For those that missed it... you didn't miss a whole lot, but here is a quick rundown of some of the quotes (paraphrased at least)...
Geno Auriemma - In reference to the high expectations of the program: "it's no longer what have you done for me lately, but what are you going to do for me tomorrow?" As to the best player on the team, says Mosqueda-Lewis is it and doesn't get enough mention as the best player in the country because she's 5-11 while Stewart is 6-4, but Mosqueda-Lewis can do everything Stewie can. On Chong says he didn't think she would be able to finish around the basket in the college game as a freshman, but she has proven him wrong and she reminds him of Shea Ralph in that aspect of her game.
Dolson - Has taken on a leadership role with her big personality and was instrumental in welcoming the newcomers and emphasized the importance of the team hanging out together off the court. Big Momma Stef cooks and even cleans for some of her teammates who are roommates and neighbors. Also is working on improving her 3 point game because she wants to open up the paint for easy layups for the guards. Mentioned that she hates guarding posts that can shoot the 3 (not sure there are that many with that skill in WCBB), and she wants to present that as a defensive challenge too.
Saniya - A couple of things stood out. She mentioned time management difference between high school and college and that now she has to manage her studies, classes, practice, work out sessions, etc. Also said in high school she didn't have to work as hard and rarely worked out and that was a big change when she got to Storrs.
Meghan Culmo - Expects the team to win every game.
Hartley - Says she gets sad whenever it is mentioned this is her last year. Talked about remembering when she was a freshman people mentioning that the time flies and now looking back on her first three years, it's true, and that she will miss UConn because she loves it there. Ankle is 100%, will still tape it up, but the brace is gone.
Briefly mentioned Tuck and Jefferson's maturation. Talked about Banks returning and that it takes a while to get over a knee injury mentally especially when driving to the basket. No mention of Stokes, Pulido, and Lawlor.
