Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 3904090, member: 7171"] It is very refreshing to hear Nika and, for that matter, all of these terrific young UConn women talk because they seem so comfortable in their own skin. Very interesting comments by her, not cookie-cutter stuff at all. Nika seems thoughtful and self-aware but in a very good sense, not narcissistic. Confident but aware that she has a long ways to go. Goal oriented. Geno will go on and on about how these young players flummox him, but he did not get where he is without being able to size up his players. We now know of at least two incidents where he really let Nika have it, and a weaker personality would have folded like a cheap suit and disappeared, either back to Croatia or to the end of the bench. He must have known that she was the type to fight back with all that she has to prove him wrong. She did, and she has. [/QUOTE]
