UConn in the WNBA

[ochoopsfan]

Not sure what Gabby's status will be in the WNBA and/or overseas.
I dont recall if I posted this elsewhere. This is from a press release last week from Gabby's French League team LDLC ASVEL Feminim
I translated it, from French and added the link below. Must be some upheavel as 6 players wont be back, along with the coach. The other players not back are in the article.

I’ll be cheering for Karlie, along with Stef and Liya!

Good for the Big East but, lol, most of them are Huskies.

Trivia: Four of those Huskies never played in the Big East. UConn was in the AAC for 7 seasons from 2013-14 to 2019-20, during those seasons these 4 current WNBA players completed their entire collegiate career:

• Kia Nurse (2014-2018)
• Naphessa Collier (2015-2019)
• Katie Lou Samuelson (2015-2019)
• Crystal Dangerfield (2016-2020)

Yeah that's like trying to claim the 2014-16 titles as Big East titles.

Wow, Tony Parker (Ex San Antonio Spurs point guard) is the owner of the franchise. I was under the impression that the players really liked him, and vice versa. Stephanie Dolson went over there and played for that franchise this past winter and indicated how much she thought of him.

It might be a situation that Gabby, Marine, and Endy are planning to come back to the WNBA next season and due to the prioritizing rule, they have to make a choice. I saw a video interview with Marine Johannes, where she explained that the reason she would not be playing with the N.Y. Liberty this season is due to her commitment to the French Team, and the Paris Olympics. That said, it was a commitment to France, not necessarily a commitment to EuroLeague or LDLC ASVEL.

I know I’m getting hammered for this but, Stewie is not exactly lighting it up. I realize this is only her first reg season game but she didn’t look good in preseason either. Can she still be the dominant player we’ve come to expect? Another thing I don’t get is KLS only getting two shots in the Fever’s opener. Surely she’s one of their better shooters on that team? I realize they were playing a top three team but Indiana did not look good today. Boston scored 6 points and only took six shots while, not surprisingly, Clark had ten turnovers. Aaliyah actually looked pretty good in her game. I think she's going to do well.

Why didn’t Mühl play? I thought Dorka was back?

Nika still working on visa problem and Dorka still playing in Europe

 

[From France]

Dorka is still in Italy, playing the finals

I spy with my little eye - Kiah

Sometimes it seems people forget just how great a player Diana is

Ah I thought Dorka was supposedly back.

 

[Skeets]

The rule is unfair to foreigner players who must play training camps

The W doesn't want to be the farm system or part-time gig for the overseas leagues. The solution? Grow the $$$.

A little different rules for first and second year players they can finish put season in Europe.then she willl be back

Kiah now has 5 rings.

 

[huskyhaven]

Kia and her brother have a strong resemblance

Kia has a child?

 

[HuskyNan]

Kia has a child?

I think the little boy is one of her nephews. It looks like Kia’s sister in law, Mikayla, is standing next to her

Do they get rings for over seas? If so, she has 6 or 7.

Tonight, we'll see what former MVP Tina Charles stilll have in her hands (and legs).

 

[Bone Dog]

In the Suns-Fever game, Liv wore something that looked like a knee brace on her right leg. Did she suffer an injury, or was that just kinesio tape?
