Message: [QUOTE="Kibitzer, post: 2074641, member: 30"] As we are overwhelmed by quantitative measures of success (11 NC's, 104 consecutive wins, etc., etc.), something that is surely unique to our UConn women's basketball program is [B]the very high incidence of biracial players who are offspring of interracial marriages.[/B] [INDENT]Currently: Saniya, Gabby, Napheesa, and Kia. Recently graduated: Kiah and Kaleena. In the pipeline: Lexi and Andi.[/INDENT] Obviously, Geno's focus when evaluating every (prospective or roster) player is a straightforward criterion: [B]Can she play?[/B] Clearly, their participation has been vital to the program's success.:) A possible contributing factor: It is reasonable to believe (as I do) that parents of these UConn Huskies may have found a more welcoming atmosphere in the, um, "Greater Storrs" community than at some similar environs elsewhere.
