I was wondering who the next Kelly Faris would be. Seems we've got a candidate.I'll say it first...this girl is tough as nails.. Kelly Faris Jr.....obviously shorter and less notoriety...Black belt and 3 sport athlete...high basketball I.Q....IMO..she is going to help w/ minutes and surprise everyone.. Go Huskies...!!
I thought Diana wanted 1.Diana wanted 0 but Geno didn't like it. He thought its worn by folks trying to attract attention to themselves.
That's what I remember. But I'm old and my memory fades.I thought Diana wanted 1.
I don't know Tierney or her parents but both of her grandfathers were great football players at Ansonia High School. So she has good blood lines.IMO your association of Lawlor to Faris is spot on. In fact, her high school and AAU play has often been likened to that of Faris and at a quick glance she even sometimes resembles her. Go Huskies! Go TLAW!
We hope TLAW will see at least a few minutes of playing time this season.

welcome to the board "Auntie"I am hopeful she will be the one to move beyond the traditional perception of a "walk-on" and make it a "few minutes" per game!

Comparatively, all very true. But I am learning about old rather rapidly.\
Meyers: You are a whipper snapper and know next to nothing about old.....and even less about memory, as you have next to none.
HA! An Engineer wanna be. My new fave. Go TLaw!I do see some resemblance too. The photo contained within this link, although not a basketball photo, provides a more clearer image of Tierney then some of the others I have seen circulating. http://www3.ctcentral.com/nhr/Spotlight6-25-13.pdf
Good find. Don't see a lot of women in engineering, and civil engineering to boot. She's gonna be a busy young lady.HA! An Engineer wanna be. My new fave. Go TLaw!

Diana requested a number (perhaps 1). Geno told her no. Then she requested a second one - I'm pretty sure it was zero - and Geno got ticked off, for the reasons I indicated above.
Don't get your hopes up too high. We've never had a walk-on significantly contribute (on the court during games - except that one time when Marron came on and hit some shots). We've had quite a few ranked, recruited girls not up to the level of UCONN and not able to contribute much. So to expect a walk-on to be able to, is a pretty healthy stretch.Usually I don't get to excited about walk-ons, but I truly believe that these two players have talent and great attitudes and just might make a significant contribution to the team.
