Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3631517, member: 26"] Great article, [USER=9361]@Rings R Us[/USER] . Not surprisingly, a few awesome comments by the dad regarding his visit to UCONN to watch practices: [I]While in Storrs, the father-daughter pair were blown away by the warm reception they received from everyone around the program. “They’re the nicest people ever. ... We’re nobody and they take the time to come over, walk over and talk to you,” Tehmi said. “The most important coaches to me in college basketball – just revolutionary – and they take the time to come. And we’re strangers. ‘Hey, how you doing? Where do you go to school? Can you play?’ Random small talk but just chatting.”[/I] Article goes on to say that UCONN did look at Autumn, but over time, the interest died down. Autumn mostly got interest from low-major programs. Apparently there was one top 10 program that gave her an offer, but her heart was set on UCONN - and it worked out that she was able to join as a walk on. Great kid, great family, great story - fans will ADORE her. [I]Assimilating with the team won’t be an issue, either. After she committed, Dailey put Autumn in touch with redshirt junior Evina Westbrook. The two hit it off immediately.[/I] [/QUOTE]
