Lou Lopez Senechal to UConn! (Merged thread)

[Kaizen]

Fairfield vs. Texas highlight, 52-70 at NCAA tournament March. . Lou has 17 pts. She can shot "three".

Would anyone know if this is a one or two year transfer deal?

Enjoy the honeymoon b/c some of the boneyarders will turn on you in a second if you don't meet their explications. Some are actually quite ruthless.

Yea, agreed - I've been amazed a number of times at some of the comments I've read during games in the chat room.

Unfortunately Lou2 has only one more year of eligibility.

Since we've discussed this you pretty much know how I feel. I would however add that her size and beautiful release will be a welcome addition to the teams pull up game and from the arc. If she has a dribble drive game hopefully that will show soon, and that would be an even more of a welcome addition.

She is light out off the screen. I think she is an Evina replacement, a utility player. I believe they will be OK with rebounding. Ice Brady is big and real good. And I expect Amari to bulk up this summer.

With Arnold and Shade coming in 2023, that is just the right fit. Lou2 will get some good exposure for international opportunities and I can see her pushing caroline but not block our newbies.

After viewing some of these highlights, I thought that I was watching some Caroline highlights. Having two Carolines would be great but no idea how that is gonna play out next fall...

6’2

What's her height in IHU?

Lou is a baller.

That's the key word. It's too bad UConn didn't have her the last couple of years because Lou can play.

So who’s minutes will she take, Nika’s?

 

[eebmg]

Geno hoping for a lot of Deja Lou.

 

[DefenseBB]

Sorry, I hit the wrong post before. A nickname in 7 minutes. Only on the Boneyard.

Speaking of Nicknames, it might have to be Geno “Jose” Auriemma with 3 Euros and a Canuck on the Roster…

This just screems NIL!

 

[huskeynut]

Great addition. I have a feeling she is going to fit in just fine.

 

[jcoton56]

Magnifique! Bienvenue et bonne chance.

This sign could be misread.

Christyn & Evina averaged a combined 61 mpg. Plenty of PT to go around. Everyone Eats!!!

I like they way you said “I wish” instead of “UConn NEEDS to get Dorka some help”

No matter how it is put, IMO Dorka needs help. UConn is a bit too guard heavy.

What are you talking about we just lost two guards to graduation.

 

[oldude]

No matter how it is put, IMO Dorka needs help. UConn is a bit too guard heavy.

UConn has 6 legitimate front court players on next year’s roster: Dorka, Aubrey, Aaliyah, Amari, Ice & Ayanna. While there are some questions with Dorka & Aubrey coming off injuries, Amari needing to improve her fitness and agressiveness, and Ice & Ayanna learning to play at the college level, if even 3/6 step up, UConn will be just fine.

IMO, Dorka, Aaliyah, Ice & Ayanna will all be key contributors for next year’s team. I have great hope that Amari will also step up after spending all summer on campus working with Andrea Hudy and the coaches. My only real question mark involves Aubrey and her recovery from back surgery.

No matter how it is put, IMO Dorka needs help. UConn is a bit too guard heavy.

I do think Amari will make a big leap and be a significant piece. Aubrey will be a great addition and Ice and Ayanna will get in the mix if they earn it.

Call Geno and let him know he is doing it wrong.

Good for her and good for us. Exactly what we needed. If she can pop at an average of 20 per, she obviously can shoot, so not to worry. Her averages from the field and from 3 are solid, too.
We don't talk much about transfer students' motives, but I think it's fair to say that some, at least, are here to showcase their talents for a possible pro career. I think that may be the case with both Dorka and Lou2. And that's a good thing. UConn sends many talented, well-coached players to the WNBA (and internationally). If our transfers are determined to show their very best, that's good all around.

Ask this question again 7 months from now in November, AFTER their exhibition game.

Are we there yet?

Ba Da Boom. You'll be here all week.

 

[sun]

I like the name LuLo just fine.
Geno may not be done with accepting transfer players yet.
There's no doubt that Geno will find plenty of things to yell at her about.
"Lou! Lou! What are you doing?" ad nauseam.

So Lou2 only has a year of the blue before she’s through? That will do.
