First Team Workout in the Books

[#12in21]

freshman year, if it was a pony tail it was Nika (until Saylor showed up) ... now there are several options. Didn't we have a thread that once it diverged to discussing hairstyles it got locked a couple years back? The beauty of it is that it could be any number of our players as they are all in such great condition. This is going to be a great season!

i think its miss scarlet in the conservatory with a lead pipe.

Mustard in the Kitchen with the knife! I never trusted Ms. Scarlet, but she
was innocent this time!

I don’t ever recall seeing a player’s jersey that wet. It must be true that the practices are a lot harder than the games.

Ines had some definition to her arms last year so I would lean toward her. The hair matches, skin tone is about the same so the only question is how tall is this person. Is the person to her right KK which would be a shorter player it would have to be Ines or a guest at practice lol

Maybe Geno's cranking up the heat in the gym?

 

[Patrick Lilly]

My guess is Jana and Quadence, Jamelle has the black watch on

Encouragement..

For non-Instagram people.

I love Jana giving the male practice player an elbow as she drove by him. Geno has said she “plays with an edge to her”. And KK’s crossover move! Wowza! Gonna see some ankle breakers this coming season

... and, Early Paige to Ice assist.. Some nice, early-on encouragement!

Check the thumbnail. No nail polish. Caroline was wearing white nail polish today.

Yikes. I know this is the offseason, but this is getting weird.

And yet, somehow you felt inclined to participate in the thread....

Encouragement..

I love to see Nika's little sly grin at the very end. She does like playing basketball, especially at UCONN

 

[CL82]

KK’s crossover move! Wowza!

Dribble left, hesitate, change of speed and direction burst to the basket. Perfect. I smiled at that as well. Of course the biggest smiles or reserved for watching Paige play basketball again. She had a nice hesitation move as well!

 

[Zinethar]

I sometimes wonder how long it takes the freshmen each year to realize they are not in Kansas anymore! They were big fish coming to UConn and now the pond get way bigger

 

[Bald Husky]

Should be a poll. Will Nika smile or scare us with her team picture this year? She cracks me up.

 

[Charliebball]

Wow.........a healthy and happy UConn basketball team...........what a wonderful sight to behold...........may the basketball gods finally allow UConn an injury-free season to make up for all of their recent struggles.......

Is this Nika? Man, someone's been hitting the weights!

Could it be Ines?

 

[Amashutcha]

I miss watching Paige play so much.

Thank you Nan

 

[FormerCTrez]

This picture looks like Qadence is deep in thoughts. Like, “What did I get myself into?”

 

[FormerCTrez]

Maybe Geno's cranking up the heat in the gym?

Both literally and figuratively!!

Me likey KK!

 

[Bone Dog]

They look good here, especially Jana driving the lane, and Ice with a midrange jumper, and KK with that deadly crossover.

 

[pspr11]

Can’t wait till the season!

 

[Carnac]

I would love to see a similar video of much longer length. We want to see a longer view of each player . These 1-minute videos are a tease.

 

[MooseJaw]

What Carnac said.

 

[Huskee11]

Great to see that Paige and Ice are participating in the scrimmage, I actually was not expecting that.

Aubrey, Azzi and Caroline as well, though that was expected.

Yikes, KK faked that practice player out of camera range. I heard that he asked that the tape be destroyed.

Love the June practice sessions. Get everybody (almost) together, very little pressure, first year players starting to fit in, time for improvement and optimism.

I am looking for someone to jump out and make a statement here. Last season, it was Lou. Who will it be this June? I`m going to go with KK but don`t sleep on Qadence.

I also agree that longer videos would be much appreciated!

Nika seems to have been the only one sweating ... a hard night drinking or just Nika hard? On KK's crossover, in other films it seems like she gets closer than most before her move comes out, making the chance of defender recovery slim indeed. Jana, I like her game face. Like it a lot. Caroline so happy, rejuvenated.
