Huskies back on campus

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!

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.

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

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!

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

Not thinking about the other 2 who are physically ready to dominate

Really looking forward to this season, the only negative is Paige's absence. If all stay healthy we have great options and enough depth at all positions. The last two incoming classes have produced 2-3 players that saw big minutes their freshman seasons and there is no reason to believe that trend will stop. We have had great help from transfers in Evina and Dorka and now hopefully this season with Lou. Can't wait for November to see how this group has gelled. By seasons end they will be a fine tuned machine hitting on all eleven cyclinders. Feeling very Tony C. about what's to come !
 
12in21 , Hence my caption under the team picture! Tony C's abound right now .

The most encouraging thing about the picture is that we are only , for sure, losing two of the players and not only adding our incoming recruits but also a decent upper midwest player that I have heard some good things about, named something like Bueller or Becker !

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.

I think it's a longer trip for Brady. The Azores is a 6 hr flight from Boston. Did it.

well considering the last 2 guards that Uconn got eliminated by were quick would be a fair point.
