It's official - Blanca Quiñonez signed

[Geew1992]

I am SHOCKED to learn that Blanca visited Storrs last week for the first time, likely attending the game vs Butler at XL, and none of our BY super-sleuths picked up on it…….

It was posted here somewhere

More important than Sarah? I realize that Blanca appears to be more athletic, but Sarah is a better shooter and may read the game better. And then there are intangibles (including coachability, adaptability, grace under pressure) that cannot be discerned by watching highlight videos or even selective whole game footage.

Time will tell. But from the standpoint of athleticism, Blanca gets the nod.

As a freshman next season, if this kid turns out to be anything close to what SS has been for us this year … what a huge addition she will be! Sincerely hope so!!!

Sarah made it look so easy a lot of times that we don't think she is athletic.

For what it's worth (this is almost certain to be ignored…) her
official and ordinary name is Blanca Quiñónez.
It is not Quiñonez.


In her Ecuatorian Spanish, the pronunciation is close to

Keen YONE ace.

Thank you, but I am still trying to remember to say Jacquie Fernandes and not Fernandez. Even my spell checker changes it to Fernandez. I intend to refer to the newest Husky as Blanca.

I’m glad others think she’s 6’2” too. That’s what the photos suggest to me. But in the Campobasso highlights videos she’s looks a bit smaller, closer to Sara Scalia’s size. I guess it’s really hard to judge height from videos. It’s a good thing she towers over Geno at least.
