This simply has her doing drills but she also pronounces her name in the video. She shows up around the 4:45 mark.

This is tremendously exciting. The fact that she visited this weekend and has committed by Sunday night suggests A) the weekend with all the recruits went well and B) she had an idea that she was going to do this when she came into the weekend and likely had a positive impact on the other recruits.

Bet on it.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Yessssssssssssssssss!

Welcome, Napheesa! You'll be a great player on a great team with great coaches and great fans. You just became a part of HuskyNation and the UConn family ... forever!

Don't y'all read the newspapers or surf the net? This is horrible for women's hoops Welcome to another blue chipper.

It must be a draw to play for UConn during Mo, Stewie and possibly Morgan's senior season.

@PHEEsespieces on when she told Geno: `We hugged for a long time. There was a lot of cheering from the other coaches. It was cool.' #UConn --Rich

It must be a draw to play for UConn during Mo, Stewie and possibly Morgan's senior season.

. . . and Saniya's junior season.

Courtney, Gabby, Sadie and Kia will be sophomores.

And I am confident that at least one more blue-chipper will join Napheesa as freshmen.

I gotta like our chances.

"Spider-like wingspan." We're recruiting an All-Wingspan team...

 

[Geno-ista]

. . . and Saniya's junior season.

Courtney, Gabby, Sadie and Kia will be sophomores.

And I am confident that at least one more blue-chipper will join Napheesa as freshmen.

I gotta like our chances.

Those young ladies know we need some front court players- and all of these girls seam to fit the bill.

 

[Bestiarius]

Why do I love the way this team is run? It's the priorities. Great people first. Then great players! Napheesa sounds like a perfect match with UConn!

Stewie is now another kind of closer...
"Collier said that she stayed with UConn star Breanna Stewart during her visit. She was impressed by the closeness shared by the Huskies."

[DaddyChoc]

Na "Fee" Sa ... twitter name is PHEEsesPieces, a play on Reese's Pieces, that where I get the Fee cause it sounds like Ree

Great News! Welcome Napheesa!
Dang, we have more wings than Col. Sanders.

Great News! Welcome Napheesa!
Dang, we have more wings than Col. Sanders.

This wing can rebound and post up. A versatile player.

 

[doggydaddy]

Wait? Can this be? A top player committing to Uconn when they darn well know what a crappy conference they play in?

Imposkible!!!
