Husky Practice

[Stymie]

Impossible to ascertain from stills, but it looks like Aubrey is in full participation.
MUY BUENO.

 

[GEAinAustin]

Yes, in other videos Aubrey has been in full participation.

I just checked on the web the weight of the Barbell Bar ( separate piece ). For
a quality Bar the weight is either 15 kg = 33 pounds or 20 kg = 44 pounds.
So , since the plates that the team were using were designated "LBS" , the
weight that Nika was using in the first section was 35 x 2 + 44? = 114 lbs?
the weight that Lou Lopez was using ( or was it Azzi?) was 45 X 2 + 44 = 134 lbs?
and the weight that Yanna was "toying with" was 45 X 2 + 25 X 2 + 44 = 184 lbs?
I could not calculate the last Yanna lift because the added plate did not show the
"tonnage" clearly. I could not do that! P.S. Aaliyah's total was 114 in one scene.
Azzi and Lou Lopez appear to be strong! Of course, no scenes of Aubrey, Paige, or
Ines. Summary : some opponents should be thinking twice before "going to
the mat" with UCONN in a tag team contest. I'll team up with YANNA! Go Huskies!

I believe there are discs on each end that lock the weight plates to the bar. That weight should be added (10 lbs x2?) to the total weight

Do you have any recent practice videos

 

[AmeriConn]

Do you have any recent practice videos

No. Just the recent workout video. As soon as the next practice video is available, I will post it.

 

[Longtime fan]

Not sure, can they call them drills?

I think they are calling it, officially: " physics 101."

 

[RoadMaster]

"Thinking" (not a strong point, at times) that this is fairly new..

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou is a bucket!

 

[AmeriConn]

RoadMaster just posted the latest practice video called “putting in the work”.

 

[Carnac]

5 things I want from Amari DeBerry and Ice Brady this year......
1. Raise some eyebrows with their play.
2. Put some smiles on our faces with their play.
3. Make UConn fans nod in appreciation of their play/efforts during their games.
4. Stuff the stat lines in the box scores every game.
5. Be consistent all year. No magic tricks.

I could watch those practice videos all day. Too bad they aren't longer in duration.

 

[Carnac]

Lou is a bucket!

THAT is precisely why she's going to get lots of playing time this year. Every year Geno says to his players.........."Give me a reason to play you, or a reason to keep you on the bench." Lou is making her case NOW to play and be on the floor.

 

[eebmg]

Lou is a bucket!

Yes, and she is practicing walking crane style.

 

[eebmg]

Also noticing Aubrey is practicing with the guard group. Big smiles.

Sorry about that glitch. So on its face we are clearly outside the 42 day window because the first regular season game is November 10 against Northeastern. Exhibition games don't count. So 42 days backwards from November 10 is September 30. It just didn't make sense because that doesn't look like team conditioning or strengthening activities but more like skill drills. So I looked back and found some discussion, that did not cite a specific rule, that the coaching staff is allowed 2-3 weeks of skill instruction prior to the beginning of the official practice date. Either that rule still applies, or basketball activities directed to endurance , even if skill in nature, are within the intendment of the above rule.

 

[Alydar]

So how exactly is this legal before mid-October? I thought individual skills work was OK in September, but not coordinated team practices with the coaches present. What exactly is this?

It's legal.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou will be on Team France with Gabby in 2 years.

 

[AmeriConn]

 

[Alydar]

Just keep workin

 

[eebmg]

Ayanna again at the head of the class.

 

[Alydar]

I wouldn't be surprised if Geno has the 1st period of the title game playing on a loop in the weight room.

 

[Carnac]

Put that hard work in the weight room NOW ladies. I will pay off throughout the season.

 

[Carnac]

I wouldn't be surprised if Geno has the 1st period of the title game playing on a loop in the weight room.

Whatever motivates them to work hard and be ready the next time they see South Carolina. You can bet SC will be ready for them!!

 

[Stymie]

Amari looks much, much leaner.

 

[donalddoowop]

Whatever motivates them to work hard and be ready the next time they see South Carolina. You can bet SC will be ready for them!!

Maybe, but SC is not their only threat. There should not be too much preoccupation with SC. It was not Boston that hurt UConn the most last season. Their little guard is no longer there. She hurt UConn the most and with their OOC schedule, UConn has a lot more to think about than SC.
