Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 2985110, member: 8636"] I’m sure there are posters here that know her life story, but I know a nugget or two. She was literally an Olympic caliber high jumper in middle school and high school, in addition to a basketball player. You can see a couple of her jumps on YouTube. And I also know about her knee injury in high school. I think Geno took a huge chance with her because she was coming off of that injury. I think that he didn’t know what to expect. Then when she got to UConn they had to find a position for her. She became a 4 and actually contributed as a freshman. I think a tribute to her and also the program. (We always talk about the youngsters not getting a chance to play and this is a bit of the opposite IMO- overcoming everything she had to overcome) I’m sure you’ll get the full story later. [/QUOTE]
