Awesome. Thought for sure we were gonna be screwed getting them here. Thank you to whoever worked their magic to make this happen.

I never would have guessed Nika would make it over before Anna!

Excited to get as many players back on campus as possible this weekend and hope that they’re all able to stay healthy.

Bingo!!! My 4 wishes for the season. We play a full season including a full post season. We play well all season losing no more than 1 game before post season play begins. All of our players play well, learn the game at this level, and get lots of playing time. No injuries..... period. Not even a hang nail.

That certainly is very encouraging news. I am also excited for them. At least they will get to know each other and have opportunity to practice with each other forming a team. In so far as a season is concerned, I do hope the Big East opens up play, but, time will only tell. Do hope Anna makes it soon. Something going in the right direction.

Well, Nika is known for her speed.

I don’t know if this is a factor or not, but the US still has in place a travel ban for the 26 countries in the Schengen region: which includes Poland but does not include Croatia. That doesn’t mean travel is impossible. It just means that if you’re traveling from Poland to the US, you have to jump through a few more hoops to get here.

Uurgh, If it was shooting through more hoops, she'd be home free.

Pig that I am I immediately shift in to my "We Want Anna" mode and I demand a Congressional investigation.

With that out of the way the news on Ms. Edwards and Ms. Muhl is the best in months.

Imagine how Anna feels seeing her team assemble without her. Optimist that I am, I expect to see her in Storrs soon. Pessimist that I am, I don’t see WBB in 2020.

Anna training to swim across the Atlantic.

She's thinking about how much she is going to miss playing for UConn this season.

Where in Canada is Edwards again? Is the border still closed? Just curious if she could drive down.....

Aaliyah lives in Kingston, ON which is on the east end of Lake Ontario. The border is not closed to students studying in the US. It’s about a 6.5 hr drive from Kingston to Storrs.

Thats not that bad then.... She can do it...

Anna training to swim across the Atlantic.

Would that be considered being isolated for 14 days if she did swim across the Atlantic?

Depends how fast she swims....

Guessing she has a smooth stroke.

Guessing she has a smooth stroke.

And that she CAN put it in the ocean!

looks like Nika can get her visa as of 15 July

If Anna can swim the Atlantic, they might as well give us the NC trophy when she hits the U.S. shore. Of course, that’s ridiculous. Not even Anna...I think.

An update from this week...

“Students traveling from the Schengen Area, the UK, and Ireland with valid F-1 and M-1 visas do not need to contact an embassy or consulate to seek an individual national interest exception to travel.”

Does this mean Anna could be on her way soon?

Sounds like the logjam has broken, Now the only challenge will be booking a seat on the handful of flights heading to the US.

Great news to be sure. This story broke on Tuesday. Today is Saturday. I haven’t read that they have arrived on campus. I assume when they do, it will be reported here. They can’t get here soon enough.

I thought I recall July 26 as the date the team itself comes back on campus? Has this been pushed back?
