STORRS — If freshman Kamorea "KK" Arnold needed any advice as she navigated her first weeks as a member of the UConn women's basketball team, she didn't have to travel far. Her roommates for the summer session, which wraps up on Friday, were two of the older and more experienced Huskies — redshirt senior forward Aubrey Griffin and redshirt junior guard Paige Bueckers.

Thanks for sharing with us. KK has that vibe about her that makes her so special. She is confident and is going to be a huge factor. I can't wait for the season to start!!

If she gets her name on the wall then we are in for 4 great years and possibly a few NC's .. I've seen her play and she's a lot like Kyrie Irving in the way she handles the rock, especially her crossover, which is a killa, and she has excellent court vision as well yes she is very aggressive in that she loves to attack the rim now, if she develops a more consistent mid-range jump shot and can shoot at least 35% from 3's then no doubt she will be on that wall

That’s great..just pray that she fits in, and there Is no fighting for who’s the better player, as that could lead to the transfer portal mutiny.

I think of her as Little Mo… even though she’s probably a few inches taller.

The more I read about her, the more I see some Rene Montgomery in her. That’s not a bad thing.

I'll bet KK is a pleasure to be around. She's always upbeat and smiling.

I can’t be the only one getting Renee Montgomery vibes from everything I hear/see about KK, right?
