Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4092399, member: 10435"] We will probably never know what the motivating factor(s) was and it really doesn't matter. UCONN ain't for everyone. It takes a lot to put up with it, to thrive in it and to grow in it. Geno ain't for everyone either. There he is before the Ft. Hays game throwing shade on the defensive abilities of his returning POY. Who does that? For those who get through it though, they become metamorphosed into very confident, self aware, and fearless young women even if they were not stars here and many reach a potential in the sport and beyond that was likely unthinkable to them. I mean really, is Carla Berube Carla Berube without UCONN? What about Treasurer Maria Conlon? There are many even better examples and as you know the list is very long. I don't believe in those kinds of coincidences. One of the reasons the players are so endearing to us ( we all have our favorites now, don't we?) is because we get to see them suffer, so to speak, (Nika last year comes to mind) and still be unselfish and devote themselves to the greater good of the team. It's obviously highly contagious because it spreads to all of them it seems every year and with it I believe comes this ridiculous poise at so young an age and this shared confidence and sisterhood which is just plain commendable.
