Jana ahead of the curve after arriving early at UConn

[HuskyNan]

WHEN will the season get here already?

 

[Bone Dog]

I have high hopes for Jana. I like the way she moves.

As I’ve pointed out before, Jana is a “Coach’s kid!”

Lou's rehab must be going dynamite!

Any hi lights that can be shared to non subscribers?

If she can rebound and score in the posy, she will be a much-needed upgrade and counter to all the teams we play with bigs that have dominated us recently, and that inside presence will open up the game of our guards even more. I for one will have to see it first to believe because our recent bigs also had high scouting reports only not to live up to expectations either via injury or not being ready ala Amari, Piath, Ice, Ayanna...let's just hope for the best and not get all hyped.....Yet!!!

OK Rocky, you lost me. What does Lou's rehab have to do with Jana's development? Based on the reports we're getting, it looks like Geno finally hit the jackpot in recruiting post players with the last two classes. I'm expecting (hoping) that one of our 3 post players will "hit" this coming season. With Amari's back problems fixed, it's very possible we'll have 3 potent and very capable posts players this year, able to rotate in and keep a fresh body in the paint at all times. I like the reports we're getting about Jana and Ice.

Does anyone have any information about the 4 exhibition games in August, if they will be recorded and made available to us? I don't want to hear about those games, I want to SEE those games.

Poor Dorka, forgotten already

Here is something from a few years ago. She was a 6-3 guard! Yes, she can shoot from the outside

 

[HuskyNan]

Fast forward past the first 11 minutes. Jana is #8 in red, the one drawing all the attention. This is the African U18 championship game from August 2022

I like that Jana passes out of double teams instead of forcing a bad shot up

That is Lou making the cut off Jana's screen is it not. Just a little joke. I doubt I lost you.

Swerve. I believe that this is the first time that I have seen Caroline wearing eye glasses.

Awesome interview, and she’s only 14 here! You can see that she had handles and an outside shot. Her release point here is not high enough. But she’s already adjusted that.

Alas I get the "video not available." You in Africa Nan?

You had me looking up "posy". May be time for a nap.

It’s YouTube. I’m not sure why you don’t have access

 

[Forego]

Or, it might be the same referee team that was assigned to all of the South Carolina games for the past several seasons.

This is

This is a must-read!! The best piece on El Alfy to date.

I was thinking the same thing but since that was about 4 years ago, maybe shes learned not to push the ball but to shoot it at the high point.

Yes, but I assume this is an old "file photo." As you know, Lou is currently rehabbing an injury with the Dallas Wings. I also assume she's doing so in Dallas under the care and supervision of the Wings' medical staff. To be honest, I didn't pay any attention to Lou being in that photo. I focused on Jana. If I'm in error in my assumptions, please correct me.

Love her spirit, drive, intensity, and she seems like one great kid...can't wait to see her play in a UCONN uniform - I'm guessing she is going to get very meaningful minutes. And she is a legit 6'5" now...? I think we may have reeled in a keeper here.
