Lauren Cox is also scheduled to visit on 1st Night weekend.

Dangerfield, Irwin, Bent, and Cox - all will be seated together (and with their families yet!) in catbird seats to bond while watching the #10 NC banner unveiled. Just WOW!

Geno's cunning "get to know your future teammates" strategy will be in full view. As the Swedish siren sang in "The Producers," "When you've got it - flaunt it!"

Put another way, remember Don Corleone's chilling advice about how to make a persuasive offer.

I'm excited to see who the unofficials are after the fact!

Do we know if any of the 2017 targets will be attending First Night?

Kib - will the banner be unfolded for first night? I assume the trophy will be on display, but isn't the banner usually for the first game of the season?

It would be nice if they can introduce Kiah, Tina, and Swin as members of the WNBA Champion New York Liberty. Not a
"Pipeline To The WNBA", more like a tsunami.

I will be surprised if more don't come, and slightly disappointed if AEH isn't there as well as a few more kids from 2017... Let's keep our fingers and toes crossed!!

I think they can unveil the banner more than once.

If my memory isn't completely shot, I think they unveiled both the men's and
women's banners last year at first night.

Will first night be televised on SNY?

Will first night be televised on SNY?

No, but ESPN has covered it the last few years.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

I may not be able to make first night this year, so I hope any coverage is copied to
UConnHuskyGames.com like last year's celebration was.

Good question, and of course the safe answer is that it's up to Geno as to when the banner is unveiled. Geno's temptation to rev up the guests (including Ms Cox) is tempered by his consideration for Kevin Ollie and his players - not wanting to show them up in any way.

Is this going to be joint First Night with the Men's team like last year?

Has been for about 5 years now.
