Great picture of Lou, Azura and Napheesa...

Where's Gabby? Nurse, eh, not so much.

Yes I like Kia alot, but she is not as talented as those three plus Gabby.

So 4 serious potential All Americans at UConn this year, WOW!

Don't be surprised if Nurse's play this year makes her a serious candidate for AA. If she picks up where she left off last season, well?????

Not a chance. Barring the unforeseen, I expect her playing time is going to be cut considerably.

While it may not get her on an AA team, I expect Kia to lead the nation in 3 pt shooting as other teams will be overwhelmed trying to defend Z, Lou, Pheesa & Gabby, leaving Kia alone at the arc to bury 3-pt shots.

Lead the nation in 3 pt. shooting? LOL

I sense some skepticism. If I told you before the tournament last season that Kia would set the all-time NCAA record for 3-pt field goals made shooting an incredible 22-32 in only 5 games, you probably would have been skeptical about that prediction too.

Kia was 5th in the nation last year, at .462. Darby Maggard of Belmont led the nation at .487, slightly higher than Karlie Samuelson's .485. Leading the nation is certainly possible.

Maybe, IF Dangerfield learns how to play defense and think a little more when she has the ball in her hands. We'll see.

I hope you get to eat a big slice, but it is Kiah's position that has some obvious heat on it. She has been the rock however.

In addition to all her of numerous talents and abilities, it appears that Gabby is also exceptionally good with animals.

That is one contented husky being tended to by Gabby. She even got him to look at the camera

 

[BigBird]

When her playing days are over, I hope Pheesa "does a Lobo" and lands on TV. She has all the requisite talents.

You mean the one who seems to hide from the lens?

Should be interesting. Kia is normally a sound defender, one of best on team. If not for her ankle injury last year, suspect Huskies would be National Champs. Unless one of the frosh can step up on defense, Kia will be needed to shut down the hot guard. Crystal still has some development to play this role.

They look svelte and ready to go.

Well put...Hard to explain, but I felt so relieved, and excited, when Kia showed up in Italy after flying all night and practically went right into a game. She brings a lot to any game - she fills whatever voids there may be that day. Whether she's an AA is irrelevant. She has an intangible presence that the team feeds on.

Not sure what the def of "considerably" is in this case, but pretty sure everyone's minutes will be less than last year. Thank goodness. Hope you aren't expecting Dangerfield to take her minutes. Doubt that.
