It was the first time I had attended something like this and I was surprised that it was as large as it was - over 500 people.
I was made just a little uncomfortable by the amount of time and the sort of 'display' the players were put up to. I understand the importance to the program of these events both in fan access and financial support, but when the players entered they all went in pairs to stations around the space and initially were just sort of mobbed, but then the crowd was formed into lines for picture taking and it went on for what seemed like an hour. Initially the crowd around Breanna and Morgan was a little unruly and overwhelming - that was the one point I saw uconn staff really step in and move people back and into an organized line.
The players were amazing at keeping their smiles in place and being friendly, but it must be a pretty big ordeal for them.
The coaches were also available, but generally were roaming around a bit more and not quite so popular. And Meghan, Eric and Kerith were also there but the least mobbed of the group.
