Good for her! Good luck Anna!

 

[Gus Mahler]

Ha. I knew it!

 

[Performance]

Best of luck to her!!

In other news Earth has been reportedly going around the sun....

I'm going to miss this kid so much.

Happy that Anna is off to live her dream and her family will be able to see her play more often and in person.

Good luck!

That's great for her. Once you've been at UConn coupled with covid causing her to be away from home so long, I'm sure heading home looks really good.

I think Dorka will also be a one and done player and head back to Europe to play professionally. And that's all we need her for....

I guess there are far more pro opportunities overseas and allows her to start earning money while being close to home. Seems like a good choice for a player who probably wouldn’t have made it to the WNBA. Best of luck!

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Makes sense. Why continue to play what is essentially pro ball for no money?

Wonder how much she will earn over there? Is this a trend?

One of my favorite Huskies the past 2 years. Wish her nothing but good health, success, and a ton of money!

Maybe for Europeans...

Good luck Anna! You were so much fun to watch.

 

[freekimchee]

Good luck, Anna! Have fun and earn lots!!

I, too, also think Dorka Juhasz will be at Storrs for one year only. But I'm thinking she's going to use the boot camp/training program/finishing school that is Dr. Geno's world to get her ready for professional ball. My one caveat is she may want to give the WNBA a try, as well. And UConn gets another long, rangy, surprisingly athletic forward to throw at the world for a season.

Just have her work on her FT shooting..it's regressed (badly) every year.
(I've watched her quite a bit on the B1G network).

Oh, btw, good luck to Anna, as well. I liked her game and her spirit while she was both on and off the court. Seems like a good egg. Go get 'em in Europe!

 

[Dokey]

Damn, I was really hoping she would end up at Colorado. I wish her great success in Europe but will miss seeing her play. Her backward pass to CW remains my all time favorite play in UConn history.

 

[rollskies]

Good luck to Anna! Definitely going to miss her in Storrs but I wish her the best on her next journey

 

[bluedevil]

Here's hoping she is never 0 for Europe

 

[Penn]

Anna,

Congratulations and best wishes.

 

[oldude]

Great for her. Anna hasn’t seen her family in over a year. That has to be hard. I’m guessing mom has a big plate of pierogi and kielbasa waiting for her.

 

[EricLA]

So happy for her. Great kid, great attitude, great teammate, and will always be in our hearts as one of our special foreign Huskies. Wish her much success. Go get 'em Anna!!

 

[Artifact]

Thank you 'ANNA' for your coming & playing basketball at UConn. Now will get
to see family & have some great home-made Schawnie {delicious} 'Pierogies' !

 

[WBB_FAN_WA]

Good luck Anna. Thanks for being a part of the UConn program.

 

[veryolddog]

I wish her only the best. Looking forward to seeing her in the Olympics.

I doubt it will be a ton of money. As of 2019 a player with NO WNBA experience was making 6-7K a month in the top leagues like Spain and Italy. Players with that experience make about double that. Still not getting rich as the salaries are not changing much if at all. Obviously the top players like Taurasi, Maya Moore, Griner etc. can make much more.

 

[Kaizen]

Great news .... the best ending and wish you the best. Thank you for the 2 years in UConn.
