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.

I would hope UCONN will let her stay after the year ends, for free! She certainly has no control over this situation :oops:

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.

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

Maybe the Fabulous Freshman can continue their house sharing

Or they can shoot the ball while wearing rubber gloves.

This reminds me of the mid 1950s. Wampum High School Pennsylvania. The players would do drill with gloves on. dribble with glasses on that were blacked out on the bottom..(think bifocals ) ..so the player would keep his head up. Drills must have worked. Wampum won a couple state championships producing a prolific players in Don Hennon (MD, LaSalle U) and Richie Allen (MLB Phillies).

Many years ago, my JHS coach made us scrimmage with gloves on. It really forces you to concentrate on your ball handling. It turned out to be fun after you got the hang of it.
 
Well hopefully the NCAA is easing up on some of their ridiculous rules during this difficult time for some of the players that come from foreign nations that can't fly back to their home country. Like if you or a family member helps out a teammate and you just happen to be an alumni of that school, are you running the risk of providing an extra benefit to that player even though you are doing the right thing by helping a student out.

Who knew playing outdoors in snow was good for ballhandling?
