Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2421625, member: 5089"] [I]However, Auriemma admitted he wasn't sure which way Olivia Nelson-Ododa was leaning before she committed to the Huskies on Monday. "You never know about recruiting," Auriemma said. "I remember the very first time I sat down and watched her play, I thought this kid plays really hard, she is really competitive and she has incredible athletic ability. There are a lot of things that she does well, then when you meet these kids, sometimes it makes you question (if you want to continue to recruit them) and other times it just adds to it. She is one of the nicest kids we have been involved with in recruiting - both of these kids her and Christyn, "I know Olivia hasn't played, it's been a little while since she played (as a result of a knee injury). She is a little bit like Azura' as a person, laid back kind of easy going, nice kid and just a really talented kid. She is not a 'stick them in the low post and forget about them' player, she is a basketball player. Needless to say we were pretty excited when we got her."[/I] More at the link: [URL="http://elmcitytoeaglevillenhr.blogspot.com/2017/11/geno-auriemma-dishes-on-newly-signed.html"]The New Haven Register Blogs: Elm City to Eagleville: Geno Auriemma dishes on newly signed recruiting class[/URL] [/QUOTE]
