Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2765768, member: 5089"] You can tell it's nowhere near November with this kind of effusive praise. [SIZE=4][B]Geno Auriemma[/B][/SIZE]: “One of the big differences between these two freshmen and last year’s freshmen is that these two understand that it’s hard, and they understand that it’s supposed to be really hard, and they accept it and they welcome it.” “Christyn is just a powerful kid. Her game is powerful, and Olivia is smooth and, like most kids who have surgery in high school, she’s not recovered yet. She’s not nearly strong enough, she’s nowhere near being where she needs to be strength-wise to be able to be a good player.” “They better have an impact this year. I mean, I would think. I’m not saying we’re going to go into any game and say ‘Listen, it’s on you guys.’ That’s not going to happen, but we certainly need them to play and be a part of it. They didn’t come here to sit on the bench, neither of them. And they didn’t come here to watch and cheer. They came here to play, and they’re going to contribute, believe me. They’re going to contribute a lot. They really are.” [URL="http://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-upperclassmen-impressed-with-freshmen-20180626-story.html"]UConn Women's Basketball Upperclassmen Impressed With Freshmen[/URL] [/QUOTE]
