Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3616386, member: 7548"] Small (positive?) blurb about our international player status [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/hc-sp-uconn-athletics-international-students-20200715-20200719-6w4ae5pddvd3tcgqvdcwwcomq4-story.html[/URL] The women’s basketball team is scheduled to arrive in Storrs on July 26, but it may take longer to bring in sophomore Anna Makurat, who is from Poland, and incoming freshmen Nika Muhl of Croatia and Aaliyah Edwards of Canada. Coach Geno Auriemma said in early July that UConn is consulting with the state’s congressional delegation about how it may be able to ameliorate the situation all international students are facing. “You would think something is as simple as going to the Canadian border and drive across,” Auriemma said. “Those days are over. Nika needs to fly over from Zagreb, but the U.S. Embassy hasn’t been open, so getting a visa has become a real problem. They’re not letting international flights coming into the U.S. except for citizens of the United States, so Anna is not going to have an easy time.” [B]Auriemma Told the Courant last week that they are making “great progress” and that he’s confident the trio can arrive soon.[/B] Anyone know more about this hopeful quote?
