Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3213685, member: 250"] Evelyn hopes to play pro ball and knows there is a distance to travel to make that happen. She's working to get into "UConn shape" and has every motivation to try, try, try. “If I give them everything that I have every day I feel I can contribute. I know what I can bring to the team and I’m going to do all I can to help them. I believe the way I play will help them.” Articulate, poised, mature. Evelyn knows she has received a gift of opportunity. I doubt she'll throw it away. “I spoke to the coaches and I had great conversations about my goals and what I wanted,” Adebayo said. “They invited me here for a visit. I met the team and coaches and I loved the environment, the area. Everything felt right. “It’s a dream to be here. To end up at UConn. … I can’t explain how it all happened but they wanted me here for a reason. For me, this decision was a no-brainer. It just felt so natural and perfect. Deciding to come here was the perfect choice for me.” [URL="https://www.journalinquirer.com/sports/not-racing-away/article_824b8648-a3cf-11e9-ab75-5bf96beea1fe.html"]Not racing away[/URL] [/QUOTE]
