Candidates for honey badgers ...

[schmendrick]

other than the player formerly known as Bam bam.

Kelly, perhaps? Bria?

Well, if you view Honey Badger from the Tom Petty/"Won't back down" perspective.."you can stand me up at the gates of hell, but, I won't..back down."..well then, D and Jamelle are two that come to mind.

Well here is how Wikipedia describes the behavior of a Honey Badger.
"Honey badgers are intelligent animals and are one of few species capable of using tools. Honey badgers are notoriously fearless and tough animals, having been known to savagely attack their enemies when escape is impossible. They are tireless in combat and can wear out much larger animals in physical confrontations.["

Well, Kelly's in. It doesn't say anything about them struggling offensively at times does it?

While Kelly is certainly no shriking violet--she can give as good as she gets--she doesn't have the Honey Badger 'tude. Doty and DT have it in spades

I'm referring to this honey badger. Geno specifically mentioned it in relation to Caroline on the last Geno Show.

.....that's why I say CDoty and DT!

I think (hope?) most BYers know the context of Honey Badger by now, excepting a few stragglers, despite the Wikipedia definition detailed above...

Well if people understand the context then I contend that there is no discussion and there is only one answer. CD is THE Honey Badger. So it has been spoken, so it is done.

 

[meyers7]

I would definitely put Shea in that group.

Swin and Jen definitely had a bit of "the badge" in 'em.

Not sure what's gotten into Caroline the past couple of games, but I like it. She's been especially fierce. Maybe after the DePaul game, she just said, "F it, what happens, happens, but as long as I'm still able to be on the basketball court, I'm going to fight like this is my last game...because it might be." I thought she was a little tentative early in the season, and she seemed really upset and worried on the bench at DePaul, sitting there with a deep, long scar on each knee, wondering if it all the pain, rehab, and work had been for naught. But then the good news came that she was OK, and it seems to have kick-started her. She's ready to kick somebody's ass until her legs don't work anymore.

Hopefully, she injects a little of the badge into Kiah Stokes before leaving Storrs. Can't imagine what Kiah would be like with her body, physical skill set, and that kind of warrior attitude. She may be always be a bit stoic, and that's OK- I just want to see her play with reckless abandon. God help WCBB if she does.

Exactly. Honey badger don't care. Nothing can stop honey badger.

Absolutely, the one and the only Honey Badger, capital H and capital B.

Honey Badgers are always offensive.

 

[UConnChapette]

Honey Badgers are always offensive.

Then DT - the original potty mouth - is clearly a candidate.

I also think Mel Thomas qualifies. Maybe not from an "offensive" perspective, but defensively that girl was fearless, willing to sacrifice her body for a rebound, steal or saving the ball from going out of bounds.

 

[ThisJustIn]

When she was on ESPN, Wil had a little Honey Badger in her.....

I like her attitude recently. Can you imagine what it would be like if this caught on to a few other players? Dolson had it for a few minutes at Louisville.

[justML]

I just watched the clip on YouTube for the first time. Literally LOL funny.

Geno himself has some Honey Badger in him. He don't give a $#!& either

 

[Dairyair]

So many...Jen, Shea, Mel, Diana, BT...the list goes on

Asjha.

 

[Huskymaniac]

Shea had to be the most intense competitor I have seen in a UConn uniform. Diana and Jen were up there too.

If Honey Badgers wore knee pads then the moniker HAS to go to Jen.

She DEFINITELY didn't care.

 

[pap49cba]

Even now, when I see Shea on the bench she looks like she wants to go out on the court and deck someone.... could be one of our players too.
