I, for one take Nika at her word, 'She's ready to grow up and embarrass her role as a leader'. In one of her earliest interviews she spoke of her podmate Evina as being like their mom - that became Evina's team identity over the last two seasons. In a more recent interview she spoke of the 'young guys messing up' but the seniors shouldering the heat for all that went wrong in practices and games. She's had great role models, especially 'her mom' Evina. Geno has often cited her being the voice of the team, a change maker and someone that plays UCONN tough.
Nika is well known for being an open book, she says exactly what she feels. I am very excited to see how upperclassmen Nika Mühl impacts her team in 22-23. She loves her teammates, coaching staff and, as per Darko in the article, the fans. All her energy and intensity will now be focused in a commitment to do whatever she can to help her team achieve all their goals. I wouldn't bet against her or the 22-23 Huskies. As I've said before, I absolutely love this kid and what she brings to our Huskies, not withstanding that, I am grateful that I am not her dad or for that matter her coach (which both although clearly have been driven to the edge love her as well) !
