Crystal Dangerfield "I am Sport"

[masshusk77]

Nice video of Crystal in her own words and her teammates words.

"I chose Connecticut as the school I wanted to be at because of their intensity…"

Gotta love that!

 

[bags27]

UConn's intense?

 

[GG]

Love it.

Her parents look like really nice folks. And I like their shirts.

Gotta love that!

She may regret saying that later this year because what she thought as intense may just be a walk in the park compare to what she will experience

It's Crystal signing her "Letter of Intense."

What a knock on the University of TN that the 3rd best HS player and #1 guard in the country from TN has chosen UCONN to play because UCONN has a better program than historic TN!

 

[Plebe]

Nice video. This kid is a winner. Next year's starting point guard.

CD, Gabby, NP,KLS , SC, Kia and company. " We gone be alright"

Did you notice that pass to #33? She's got it already!

I agree! What a sweet elevating jump shot! We're not going to forget Mo, but we're going to be just fine.

 

[Hongster]

I like what I see. I like it a lot, I'm very happy to have her replace our beloved lightening fast MoJeff

To bad there isn't a replacement for Breanna Stewart!

 

[JavaMan]

Think she's eager to get here?

​

I have already noticed one HUGE weakness that she will have to completely fix before the season begins next fall.
She Tweets a lot!

 

[Mdoggie]

Not a weakness. It's what they do. She will learn the no social media rule during the season and will be fine.

Absolutely everything about this incoming player seems so very positive. And after 31 years of success in recruiting great young players, who invariably turn out to be really terrific young adults, it would be silly to critique the recruiting judgement of Geno, CD, and the rest of the staff. It seems quite likely that Crystal Dangerfield may be another Husky who embodies the best about Connecticut WCBB. Welcome,welcome, welcome.

But the crotchety old geezer in me wonders if promotional videos (even after the recruiting is over) and affiliation with an organization ( I am sport) that aims to do more than produce highlight videos, suggests that the apocalypse is upon us. I know the world has changed (it always is) and kids interact with it in a way that surprises, confuses, and annoys some old school fools like me. And I do try to refrain from judging.

But are we losing something valuable when people (not just athletes & not just young folks) are so engaged in promoting themselves and being promoted by others ?

Read my Twitter comments, like me on Facebook, YouTube my videos, Google me, read my blog, buy my t-shirt, ....

Am I overreacting ? What would George Carlin say ?

 

[Mdoggie]

Yes you are.

 

[BigBird]

"Weather radar is now detecting an incoming flight of Russian ICBMs. So, I wouldn't sweat the thunderstorms..."

When those "old gaffers" among us were kids, this was funny stuff. Still is.

LOL...........good one Milford!!

It's kinda like when a kid graduates from junior high school. They can't wait for that first day of high school. I vividly remember watching my son's face light up, as he was beaming with pride on his first day of high school.

Normally he bemoaned that the summer went by too fast. However, that year, he could not wait for the summer to be over. To answer your question, yeah, she's eager to get to Storrs and begin her college experience.

The interesting thing about her arrival is that she will arrive with more expectations of her (because of all of the media & Boneyard hype) than anyone (except Stewart) in a long time. I hope she enjoys everyday of her college experience.

This kid with Stewie is going to be really, really, really good:

She goes by "Katie Lou" or just "Lou." Some call her "The Heir Apparent."

What a knock on the University of TN that the 3rd best HS player and #1 guard in the country from TN has chosen UCONN to play because UCONN has a better program than historic TN!

My first thought! I think the frosting on the cake was "I've met my childhood dream of going and playing in Connecticut". This statement reveals the fact she had her mind made up to come here back when Tennessee was still relevant.

By this time next year, I expect that both Crystal and her teammate Jazz Bond will be starting for UCONN and USF respectively, and I'm looking forward to them playing against each other throughout their college days.

No doubt, it will be strange for them, since they have been playing WITH each other since they were seven. LOL

 

[TimeWillTell]

I DID, I DID!! Crystal is practicing for next year.......Katie Lou in the corner for 3...........Crystals got her all lined up...........go UConn!.

guess Crystal couldn't convince her that snow isn't a bad thing.

BTW what are Jazz stats and ranking... wonder if Geno took a look

Please consider Jazz Bond for AAA Miss Basketball @Kreager @Murph_TNsports @CoachTcom @mopatton_sports

Jazz Bond

I believe she is a 4-star player by some of the WBB recruiting services.
