Right! A classic example of how hard work and determination pay off.

Keep up the good work kid; you're an inspiration.

Guess she learned a thing or two from Geno and staff.

LOVE this kid. Always appreciated her at UCONN, but I believe she will last many years in the pros. She's got all the tools/gifts, and has the UCONN work ethic and background to help her even more. Rooting for her big time!!!

I've been watching Dallas a lot more this year. Saniya has looked good to me--on the court and off the court.

Yes, her biceps are looking quite good these days.

I sincerely hope than Saniya goes on to have a long and memorable career in professional basketball, and then who knows, maybe come a coach or a media color analyst.

League pass is really the only way to watch and keep track of our girls (UConn alums). Maya Moore is the reason I first became interested in the W. I subscribed to the League pass her rookie year so that I could continue to follow her daily at the next level. I've been a fan of the W, and subscribing every year since.

Interesting. I started last year to follow Stewie and Kiah. This year I've been focusing on Saniya Chong.

I check the box scores of all our girls everyday, then pick which of those games to watch. Gus, I'm pulling for Saniya BIG time.
I really hope she endures herself to the team, her teammates and management. I'd really like to see her develop into a "stalwart" in the league. I've followed her daily since draft day. If given time, I think she'll become a useful/dependable player.

She pulled off a minor miracle. She was drafted in the 3rd round, and still made the cut. If you follow the W, you know that very few 2nd round picks, and hardly any 3rd round picks make the final roster. I noticed two 1st round picks from two years ago get cut this year. You have to fight to keep your job every year. I follow the Liberty like I do the Sparks because of Tina and Kiah, and now Bria.

Me, too. I got it last year to see the big three, but wound up watching maybe 3-4 games. I've seen more Wings this year so far. I'm having such a blast watching her.

I always thought I was a little unusual in being so fond of Saniya. Judging by the love she's getting on the BY, and in this thread, I now realize I'm not alone by a longshot.
