Carl: Moriah making a point

“Mo’s awesome,” Dolson said. “She’s extremely quick and shoots the ball really well. Before she came here I didn’t know she could shoot it so well. And all preseason I was blown away with how well she can finish her shots and finish around the basket. Defensively, she’s like that little gnat that you just want to swat away."

“Moriah’s just feisty,” Hartley said. “She’s so small that she goes unnoticed then all of a sudden she just pops up out of nowhere. She’s a great defender. All I know is that when she guards me it’s really annoying."

Good to hear Hartley's apparently healthy enough now to be guarded by Mo.

Moriah can do some things that we haven't seen much, if ever, in the college game. She's a huge X-factor this season, and I can't wait to see her play at this level.

Sounds like Mo is going to be good one...a real good one!

 

[sarals24]

She's phenomenal. It's insane that she is the least-talked about player in the UConn freshman class...that just shows how deep it is. In any other program she would be the headliner of the entire team. (OK, maybe not at Baylor. But most others)

 

[TDiNozzo]

If she bugs her teammates so much, she's going to be quite a pest to her opponents..

^^^^^^I am pretty sure that Mo was guarding Bria earlier in the summer before Bria was shut down and put in a walking boot. So this unfortunately isnt a reflexion on how well Brias is feeling now.

Jannah Tucker (and her dad) seem to have attracted a lot of conversation recently and the likelihood is that there is much more to come.

sara I agree with you! I was happy to read Carl's blog/article! It was an in depth piece with
great comments from Bria and Dolson as stated by fellow posters! It also gave us great inf from Mo! This kid is the consensus #2 player in the 2012 class with a 98 rating along with Stewart!

I suspect we and the country are going to be hearing/and seeing how special this kid is!

sara Can't leave out Kelly who per Bruno is "1 of the top 5 players in the conference"
She is going to lead us<too much is given to just the scoring avg> to the NC Game and I hope she goes out with a bookend NCs! I love Kelly and have for her entire career. She can take Mo under her wing

No.
Ankle has been struggling & she got a cortisone shot earlier this week.
Only 50/50 for preseason opener on 11/2.

Can you imagine subbing Brianna in for Mo? The opposing player would think she's getting a break - for about a second, lol.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

I cant wait to see Mo Jefferson!!! I think she is gonna be great!

Nice to hear she has a nice shot and a true point guard....

Geno loves PG, especially talented ones, so I imagine she will have a stellar UCONN career.

Since the conversation has taken a turn about pesky insects, maybe they'll be calling our little Texan point guard MoSkeeto.

Don't bug me!

To be replaced by Brianna, the fly swatter.

Nan, I am glad to see an "LOL" from you.

The 5'7" Hartley said, on the 5'7" Moriah, " She's so small that she goes unnoticed ...."

Bria's actually 5'9" and I think Moriah is closer to 5'6" (though listed at 5'7"). And even Bria might have 15 pounds on her....!

Where are your manners? It's not polite to talk about a lady's weight.

Yea, I thought that was funny that both of them were listed as 5'7" at UConn's Official site. I should have added sarcasm to my comment.
