OK! Perhaps too much enthusiasm!

It appears that Miss Coombes has some guns developing. Obvious weight room work.

The starting lineup (without the guy):

Christyn used to think that Geno is hilarious. Maybe she is reassessing.

I'm in charge! Listen up!

Come let's stroll, stroll across the floor. Now turn around baby, and we'll stroll some more!

What punishment is this where they are forced to wear black socks.

Clearly an Eighth Amendment issue! Is there a lawyer in the house?

Geno looking like the Grinch that is about to steal ND's Christmas...
Christyn - "really, I can do that?!"
Geno - Doh!!

I looked at the pics yesterday and this one in particular stood out at me indicating that Coombs is (thankfully) ready to go. I think she'll give some quality minutes and that Geno's go-to bench may be three or four players for the first time in quite awhile.

I’m sure they’re dark blue !! Very different !!

I look good in a dark navy suit but put a black suit coat on me and I look dead ...

I'd rather see black socks than black shoes although they are both ugly.

Well, if my (and other BY) eyes can't tell the difference, than the difference is small.

The starting lineup (without the guy):

Pheesa , Lou , Chrystyn , Crystal , and Megan......Could this be an early look at the potential starting 5?

As others have mentioned, Coombs looks particularly ripped in this photo. She looks both leaner and stronger.
While we haven’t heard much about Mikayla since she was diagnosed with DVT last season, clearly she also has been putting in some serious work in the off-season.

Last season Mikayla showed us some flashes on defense and with her handle. If she is ready to step up as a regular rotation player this season so that UConn has a solid 3-guard rotation with Crystal, Christyn & Mikayla, UConn becomes a much tougher team to face.

We know that Mikayla went through stages of activities after being diagnosed. Initially, I think it was no activity at all. During the summer, she could engage in running, but no contact or scrimmages. We heard that she worked on her shot as well. It looks as if she was cleared for lifting. She was fully cleared in late August or early September. Hopefully, she is catching up on her basketball skills. As with Lou's injury, the inactivity is frustrating, but it's an opportunity to do something else, something that also yields benefits. I like Mikayla's quick hands and feet and her speed. I think she can put them to good use.

I do think so.

Anyone know the story on Lexi's knee brace. Saw a photo last week with her having one of those rubber knee bands on.
