Morgan Tuck Announces Retirement

[UConnCat]

I see coaching in her future.

Hope to see her on one of the college benches coaching....hope it’s a school I would ultimately root for.

Can only imagine how much better Morgan Tuck would have been - if physically healthy all these years. NC and AA despite the physical issues. Best wishes Morgan.

Such an incredibly talented player. Injuries really prevented Tuck from achieving her potential in the W. I have no doubt she will be successful in whatever path she chooses.

 

[Kaizen]

Wish Mogan to recover the knee injury and be healthy, we miss you.

Ran into Morgan in Dallas, the morning of the semi final of 2017. Asked how she was doing and told her how much I missed her in a UConn uniform. Her reply was "they're doing alright without me". The reply was true. However, alright is not good enough, as we all know.
She was such a quiet power house that scored without much "fan fare". She left at the right time for her, as is obvious now. The young lady had too short a time, to make the best of her talents. I agree that coaching is a good future for her. However I wish her much success in any endeavor she may pursue.

 

[Ron and Vida]

Thanks for the memories.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy future

I had a chance to meet her at the Mohegan Sun when she was there for the AAC tourney a few years back. Totally gracious in chatting with fans and taking pictures with them. Wonderful representative for the University, and just a class act.

Best wishes for her next chapter. I see coaching in her future too. I hope she lands a good assistant job somewhere. I'd love to see her replace Jamelle IF she ever decides to move on... Hope Jamelle stays for a good long time, but you get my point...

GW is looking for a HC, right? Let the threads begin...

How many UCONN players have retired this season? Renee, now Morgan. Anyone else I'm forgetting?

 

[nan linds]

Maya?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Maya?

Per Cheryl, Maya says, "I'm not ready to retire."

It's a shame that Morgan's knees kept her from being an impact player in the pros, but she had a great high school career, had an All-American and 4-time champion college career, and became the #3 overall pick.

I look for her to land somewhere soon. I think a WNBA assistant coaching position is quite likely.

How about NBA Assistant Coach?

The heart of a lion and a person of great class. I wish you the best of luck Morgan.

Who is Cheryl?

 

[pvdoggy]

Who is Cheryl?

her coach?

 

[eebmg]

her coach?

oops.

But did she really say that?

 

[chrissaran]

Hope Morgan finds her way to the UConn sidelines next to Geno, CD, Shea, and Jamelle.

She got a chance to reach her ultimate goals in sports. She won championships at every level, and was part of a class that "set the standard" in WCBB (4 NC's). She met and made friends with influntial people along the way that can help her as she transitions into the next stage of her life.

Morgan has always been a no nonsense mature individual with a ferocious work ethic. She'll be fine!! Where ever she wants to go, and whatever she wants to do, there are people that will gladly open/help open doors for her. Be it coaching, college/pro sports administration (athletic director/GM) or broadcast media, Morgan will be fine and will no doubt excel at whatever she chooses to do next. Stay tuned.
