The Huskies have such a talented group of young ladies that I believe they will have the BE Player of the Week almost every week with at least 2 players being either on the Honor Roll or one as the Player of the Week and one on the Honor Roll.

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure UConn will get freshman of the week. Is Blanca considered a freshman? Nothing against our freshmen, but will they get the minutes?

BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Ally Timm, DePaul, R-Fr., G
Timm averaged 20.5 points per game, 2.0 steals, 1.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in a 1-1 week with a 92-54 victory over Valparaiso and a loss to MWC preseason favorite UNLV. In the victory over Valparaiso, she had a career-high 28 points behind a blistering 80 percent shooting from behind the arc. The guard added two rebounds, two assists and four steals in the outing. In the loss against UNLV, she finished with 13 points, two rebounds and one block.

How many times have we UConn fans been able to say that precise thing about a players chance of being conference player of the week and year, and first team AA. A player that almost always was clearly the best player on the court game after game. Most fans never get to see such a transcendent player on their team. For us it is common place:

DT - 2003 and 04
Maya - 08, 09, 10, 11
Breanna - 14, 15, 16
Paige - 21, 24, 25

Sarah is next in line.

Not only do you show the 4 on UConn's Mt. Rushmore, but Sarah nudge someone off of the mountain. Time will tell.

Once a player is up there, she stays there. Rename the mountain and increase the number that can go up there.

Blanca turned 19 on August 3

rushmore is a bad metaphor (simile? ... urrr, whatever!) cause in fact the dudes carved up there are NOT the topmost U.S. presidents. GW is a lock, abe has a strong case -- but jeff and teddy not-so-much.

uconn has MORE than 4 who deserve recognition, obviously. rushmore just won't do.

7 wonders of the world? 10 commandments? baker's dozen?

That’s why I think in terms of the Supreme Court in the basketball Capital of the world.

Mount Rushmore would be a pile of rubble before we could get all the UConn greats chiseled into it.

Just- Say-N 😎👍

You guys are making me laugh. OK, wo posted about Easter Island and all those things there? Maybe instead of Mt. Rushmore we should be talking about Easter Island monuments. 😊
