"They're kind of like our fans in one sense. They have this expectation … They watch us on TV, they think, 'I'm ready for this, I'm going to go there and I'm going to do this, this and this, and I'm going to win a national championship, and I'm going to be first-team All-American.' "And then when they get there this summer and they go through their first individual [workout] with Shea and Marissa and CD, they go back to their room and they call home and go, 'I'm not sure about this. I'm not in Kansas anymore.'" [URL]http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-uconn-women-italy-0528-20170527-story.html[/URL] And summer classes begin for some players. [/QUOTE]
