Actually, the big sport is Leopard Seal fishing with a wet suit and 2 6 inch daggers. Nurse has 14 kills in the last 3 seasons.
That's good news for the Atlantic salmon!!! They eat their weight in fish daily! Go Kia!

I was at the game. Gabby played sparingly especially in the second half. Her game reminds me a little of Maya of maya as she can do it all. She jumped center, played pg, played center and absolutely outclassed anyone on the floor. It would be fun to see her against better opponents and see how she looks. They so outclassed Wooster that it looked like a high school team playing a an elementary school. In any event, you can tell she's an amazing athlete and will definitely get serious minutes at UCONN at some point. Cute girl too.

Ps. She looks to have a pretty big tattoo on her left shoulder/back. Doesn't geno make the girls cover up tats?
Interesting about the tattoo- thought they were Taboo?

its weird that they would get tats in HS... most are under 18yrs old so the parents would have to approve this.

She must have gotten that tat AFTER she signed her LOI. I can't believe Geno or any of the coaches would have offered if they had seen a tat while scouting her.

Wonder how the coaches will handle this. Sounds like the band-aid approach won't work. Maybe a lot of KT tape.... :)

Maybe a t-shirt underneath, a la Patrick Ewing?

Doesn't Uconn/Geno also have a rule about players wearing number 1?

boys are a lil different from girls... parents don't mind their boys to look hardcore. men coaches don't give a * cause they just want a great athlete. on the girls side you can be a lil more selective. I like the players and parents that didn't fall for the "its the culture" thing. thanks for link, interesting

I can't imagine that Shea Ralph (ankle tat) would have any difficulty conveying an offer to Gabby. And I have to believe that Geno and CD will welcome Shea's advice as to how to deal with Gabby''s tat and get her on the court.

Play ball!

Neither of my 2 sons have tats. And they look at me like I'm nuts if I ask if they ever would. However, my daughter has a couple. Go figure? My two step sons both have one.

Hmm.........Thats a good idea VA Mike. Because I am sure Geno and staff don't want to start the tat thing.

Kib, a small ankle tat (which can be covered with socks or sneakers) is different than a visible back or shoulder tat. Geno may want to think whether to open Pandora's box. Because it could go from shoulders, to back , to full arms...etc.
Where does it stop?

It's going to be interesting to see how this is handled.

Maybe she just got one of those 'temporary' type tat's that can be removed.

Geno has already said that the world has changed regarding tattoos.

Nope. They were all old enough to do it on their own. Well one step kid was younger (16), but that was before me....and he got it done in another country. (and it wasn't very good - luckily for him it was pretty small)

From the images I've seen, the tattoo is more on her back and moves toward her shoulder. I imagine her jersey will probably cover most of it. Any visible portions can be covered with tape or makeup if needed.

Keep in mind, UConn only has these players for four years. These players can end up spending more time playing basketball in a place (e.g. - WNBA or overseas) that allows tattoos.

Is it really big deal or are some of you all joking? Saniya Chong doesn't cover her tattoo at all.

Yes, it has been a clear and hard policy in the past that players have no visible tattoos. Saniya's is recognized as a different issue remembering her brother.

In the past (to this point at least) it has been a big enough deal, at least for CD. Saniya's tat is a special case re: her brother. Geno has talked about it and they don't regard it the same way that they otherwise might have. It's a non-issue.

I doubt that Geno will want to start the t-shirt thing, either.

There is such a thing as "evolving" views about social issues, or haven't you noticed the increasing acceptance of single-sex marriage, legal use of marijuana, gays in the military, and so on (including tats on other than sailors)?

I believe that Geno is smart enough to "evolve" and get this girl on the court in a UConn uniform (no name on the back).
