Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3651580, member: 250"] Nice article sandwiched into SC's Weekly Bulletin. Gotta scroll down a bit: [URL unfurl="true"]https://uconnwbbweekly.substack.com/p/how-uconns-past-is-helping-them-recruit?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxMjQ2NjAyNiwicG9zdF9pZCI6ODY1MTY0LCJfIjoiWnYvWUgiLCJpYXQiOjE1OTc5MjQ5NTYsImV4cCI6MTU5NzkyODU1NiwiaXNzIjoicHViLTU5ODM4Iiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.yyVIjEYNKWS4nqBKPjnT7W943J_coZyMk-mTVDkc5I8[/URL] For example: "Meanwhile, Gabriel’s athletic director at Bradford Christian Academy was Scott Hazelton, who played for UConn men’s basketball from 2000-03 before finishing his career at URI. When the Huskies were recruiting Gabriel, Hazelton helped Auriemma and his staff with their pitch. “During the recruiting process, he told me I was going to love it,” Gabriel said. “After I committed, he told me I’m going to love it.” ****************************************************** "Aaliyah Edwards has a little bit of both. She’s got the fan aspect — Edwards cited “all the UConn players” as her favorite women’s basketball players — but she also played with Kia Nurse on the Canadian national team and suited up for Kia Nurse Elite on the AAU circuit. “We played on the senior women’s national team together,” Edwards said. “We were able to communicate then and also via text. It’s great to have a former Canadian to reach out to as a mentor and as a teammate just to inspire me.” [/QUOTE]
