Rich: Dolson enjoying career season

“I think the hard work that she’s put in,’’ UConn coach Geno Auriemma said when referring to where Dolson’s confidence comes from. “She’s always been an incredibly positive person. She’s always been upbeat. She’s always had a winning personality. You can’t underestimate how much that has to do with being a good player. The average person out there watching us on TV or watching us in person can see somebody’s athletic ability or see something that they haven’t and go, `Wow, that kid’s going to be a great player.’

“But they never see the kid’s true personality. And that’s what makes you a good player. If you have some skill, if you have some talent but then what your personality type is, and that’s hard to figure out sometimes when you’re recruiting kids because you don’t get to know them that much. You don’t get to spend enough time with them. Then when they get here the most upbeat, positive, out-going personalities are the ones that become the best players. And that’s who she is.’’

While not having a truly "bubbly" personality, Maya had an extremely positive outlook on things, as did Diana. They think they can do anything. And they pretty much can.

Oh, I thought that Geno was implying that Maya was not really a good player. One would have to ask a Tennessee fan to get a reasonable assessment of D's personality.
