Another article on two other new Huskies - Crystal and Molly

Dangerfield, Bent Take Different Paths To Storrs, But Both Expect To Add To UConn's Legacy

I like the fact that Geno acknowledges that Crystal is a freshman who will have up and down games, pointing out that Mo struggled as a noobie, too.

The video that's embedded in the article is interesting because with a quick glance at Kyla, it reinforces other pictures that she's come to Storrs in really great shape--something she had said in late spring she was determined to do.

It's interesting--perhaps a coincidence--that Geno is holding on to the 2 transfers.

Good question, anyone knows who she is? Looks like not UConn player since all UConn players wear white shirt.

Too short for Kyla.

Per the photo above, Gabby looks like she's been doing squats with a 500-pound barbell, her thighs are absolutely bulging.

Gabulous will have an outstanding Junior year. I'm one of her biggest fans and she never disappoints.

Gabulous is my favorite player now that Mo has left the building!

Obviously!! Twas a JOKE-- .

Don't think it's Janelle Francisco (new trainer), as someone suggested...

I thought Molly Bent would be a throw-in, a Lauren Engeln-type kid for whom expectations were low. But here's Geno in that article:

"When the rest of the coaching staff saw Bent, Auriemma instructed his assistants to get Bent on campus. 'Because if we don't, don't be surprised if we're in the Sweet 16 or the Final Eight and we're playing some mid-major and she's kicking our guys' [behinds],; Auriemma said....

"But without prompting, he mentioned Bent. 'Not a lot of people value a kid like that, who knows you're open before you know you're open, Auriemma said. 'That's a lost art. Every kid that you talk to, they say that she's an incredibly hard worker," Auriemma said. "Her motor just never stops. We've won a lot of games with kids like her.'"

Hmmm....The surprise of the year? Will Bent be the one virtually non-ranked kid who comes to Connecticut and makes it big?

I'm rooting for that very thing! I can't wait to see this perpetual motion machine.
