Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4383092, member: 5798"] On Thursday, UConn women’s basketball’s entire coaching staff met with the media. While we often hear from Geno Auriemma,[B] the assistants provided a different perspective than the head coach. Jamelle Elliott focuses on the bigs and Morgan Valley specializes in the guards, meaning they spend more time working with the players on an individual level and might have a different viewpoint on someone than Auriemma.[/B] Collectively, the coaching staff gave the most in-depth preview of the Huskies’ four new players that we’ve received so far. Valley on Lopez-Senechal: “She's amazing. She's just an awesome kid,” “She's a worker. She's blue collar — doesn't expect anything, doesn't ask for anything. She just puts her head down. We use this system called Catapult, her numbers are off the chain in workouts, the weights, the effort she puts into her workouts, the way she works out — she's here for a reason. It's fun and games, but it's not fun in games for her. She has goals of going to the WNBA and playing in Europe. So she's here for a reason.” I would love to get a 2 minute report on the progress of the players assigned to each coach once a week. That way we can stay informed and up to date on the progress of each player. [/QUOTE]
