Practice video #2 released

Blanca 2 weeks ago. Airdom is a European company and it appears Blanca is one of their NIL representatives. She’s had posts on her timeline about Airdom for over a year

Check out the wingspan on Yanna.I have only thoughts of greatness when I see pics and videos of her. She is a beast. I’m sure UConn Nation will be more than pleasantly surprised by her performance this year.

Ayanna looks in much better shape, quicker. So much good here.
Yep, me want more! Please!!!

I am looking forward to that athleticism. It's human nature to take people and things that were familiar with for granted. I think many (most?) of us either discount what she'll bring to the table or have forgotten about her entirely. I'm guilty of that myself as I think through the big rotation. We shall see, but, if healthy, she can do things that no one else on the court can.

I'm a believer in Ayanna and what she can bring to the team. She can be like a bigger, stronger Aubrey, especially on defense and as a rebounder. She could even run out in the transition game. Of course, she'd have to improve her finishing skills for that. What she can't do very well is handle the ball in the open court, and her low post moves are rudimentary, though her strong hands make up for a lot. If she can develop into an efficient low post scorer, she will be hard to take off the court. And if that midrange jumper she had in high school returns, she'll be almost impossible for Geno to take out of games.

I have thought of the same comparison, and I think it's a good one. Agreed that she's got to develop reliable go to low post moves in order to be effective. She may be the sleeper in this year's team. She is an incredibly physically gifted athlete. I'm looking forward to seeing what she can do on the court when healthy.

a blessing to see any action ... but i can definitely like 'em better if they ditched the quick-glimpse nonsense. i need more time to process the images. is this a trend/gimmick that appeals to the social media elite for some reason. i guess i'm just too old to appreciate its virtues.

Same for me, that's why I hit the pause a number of times when I watch for the second time. This way I'm only confused half the time. Good luck, enjoy.

Such great stuff and several wildcards for sure...

Carol, Ayanna, and even Kelis - for numerous reasons, no one really knows what to expect from them. Carol and Ayanna coming back from extended absences due to injuries, and Kelis a freshman. Regardless of who starts, every player wants to show the staff that you CAN'T keep them off the floor in games.

I know we will miss Paige terribly, but this might be the "funnest" season we've had in a very long time as fans!!!

I can. She is 6'2" with a pull up jumper, a 3, drive moves right and left and a lot of court smarts. I just can't project what lineup she works best in yet. I am predicting she starts.

Her 3 pt. career % is 30.1..very poor way below average

I think you meant "funnerest" or maybe "funliest." But I hope not "funeste" from the French.

Only 144 more days until Louisville.

Totally agree…this years team will be better than last year…no doubt in my mind
