[Kaizen]

I think Autumn is better than a walk-on ...

I think she might be around Molly talent. It will be interesting to see if she can have control of her nerve as opposed to Molly. Watching Molly, it always seemed like she was nervous, rushing, and calculating mathematical equations in her head while playing.

A jog-on maybe?

That was a good one ,@Biff . But as she is from Lafayette, La, the heart of Cajun country, she will no doubt two step on!

Home of the Ragin' Cajun's and GREAT food.

I find it somewhat surprising, in view of her academic excellence, that Tulane didn't make her an offer. (Or maybe they did???)

I don't recall a tumble weed transferring in... That tumble is definitely NOT a BIG!

Pretty quick though, huh?

I’m actually the tumbleweed— short, round, and just bouncing through looking for the stars (sans EDD) that transferred from UConn.

I've heard this song a few times in various "old" western movies, but it's been a while..........like over 40 years.

Only in the Boneyard (during Covid restrictions) would a walk on get over 160 posts.....Wonder how many we will see once the season starts.

I know once we're up 20 or 30 on one of the many crappy Big East opponents we are forced to play 20 times a season, I will be hoping Geno puts in Autumn.

I'm thinking an Autumn alley-oop to Piath for a dunk.... Pretty sure that would bring down the house (even if it is only families....)
Might even make the ESPN top five of the night.... {I know they are still ESPN!}

 

[The CDR-Ret]

What would make it even better would be against ND at South Bend!!!! : )

 

[The CDR-Ret]

Next play on Defensive end is a block by Piath, she gathers the ball, and while still in the air throws 3/4 court to Autumn for a layup. Now, if Autumn dunks....

 

[hart2hart]

Well said Carnac, Geno wants her!!
So excited to see Autumn and All play!
Our gals....... just Love them!
Our first gal from LA? Or no?
Cheers to all you BY’S!!

Autumn has some skills, but looks like a shorter DWB. I'd like to see her add some strength.

There was a famous Cajun eatery and live music joint in Breaux Bridge called Mulate's. It closed a few years ago, but it had the best Cajun food I've ever eaten. And the wooden floor dancing made it special. Great memories.

Friend on another board put me onto this home town article about Autumn's decision. Interesting gutsy quotes from her. Very articulate young woman.

After years of being told she was too small to play college basketball on the Division I level, Chassion set out to prove the naysayers wrong.

"That's all everyone talked about," Chassion said. "I'm too small. In high school, I grew like 4 inches. Now, I've always been skinny, and I'm the same skinny kid, but I don't feel like that will prevent me from excelling on the basketball court.

Autumn Chassion joins UConn women's basketball program as walk-on

Former Lafayette Christian Academy girls basketball player Autumn Chassion will fulfill her dream of playing college basketball at UConn as a walk-on.

She may get a few garbage minutes here and there, but she will not see any significant playing time. Coach Auriemma has a history of playing his top 8 or so players a lot of minutes, that will continue this year with the amount of new players that need pt to develop.

You don't know that.

Don’t you hate it when people state what is already known by most fans in a attempt to sound profound or all knowing?
