I have to admit that I missed this thread. Big ups to my favorite Husky of all time.
I will say I am a bit shocked that she is going into the Hall, tho. All for an incredible college run? The WNBA career was 4 seasons with 3 temas and three of the seasons were 55 games (1 start).
Big day this Saturday!!

She can now write a book called"From a dinosaur with a small brain to the hall of fame".A famous coach once referred to her that way i believe. lol

Not bad for the worst post in America.
She WAS the worst post --she has had loads of company --Lobo, Steff, Stewie--and my favorite--Stokes.
Thanks I enjoyed the memory --albeit Kara probably does not-- Congrats to the BIG girl--and great game

Congrats to Kara! She was asked last season what she would do if she played in 2017? Her answer, "I'd be coming off the bench with the walk ons! I'd be way too slow to keep up with the pace of the game as it's played today. I came along at just the right time for my type of game!"
She is one of many great stories that UCONN WBB has had through the years! A great effort on her part plus great coaching has brought to this wonderful moment in her life!

Carl has a lengthy article on this good news in the link above.
BTW: do you think she has a shot at the Naismith HOF?
I would say 'no'.

"As a freshman, Wolters asked Auriemma why he incessantly screamed at her. He told her she should worry when he's not screaming, because that would mean she lacked potential.
"I said, 'Oh you must really think I've got a lot of potential because you're always yelling at me,'" Wolters said.

I always thought she was a bit overrated especially her first few years. But congrats!
