Had a feeling this was the case when I saw pics of her on campus. Bittersweet for Canada Basketball fans, but at the same time, missing 6 weeks of classes alone is a lot to ask.
Yes. Now we can put to rest all of the speculation about whether Paige is going to return next year or not. I never for a moment thought she wouldn't.Not really a surprise. But it’s always good to hear reassuring news.
It is a testament to the reputation of Geno Auriemma and UConn WBB that Ines would travel across an ocean to play for the Huskies without ever having stepped foot on campus. Amazing!!!I wasn't sure, but I didn't think Ines had ever been to the US before. She's got a whole of a adjusting to do in the next few months.
What a leap of faith she took by committing to come to UConn WITHOUT setting foot on campus or the US.
Again.......congratulations to Geno and his staff for doing such a wonderful job in recruiting Ines and convincing her to come to Storrs.
I think it's a decision she will never regret.
Senhor Google to give you the gist…Any interpreters in Portuguese?
She's off to a good start. Now she's got Ticha following her. She'll probably follow Ines all 4 years. What a wonderful thing to have your childhood hero that you followed, now follow you.Any interpreters in Portuguese?
Or just karate chops everybody.I wonder if that means Ines at some point will become her "slime."?
Penicheiro: Good luck, Inês!Any interpreters in Portuguese?
Couldn't agree more!It is a testament to the reputation of Geno Auriemma and UConn WBB that Ines would travel across an ocean to play for the Huskies without ever having stepped foot on campus. Amazing!!!
Thank you!!Penicheiro: Good luck, Inês!
To be a husky is a dream come true,
I couldn't refuse this offer. —Inês
It is the best achievement for a Portuguese woman
when it comes to American Universities. —Agostinho Pinto
I'm proud. For me, 21 was a lucky number and
I hope it will be for her, too.—Ticha Penicheiro
ETA- Google translate scrambles genders, and translates base
as base. It should be guard.
With Nika, Geno went to her home . I know Nika had other colleges on her list and all of them made pitches in her home. Some were HC's and some were Assistants. She was ready to make the jump.oldude said:

With the exception of her stint with Basketball without Borders Nika took the same path. She never visited Storrs, or for that matter any other colleges, before her trip over for freshman year. Anyone know if this is typical for European players? Did Svetlana ever visit before enrolling? Did Dorka make any visits before her time at the OSU, Lou before Fairfield?
Lou visited UConn for a weekend prior to transferring to UConn as a grad student.oldude said:
