Getting to know recent UConn women’s basketball commit Aaliyah Edwards, a Candace Parker-esque Canadian prospect

[MilfordHusky]

The revisions to the article are interesting. Having Candace Parker-like skills is actually commendable. Her level of effort and attitude, however, are not things to emulate. Follow Kia Nurse in those regards.

Players are now referring to Geno as "Coach Geno" or even "Geno." It used to be "Coach" or "Coach Auriemma."

Geno has ascended to one-name elite status (Pelé, Madonna, et al).

Oh boy! That comparison is going to go over well on this board.

Yeah, I was thinking, let's hope they're talking talent rather than attitude.

Good pick up. Do you think this started with other coaches, players from other teams, or did this start on campus?

I think it started with the 2020 recruits. "Coach Geno" may be the result of inability to pronounce "Auriemma."

Any other WCBB coaches that are being referred to by their players (some times) through their first names?

Can someone please paraphrase for the ones who don’t have the courant subscription?

I got an email avertisement for the Hartford Courant today. They are offering 20 weeks of digital subscription service for $2.00. Ten cents a week and it gets you through the basketball season. Seems affordable for everyone.

Didn't Jamie Nared upon meeting Geno at a USA training camp refer to him as Coach Geno or Geno after she graduated? The interview where she called him "dope" or something?

Really excited to see this young lady suit up for UCONN. After watching her play for Team Canada and score 9 points in a loss to Team USA against professional players (as a 17 year old high schooler), I became an even bigger fan. SO happy she chose UCONN!!!

I subscribed for over 20 years. I cancelled when they fired their Yankee and NY Giant reporters but kept the Red Sox & Patriot writers.

Dispassionately, Parker is a great player. Trying to be objective here!

IDK. I have two personal rules of which the last is most applicable. 1) I never tell people how to raise their kids. 2) I never tell people how to manage their hatred of all things TN including the color orange.

That's a good try I'd give you an A for effort.

Gasp. The Courant has more ads than a NASCAR car. Trying to read an article on that site requires the skills of an archaeologist.

The picture above shows that she is totally built to play basketball but i would prefer that she could touch the back of her sneaker without picking her foot up.
