Jana El Alfy to UConn

[JordyG]

Shame that Geno can't recruit bigs anymore. Once again Geno shows how much he's slipping.

Jana is #8 in white. She had 34 points and 10 rebounds in this game.

Thanks for posting. Very entertaining and a few giggles in there. For 6-4, JEA definitely has some athleticism and offensive potential. However I suspect she's going to have a very interesting transition to the speed, intensity, and conditioning of the UConn program since she's not really acquainted with defense or sprinting yet. Seems like a fun, social kid so it'll be interesting to watch her development.

HUGE!!!!!!

Been posted previously but might as well again:

Much more energy here than the U18 game posted above. Kid's got skills.

Yeah. She's nice though, and a year of D1 play, some elite conditioning, while refining her box out game will work wonders. But yeah, some players never adjust to the pace of elite play.

Welcome, Jana El Alfy!!

Great News!

Steve Martin: She's an Egyptian!

You're thinking of The Bangle's song. Steve Martin was talking about King Tut. Funky Tut!

yes, she definitely needs to work on her strength and conditioning to be effective as a freshman.........labored a bit out there in that game although she did play a ton of minutes....

CONFIRMED: She can finish through contact. This game was more physical than an SEC contest!

WOW WOW WOW The Future is Bright. UConn has a great roster now....next season I dont see how we loose a game so long as we're healthy. Next season we just may have 5 AA's and POY and FOY (freshman of the year).

Now you're drifting into my sort of irrational optimism!

Steve Martin: She's an Egyptian!

Yes and she also “walks like an Egyptian” so now that song will be in my head for awhile.

 

[SVCBeercats]

I think a French player would be quite fashionable...........

Ask and ye shall receive!

If Jana gets called for traveling, will the organist play, "Walk Like an Egyptian"? Sorry, couldn't resist!

[AzzisBraids]

UConn next year will be stacked. Bueckers, Fudd, Edwards, Muhl, Ducharme, Brady, Patterson, DeBerry Arnold, Watkins, Samuels, and Bettencourt goodness gracious and now Jana. Wow

For some reason I was thinking she was from Spain..........technically she was born in Mexico according to her bio.........

Lopez-Sénéchal, a native of Mexico who grew up in Grenoble, France, averaged 16.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in four seasons at Fairfield, finishing with 1,598 career points and 470 boards.

At Fairfield, Lou was known as “Chica.”

 

[Gus Mahler]

Her English is remarkably good.

Thanks, Plebe.

 

[eebmg]

I can't wait to see our revised 4 yr player matrix.

 

[Sonny44]

How tall is she in IHU?

 

[Bone Dog]

That depends on how large a box Geno is standing on.

I think you mean Shade in place of Watkins!

 

[HuskyNan]

I’ll get a head start on next year…

 

[freekimchee]
