And numbers. (or was this already discussed??)
Looks like Pulido gave up her number to Nurse.

For the record, KML is now 5'11", Morgan is a RS SO (just like Natalie), and the roster comprises two centers, three forwards and a whole mess of guards.

And while I am at it (my PC), be advised that all exterior work on the Champions Center seems to be complete. You may verify by accessing the construction cam, where you can watch the grass grow on the SW corner of the exterior. I guess phones and furniture and a fridgeload of food are all that remains on the punch list. Just a guess.

Ekmark wore #22. Edwards wore #14. Nurse wore #11. Williams wore #1 though (and we knew that wasn't gonna happen.) and some #33. Not sure why she went with #15? So yea, mostly they carried over.

Not sure why I looked but I noticed that there is an item missing from Kiah Stokes' bio. She earned second team All-AAC in 2013-14. I suspect the honor will pale when compared to her senior year accolades.

Interesting:
Tierney Lawlor - hoping to go into engineering.
Morgan Tuck - Business major, which seems perfect given how professional she seems.

Also still shows Stewart at only 6'4" :)

Is it me or does Ekmark look a bit like Shea Ralph?

Is the pronunciation guide a new thing? Perhaps it was a request form the White House?

These young women have been on campus since June, in most cases. And we have yet to have any sort of report about who looks good in pick-up games. Don't tell me that security is that tight around the team, especially with CD in Turkey. Somewhere on the Boneyard there must at least be a student, a custodian, a security guard, a maintenance worker or a cub reporter for the campus newspaper who can spread a rumor or two.

OK. Courtney Ekmark and Shea Ralph have yet to be spotted in the same room at the same time....

I can't commit to that until I see her lying on her back pumping her fists.

seems to me they are in the new location and regular fans aren't going to risk going up there to be "shut out"

1. Boneyarders have little interest in their facial resemblance. Only thing that really, really matters is (to use Russ's Q) "Can she play?" when on the court after the tip-off.

2. Not a request from the White House, but probably from FIBA for use by their in-game announcers.

The pronunciation thing has been there for a while - sporratically for some players and always for Geno

-Sorry I don’t see a reference on-line, so if you don't mind, I’ll try my best going from (what’s left of my) memory.

- I believe this has been discussed on Coach Auriemma’s show: Apparently Coach asked Dianna Taurasi what number she would like at UConn. She replied she would like ‘1.’ He (colorfully) told her that was a terrible answer. He explained assigning a number like ‘1’ or ‘0’ would be tantamount to merely using the Connecticut uniform to call attention to an individual, while the actual, sole purpose of that uniform was to serve her team. For this very same reason, there are no names of players on UConn team jerseys.

So to many fans, it’s become yet another part of what makes Connecticut Basketball different – in yet another good way.
