Gabby, oh Gabby (episode 3)

[augustaTC]

I admit to being a huge Gabby BB fan, but after watching MTM Episode 3 I'm even more impressed with her as a young woman. She comes across as such a thoughtful, mature, deep person. If memory serves, Geno has said she's intellectually very aware & involved in what goes on outside of BB and I think we saw a little bit of that. She's going to go far in life no matter what path she chooses.

My thoughts exactly. We know that Gabby is incredibly versatile on the basketball court, but HBO has highlighted Gabby's versatility off the court as well.

She can cook and she is obviously very knowledgeable about music. I love her comment about preferring albums over playlists, "albums are the way that artists want you to listen to their music." She then goes on to chide her generation for listening to playlists, "kids today."

Gabby's parents raised a remarkable young lady.

I said it before but I will say again, Gabby is the core of this team. There's NO WAY in hell we can beat SC and ND without her.

True but may not beat them without Phessa or Lou.

It's debatable and we will never know.

Correction. Hopefully we will never know!

We need all seven.

The feeling I so often get about these young ladies is that I'd be very proud if I could call them part of my family. What's not to like? Intelligence, charm, and general sweetness, but with a Marine's combat mentality and a maturity that belies their years. It's often said here on the BY that UConn isn't for everybody. But it should be. This, friends, is what setting the bar high is really about: Who you've been, who you are, and who you can become. I love it.

It must be kismet: two days ago, Fine Cooking magazine included two different takes on Shrimp & Grits-- something that speaks to her culinary tastes.

I'd love to throw a cook out party for the team and the die hard Boneyarders.

Jim Fuller's piece on Gabby from late last year is worth reading/rereading

I loved hearing collier talk about getting her makeup done for the photo shoot for espn. You can tell she's trying to get used to being a superstar with all the attention she is starting to get. KLS and kia are already comfortable in that roll.

I have loved Gabby from day 1. I knew she was special from the first time she stepped on the court. Gabby is a baller, cook, model, care giver, outstanding teammate and overall beautiful person.

Not debatable. This is a TEAM. They are all needed to win the NCAA.

Gabby had me with her Marley poster on her wall and I do love her vinyl love. Old, deep soul. No Gabs, we need 4 of these 6 to be supercharged Gabby style!

That's why Gabby likes to cook, so she can, "Stir it up..........."

Absolute!!! These FIVE players mesh like none... and add the contributions of Danger and Nat... it makes them just a TEAM that's great to watch. Take one piece away and who knows???

 

[YellwJcket999]

True but may not beat them without Phessa or Lou.

Every player is needed this year. We don't win FLSt without Napheesa. We don't win Baylor without Dangerfield. We don't win South Carolina /MD without Gabby.

And why are we surprised? Geno recruits the complete package. Yes they can "ball" with the best of them, that's a given. But they are also great people.

Shrimp & grits, vinyl and its all good.

And this is a TEAM. Each one depends on the other and they believe in each other. They believe that if a rebound is needed, someone will get it. When a basket is needed, someone will get it. When a defensive stop is needed, it will happen. A very difficult team to defeat.

When Geno is asked 'how much longer' type questions, one of the thoughts I always have is: How could he walk away from these women, exile them from his daily routine?!
I mean, the alarm clock goes off at 6:00AM on a dark and cold winter's morning, and I can't imagine the first thought could ever be 'Oh, God, I have to spend three hours today dealing with Lou and Law, Pheesa and Gabby, Kia and Nat, Chong and Kyla, Molly and Danger!' Just not going to ever enter someone's mind.
I know that actually doing that three hours of dealing with them and all the other things that go into coaching aren't always filled with lightness and joy, but ... it sure beats the heck out of most alternative choices. And it isn't just the players - spending 6+ hours interacting with CD, Shea, and Marisa sounds like something other than extreme hardship!

I wish there was an easy way to do it. I had to join HBO Now (tied into my Roku box) to get it. Fortunately they have a "sign-up for $9.95/mo and get first month free" deal.....just have to remember to cancel before the billing starts, but it should carry me through the NCAA's nicely! Actually glad I found it as I can grab HBO Now again when Game of Thrones starts. Sorry I can't be more helpful as it really is a great series on the Huskies.

I see what you did.
