Players on campus for summer workouts

[Mdoggie]

That's a serious statement. Im not so sure about it as next year's draft is pretty good. Respectfully she would have to show a lot of improvement.

So your not sure and Geno is. You want us to pick sides?

Nika is baaaaack!!!

With a bun, no less.

I think Lou is going to exceed expectations by a lot.

Bingo! The offense is custom made for her, she can be lethal hitting shots coming off well set screens. I think GA knows what he has here.

Enjoy.

I think that kinda is Geno's point. He has high expectations for her, and I hope he's not speaking in hyperbole...

Next time I can’t get my mower started at the start of the season, I’m calling Paige.

The rest of us are not sure why you didn't call her the the first time.

Toward the end of the SNY interview Geno says Lou is “challenged at the other end of the floor” and they’ll have to work on that with her. I think you can see this in the Fairfield games, where they only really play a simple zone. It’s not that she doesn’t give the effort, but that Fairfield didn’t give her enough experience in the complex schemes UConn plays.

But his quip was, she fits in well with the more recent UConn guards.

 

[Bone Dog]

Exactly. He excepted only Paige and Nika, and grouped her with everyone else (ie Caroline and Azzi) as needing to work on their defense. That’s not a bad group to be in.

I love this stuff. Lou doing some serious hang cleans.

 

[eebmg]

Paige said Ayanna was dominating the weight room but I have not seen her in the recent clips after the 1st practice clips. I wonder if that elbow whack was more of an issue


Lou looks great, keep it up Aubry and Dorka doing alot even with the wrist.

That rule was put in place in 2013 and the main intent was to standardize summer sessions. Prior to the rule being implemented some unscrupulous coaches were requiring players to stick around the campus and sneaking in supervised workouts. The NCAA decided to formalize the policy and it also required the players to be enrolled in summer session classes in order to receive those 8 hours per week of supervised instructions. The rule was also tweaked in 2021 due to COVID and the abundance of players in transfer portal. The new tweak allows the staff to add two new positions (instructors) for summer sessions that are not on the current coaching staff.

I would add Tina Charles and Stewie (inbetween all their other commitments)....

If everyone gets healthy who is going to get PT? I think it should be another "everyone eats" approach. Keep running fresh studlets out there for maximum defensive pressure and fresh offense.

I agree since it looks like we will be 11 strong, and I hope Geno sees it that way as well.

I feel like I had a great workout just watching the team lift. It’s going to be fun to watch these young ladies play ball.

Maybe this is where the team wants to spend the summer? 2 weeks with family is enough.

I might try that belly on the floor exercise. More my speed.

Geno always sees it that way- unfortunately --not all the players show him what he'd like to see.

How come when they do it, it's exercise, but when I do it, it's a sploot?

Splooting is a newer term for a rather old and common occurrence. It is a coined name for when dogs (or other animals) lie down on their bellies and put

I was just thinking, were the three seniors last season UConn's most athletic players? I guess one thing that was sort of underrated about SC was how athletic they were. Saxton and Henderson particularly stood out to me. I know there has been quite a bit of emphasis on Paige getting stronger, but I'm thinking it will be just as important for Dorka and Caroline in order to matchup with their front line.

Enjoy.

Geno sounds a little like former Minnesota Vikings head coach Dennis Green............."They were who we thought they were."
