Jaden Newman wants to play for "Connecticut" and be just like Diana Taurasi

[NYCHUSKIES]

Shan, is that you??

 

[John Glass]

it might be a little early to say she is UConn pedigree

 

[Zorro]

I think she has a great shot at it.

 

[HGN]

She's got about 9 more years to 'Hold That Thought'.

 

[VAMike23]

I think she has a great shot at it.

But but but...her 3PT shot is a "push" shot for sure...!

 

[cohenzone]

3 variables:

1. Will she grow up to be that good 2. Will UConn still be a place great players want to go to
3. Most importantly for me, will I be alive to care in 9 years.

Every girl or young woman who plays basketball should dream about playing for UConn in college and should accept an offer from Geno if granted. JMO...

If she were on the team now , at 4'7" she would look up to the "tall" Moriah Jefferson . Who knows, she may grow into a Jefferson or a Sue Bird. I wish her luck.

 

[Blue Huskie]

It's nice to know our program and women continue to be fine role models and goals for young people.

Geno will be retired before shes comes to UCONN in 8 or 9 years. .Or, maybe, not

 

[DobbsRover2]

Shan, is that you??

It's just deja vu all over again. But since she's only 9 we can double the threads to get her to 18 and a starring role on the Huskies.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Geno will be retired before shes comes to UCONN in 8 or 9 years. .Or, maybe, not

Geno will retire when he reaches 11 championships and 1100 wins, which should take about 7 more years.

 

[wire chief]

Just like the lady of shady lane, who was also "9", and attracted lots of attention.

Mini Chick won't be 4 until July and just started playing basketball (was supposed to back in November but someone screwed up) and tells me on a regular basis that she can't wait to grow up to be big and strong. When asked why, she says that it's "So I can Go Huskies!"
