Of all the admirable qualities UConn WCBB recruits under Geno and Chris seem to have in common, perhaps the most refreshing is a sense of humor. They all seem to be ready for a laugh. Stephanie Dolson comes to mind as the quintessential UConn cutup. Players run the gamut from wry to zany, which is not something one expects from such high-achievers. In interviews they are invariably disarming, honest (well, carefully tactful sometimes) and witty.
Kara Wolters and Rebecca Lobo regularly crack me up. Meghan Pattyson is can be a riot - I love her understatements. Geno's interviews with ex-players are always loaded with jabs back and forth.
And the coaching staff has proven they can take a joke or make a joke, as well. Geno's interviews with ex-players are often hilarious.
Maybe it's born of a need to escape the pressures of UConn WCBB.
Then again, maybe they're just funny.
