Anna

[Dabber]

Been wondering where Anna is calling it "home" now that the dorms have been cleared of students and, as well, whether or not there is any chance at all of her getting back to Poland........... really feel for her being so far from her family at a time like this. I am sure that between Geno and Chris she will be fine but still...........

It is certainly difficult being so far from home. Hopefully, her family is safe.

Anna spent time with Molly over one of the breaks. I would not be surprised if that is where she’s hanging out these days.

Thanks for the heads up!

Stuck on an essentially empty campus. Grim. Let us hope things are far different come summer session.

I would hope her scholarship covers this. If not, demand that it does.

Hopefully, Anna can at least pick up some take out meals at Casa de Auriemma.

Can’t see the Courant article, so if it talks about this I don’t know, but two new UConn players would be affected if the travel ban extends a lot longer than we hope. Muhl and Edwards can’t come in under current restrictions. It at least might impact a summer arrival. Miserable time worldwide.

Wonder if they let Anna and Evina go shoot hoops in the practice center if they want to practice.

I envision each alternately shooting the ball with the other rebounding. They can maintain social distancing while shooting a couple hundred shots per day.

Great article on Anna in this mornings Courant.

Yeah, so long as they sanitize the ball between shots.

In the article Anna says she can shoot, though weights seem to be out. No details beyond that.

Or they can shoot the ball while wearing rubber gloves.

I thought it said that she hopes she can shoot.

If UConn wants to release Muhl and Edwards from their scholarships so they can go look for local options in their home countries would that be allowed?

Not sure what could have prompted such a thought, but just for the sake of discussion the scholarships that Nika & Aaliyah signed are only binding amongst the NCAA member schools.

I hope Anna knows she has the love and support of UConn Nation in this difficult situation!

Right.

 

[Steelerone]

I think the Women's basketball program brings enough income to help support any player in a time of need. There are probably ten thousand fans who would be willing to take her in as an "exchange" student.

I agree. The team...and Molly in particular...would never hang her out to dry. Never. Geno would take her into his home. I am sure.
