Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3446680, member: 26"] The whole article is great to read - but these 3 paragraphs REALLY stood out to me, and is an incredible testament to how the UCONN staff operates and how they work with and treat their players. I was going to bold some of my favorite comments in the paragraphs, but really, the entire thing is incredible. I just love this kid and hope she has an amazing career after college. I'd love to see her get into coaching if that's her passion - it's amazing what an impact the coaching staff has had on her, and apparently, on every kid who's ever come thru the program. “[I]CD is the most friendly, loving, nurturing teacher and coach. She’s honestly a great coach,” Adebayo said. “She makes sure you understand and get something and same thing with Coach Auriemma. He really tries to make sure you understand and learn. He wants the best for you and Coach Shea [Ralph] and Coach Jamelle [Elliot], everyone’s so nurturing and loving.” Statistically, this has been Adebayo’s worst year. She’s averaging just 5.8 minutes per game and has recorded just 15 points and 29 rebounds total. It would’ve been easy for the former First Team All-OVC selection to get down on herself. Instead, Adebayo spent the entire conversation with an impossibly wide smile on her face while talking about her time with the Huskies. “The whole environment, atmosphere is amazing. It’s just different. You won’t ever get this anywhere else, the whole culture and everything,” she said. “Honestly, this year, no matter what, I think this might’ve been my best year ever. I really loved this year because I really learned so much as a player and a person[/I].” [/QUOTE]
