I thought that Christyn stressed the individual accomplishments over team goals in her event today, but Geno is comfortable with her, so I'm not worried. Coach has noted the need to be selfish (improve as a player) and unselfish (play with team goals) at the same time. I'm confident that Christyn will fit into the culture. A year ago, I was a little concerned that Meg was too focused on herself, but there have been no signs of that at all since she arrived on campus. She seems to be a great teammate and very hard worker. The point is that Christyn (or anyone) will become legendary by BOTH winning lots of games and championships and becoming a superlative player.Although I thought I hear she said something along the line "winning championship is nice but my goal is to be legendary" (not an exact quote). That's more like something D.Deshields would have said and the BY would have been all over her for it

Actually, according to the ESPNW interview,
No. 1 prospect Christyn Williams signs with Connecticut Huskies
the word legendary did not come from her, Geno had put it in her head.
"He said I had the potential to be legendary," Williams said. "Obviously, Coach A knows what he's doing. Look at everything they've done. I want to be a part of it, too. I want to be legendary one day."
Very cool that she took it to heart and saw herself that way.

She said it and there is nothing wrong with it, whether Geno put it in her ear or it was already there.
But what few people knew about Williams is that Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma won her over basically at "hello." Their first conversation, when she was a freshman in 2015, changed everything.

No. 1 prospect Christyn Williams has already shown the ability to take over games at the high school and international level.
"He said I had the potential to be legendary," Williams said. "Obviously, Coach A knows what he's doing. Look at everything they've done. I want to be a part of it, too. I want to be legendary one day."
Christyn played with Crystal and Meg in Italy this summer, while Geno watched. Christyn is also very close with Lexi. I think she was a UConn lean for the past 2 years or so.
Yup...
Yep. CW reminds me of Tiff, maybe because of the strong southern accent. How many have come from the south? Tiff, Mo, Lexi, CW, Crystal Dangerfield, Kalana, Shea, who else?
