Lou is no longer the new kid on the block!

I brightened it up a bit.

There's decent height in that photo! No one under 5'9". Two players at 6'5". Guards at 6'0". Some players who play well above their listed height. Three dunkers in the mix.

We need to recall the spirit of Jennifer Rizzoti to help Nika in the backcourt. Rizzoti was the quintessential small point guard.......queen!

Need = I want.

In comparison to the others, Ines has her work cut out for her to catch up to the ridiculous fitness of the other women.

Probably true, but she has time. I don't think we'll need her for more than a few minutes at a time.

I suspect she’ll be inspired by living in the company of these amazing women!

Geno probably had the assistants grade each snowcone for quality and consistency.

She's 17. I've been to her island and they eat a lot of fish and they can grow vegetables all year. There wasn't a fast food outlet there 15 years ago so she's also had a healthier diet than most US kids. Bueckers reportedly lived on McNuggets and Chic Fillet.
She'll need conditioning but everyone does. I'm just hoping she has Mühl's fire.

Ines is still only 17 and never has been introduced to the state of the art conditioning she is about to begin. Have to credit this young lady for crossing an ocean to be part of the best of women's basketball.

Thanks Biff. This (for me) makes an excellent wallpaper picture for my computer.

I assume as part of her lifting regimen, she will be carrying all the equipment and laundry.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

They all look so happy!
I wish they can all stay healthy so they can show the world all that they're capable of!
If they can stay healthy they can accomplish anything!

A lot of talent too. IMHO, talent-wise, we can hold our own with anyone.

Aren’t those duties reserved for the freshmen on the team of which there are 3?

Maybe correct on lean muscle mass, but from the videos of team Portugal Ines has an excellent " motor",
motion without the ball, the speed and leaping ability to make steals, and also the speed to distance herself from the defenders on transition plays and 'run out ' passes for lay ups. I know UCONN does it
faster and more consistently, but I, for one, would not be surprised if Ines makes a very capable
( eventual ) transition ! Go Ines1 go Huskies! Also, remember that photo had the whole team in...
the weight room!

 

[Blakeon18]

These pictures just make you smile...toss in a laugh or two if you wish.
We are SO lucky.

If they didn't relish or seek pressure, they would not have come to UCONN !
