Do we have to make Jewell an honorary Husky?

Jewell was always complimentary of Geno. In fact there were many occasions where she credited Geno for expanding her game and making her a better player simply through the myriad defenses he threw at her. Her and Brianna Turner are my two favorite Domers simply for being good, honest, hard working people.

It would be fun to hear Jewell's response to so many Huskies.

May be Storm should change name to "Seattle Husky".

There have been Huskies in Seattle for a very, very long time. They wear purple and gold.

Imagine a certain ex-coach’s reaction to Jewell becoming an honorary Husky worth it just for that reason

I have never disliked Jewell, Brianna, or Jackie Young. But the Mabrey clan ....

Agreed. Like Kia Nurse, she's tough to like if she isn't on your bench. As for me I liked Shepard, Turner, Young and Jewell the minute I heard them speak. They are all just fine young women. I found Turner though to be particularly thoughtful, kind and sweet.

Let me get this straight. You qualify to be an honorary Husky if you are female, played college ball for a hated rival, and are well spoken. Not in my Hall of Fame.

Kara Lawson fits your description and we made her an honorary Husky years ago

Kara went out of her way to embrace the Husky program on many occasions on national television.

I think given Kara's position as a talking head most if not all of these young women I've mentioned would do the same.

I was a bit confused by the title of this topic. Why would we add a popular singer from the late 90's as an Honorary Husky?

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Good point @JordyG .

You must mean the one on my head. Occasionally though I make sense. Monkey at a typewriter and all that.

The Domer Jewell is more talented.

Was Tina a number one draft pick? Does Seattle start four #1 picks? Unprecedented?

Charles was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 WNBA Draft out of the University of Connecticut, earning 2010 WNBA Rookie of the Year honors with the Connecticut Sun after averaging 15.5 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. Seattle now has four former UCONN players on its roster, accounting for eight of the Huskies’ 11 NCAA Championships as Charles, who was a two-time NCAA Champ in 2009 and 2010, joins Bird (2000, 2002), Stewart (2013-16) and Gabby Williams (2015-16).

I would love to see this

Last night's game was the first time that SEVEN #1 overall picks played in the same WNBA game: Sue, Tina, Jewell, Stewie, Kelsey, Jackie, and A'ja.

Not sure why anyone would think that Jewell would want to be an honorary Husky.

 

[Geew1992]

Yes…. Yes she is!!

 

[baggerbob]

Yes…. Yes she is!!

I think Tina did , when Jewell made the great shot to close out the game last night against Las Vegas.
Tina was the first one off the bench for a chest bump, and Big smile by both.
