Qadence says of her decision. “And I believe that the head coach, Geno [Auriemma], will make me better and challenge me to be a professional basketball player.”
"the seven Samuels siblings and their parents, Shanda and Qwanzi Samuels Sr. ... During the pandemic, they would all go together to this court or the one at their middle school as early as 6 a.m. to train. They’d do form shooting, basketball drills and other on-the-court workouts, followed by some sort of strength and conditioning workout, which often involved running hills."
"... they expected Qadence’s decision to be a long, drawn-out process. In some ways it was — she had built relationships with other schools for over a year — but the UConn commitment came together at rapid speed. A few months ago, Qadence wasn’t even being recruited by UConn. "
"“It felt like a dream, to be honest,” Qadence said. “I was like, ‘I’m really at UConn.’ And it was just, to me it was unreal because like I see all the trophies and stuff.”
"I think holding her to a level of expectation and accountability is something that she strives in those sorts of environments. She’s willing to say, ‘Oh, I’m not going hard. I’ll go harder.’ Or, ‘Wait, you want me to do this? Alright, I’ll do it.’”
