Somebody grab the tissues.

Geno is right - we won't forget her. Nika forged her legacy at UConn.

I'm really going to miss her, her fire, her passion and her leadership.

Centerstream is right - we need a crying emoji.

 

[Jackalope]

And this is why I am a UCONN wcbb fan......

 

[Ozimoto]

Lots of onions being chopped around here. Nika will become one of many "Legendary Huskies" who have graced the program. And what a relationship those two have.

 

[BRS24]

Geno saying "stop talking" is coach-speak for "you've gonna make me cry"

 

[HuskyNan]

Nika and Grampy

Fri, Apr 26	Last day of spring semester classes
Sat, Apr 27-Sun, Apr 28	Reading Days
Mon, Apr 29-Sat, May 4	Final examinations

Um, isn't there still another week of actual school stuff (at a minimum) before she should be 'catching a flight out of there'? I sincerely hope that she does very well in the WNBA as well as European Professional Basketball; I am also hopefully that she received a Bachelor's Degree while at UCONN.

I'm a tough guy here in Indiana, holding strong, but heavy clouds outside, maybe that's where the rain is coming from.........I better check that roof.

Love you Nika. Thank you Geno.

Every kid who thinks herself or himself as the underdog, as "not quite as good as the other kids", should find every clip of Nika Muhl available and commit it to memory. God given natural born talent only takes you so far. You don't have to be the 5th ranked kid by some hoop magazine to leave your mark. I just wish she could somehow get recognized in the same way the All-Americans do, because there's no doubt that she made just as much of an impact.

I'm not so sure we ever see another Nika who is not only willing to do all of the hard, tough, necessary work that goes unnoticed - but who genuinely LOVES to do all the hard, tough, necessary work that makes everyone around her better by multiples. She'd be the first one I'd pick for anything from a pickup game to a rock fight. 100% all the time. It may not be pretty, it may not be perfect, but you will never question her commitment to the cause, her determination to win, and her willingness to give everything she has for her teammates.

Now stop cutting those $%&*@! onions....

When the ceremony is held, Nika and Aaliyah will return, if their schedules allow

 

[Blond D.]

Sue Bird was the assist leader and my favorite player of all time. Now Nika has replaced her as assist leader and as my all time favorite player.
I am SO gonna miss her as I know SO many fans will. WOW what an impact she has had on me and so many others.

Love ya, Nika You're the BEST!!! ♥♥♥♥♥

 

[ochoopsfan]

Can't she stay for another year.....or ten years?

 

[Bone Dog]

Wait one second. Shouldn't there be 4 of them? Paige Aaliyah, Nika and Azzi?

Don't worry, I realize Joni passed away a few years back.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

A player like Nika Muhl is what coaches dream about having on their team every year!

 

[Nyskier]

Love you, Nika!

Best of luck in Seattle!

 

[funkraider]

I'm not crying, you're crying!!!

 

[MSGRET]

I'm going to miss the energizer bunny next year. May she continue her quest in Seattle.

Nika will never be gone. She left 100% of herself on the court Every Single Time! Blr
