I Think It's A Little Jinxy

[ec33]

Why does UCONN need Heckel? We have several real good guards. UCONN needs Williams and only Williams.

How many PGs with college experience? One.
How many PGs has UConn been playing at one time the last few years? Two or three much of the time.
What was the problem when UConn failed to make the Final Four? Lack of ball handling under pressure (even if they were guards).
What happens when the one true PG with experience wants to test? I am hoping we won't have to find out or be forced to rely on a freshman to outperform her recruiting ranking (even if I think there is a fair chance that she does, it isn't something I want to bet a national title on).

Yeah, I saw one too. Did yours claim she had committed to UConn? Mine did. Why people do that nonsense is beyond me.

Yes, the article I saw said she had committed to UCONN...( I didn't include that because of the thread talking about "jinxy stuff")...

The exact same question was raised last year relative to Kaitlyn Chen, and she proved to be a key contributor to the national championship as a pg, leader and with her all-around play.

I do believe Kaitlin arrived at UCONN a far more skilled and polished player

I think Geno is using the portal in a wise manner, filling the most urgent need and having trust that the players he has recruited will fulfill their rolls.

 

[uh-no]

I don't know why anyone thinks she would want to be part of the Notre Dame backcourt; if it was a tolerable job, Miles would not have abandoned it.

Reminds me of the airplane scene where the lady asks for some light reading:

"oh yes, we have this pamphlet on ND women's backcourt playbook"
"play 1: pass the ball to hannah hidalgo"

Of course Kaitlyn was more polished. She was a grad student. Heckel is going into her sophomore season and she has a huge upside.

It’s Friday, May 16 and UConn Nation has only one question:

What in the world is Kayleigh Heckel up to today?

Her official announcement may become obvious when she shows up for Summer School, at ND, UCONN, or USC.

Her secret has a shelf life of at most two more weeks.

For the record, Summer Session 1 starts June 2-July 3 (5 weeks). Gosh I hope we hear before then….

For those of you that can remember, I thought the following excerpt of lyrics from a 1965 record by the Kinks would be apt:

It’s your life
And you can what you want
Do what you like
But please don’t keep-a me waiting
Please don’t keep-a me waiting

Cause I’m so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
So tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you

Good to know

Bottom line: She loves Uconn and she comes or she goes somewhere else. If she goes somewhere else, it means she really doesn't want to be here, so good that she doesn't come.

Of course we want her to do so, but it isnt all bad if a player doesn't come. It probably means she doesn't want to really be here anyway....and that is ok and may save the team from a player transferring a year or so later. I remember the girl that transferred to kentucky her freshman year. It would have been better if she never came to uconn.

Heckel is a very good player and I think will help us big time. GA loves guards and over the last 30 years has changed my mind about what you really need to win. Bigs are great and they certainly help, but guards and more guards...they control the game and feed the bigs and can impact the game in so many ways, so I am on board with as many guards as GA wants.

 

[Lambeau]

Backup at point guard cannot be bad considering our recent injury story.
And KK may even be best in last years role--two points worked quite well.

 

[Centerstream]

I'll post it again...we will find out on Sunday, my birthday.

Seems like Kayleigh and KK really bonded at Kelsey Plumbs Dawg Camp. Attached is from Kayleigh’s Instagram stories this week. Hopefully KK being Kayleigh’s “fav” will bode well for Uconn.
