Between practicing against her own teammates, and her time with the Canadian National Team, there shouldn't be anybody that would intimidate her (offensively or defensively). As has been noted in some other threads, confidence is an amazing thing.

There was one play in the WC that stands out to me about Kia, reminded me of Mel at her most intense. Canada missed a shot, the other team secured a defensive board and turned up court. Suddenly Kia had pounced on the ball, took it away, and flipped it in for a layup. Total competitive fire. As I said, couldn't help thinking of Mel.

"Gabby is the most athletic person I have met in my life."

This comes from someone whose brother plays in the NHL and who played against Maya Moore in Bridgeport.
