At the Rent last year I got a pic of myself with AJax and Adama. So cool that I got a pic with NBAers from UConn. So happy for them.
Went to the Florida game last year. After the game, maybe 20 fans tops found the bus & waited for the players to come out.
The bus was a football field away & up 2 levels of steps. Security wouldn’t let any fans go down the steps, so we had to wait up top. As players came out, we started yelling over at them. Adama was the first player to walk over, asked why everyone was up there & told us to come down to meet the team. When he found out we couldn’t, he climbed the steps and spent time with each fan. Then led Hasam, Newton, Hawkins, Clingan & Andre up. They all did the same. Hurley came up too. One of my fondest memories from a game & a real testament to Adama.
Hope he has an amazing & profitable career. Will struggle to meet a better man, or a better representative for the university. And we somehow had a whole team full of them
