It can be fast but typically most people at most places know there’s a need and so you’re recruiting people who try to kinda fit your need so that part makes it a little bit easier ... not just recruiting every player in the portal.” What was UConn searching for in the portal this offseason? “A certain type of person and player, a certain type of human, a certain type of academic person, a certain type of hard worker on the floor,” Valley said. “Someone who’s willing to be selfless and cares about other people, kinda just the way coach is. Just a good person and wants to be part of a really special team.” Valley was introduced to Lopez Senechal after one of her friends, a coach in the MAAC Conference, told her about the forward. With Auriemma’s friendship with Frager, the Huskies were able to gain quick feedback on Lopez Senechal before inviting her to visit campus and meet the rest of the team. [/QUOTE]
