Another UConn Pro: Thumbs Up For Makurat

[RockyMTblue2]

WNBA players think Makurat will thrive at UConn

“They develop players so nicely, so hopefully it’s an easy transition for her. I think it will be,” Hayes said, adding that Makurat is a “really good” shooter. “Sometimes it’s hard for players that are from another country to get used to playing in America, but I think with some time, she’ll get with it. She’ll be a big help for them. She was a really good player.”

Lots of praise for Geno from Hayes. Best recruiting tool for UConn is the alumni!!!

I think she'll end up as Anna or Annie. We could check with Stewie, she might have some insight.

Maybe so, Java. But I also recall reading that she prefers Ania. This could be ON-yuh or ON-ee-uh.
