Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3235357, member: 250"] Okay, I'll treat this at face value. Roberta, a former player herself, is mom to Nika Muhl, UConn class of 2020. USF was recruiting Nika and in her final 4, until it became 5 with UConn's arrival. "Nika Muhl stared at the email. Was this a prank? Or was this real? The subject line read, "Greetings from UConn", and that was intriguing enough for Muhl, a 5-foot-10 point guard from the Croatian capital of Zagreb. But then she opened the correspondence, and it left Muhl and her parents stunned. This was no joke. Chris Dailey, Connecticut's associate head coach, wanted to know if Muhl would be interested in playing for the Huskies. And even though 4,170 miles and six time zones separate Zagreb from Storrs, Connecticut, Muhl knew all about coach Geno Auriemma's program and its 11 national championships. "I was speechless," Muhl said of the email she received in January. "My mom [Roberta] cried. I cried, oh yeah, I cried. My dad [Darko] was speechless. We all just sat in silence in our living room for five minutes." The timing of the email was a bit odd for Muhl because she had just figured out her four finalists for college and was about to post it on Twitter. But, once Muhl recovered from the shock, she realized she needed to set one more plate at the table. Her "final four" became her final five, and she posted the news on Jan. 27: Louisville, Ohio State, Oregon, South Florida and ... UConn."

Also known as Baby Muhl, a few months ago at least, Hana was recognized as a better shooter than Nika and as far as being pepper-pots they may be a tie. Gauranteed she is on a lot of radars and was MVP of her age group Adriatic League championship. [MEDIA=twitter]1032974986946928640[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
