UConn Signees: Christyn W. and ONO

[Sluconn Husky]

New 5-minute radio interview of Christyn Williams:

 

[NHFan]

I think she's going to be special. I'm hoping Maya/Stewie/Dee special. But I'd be thrilled if she was Tina/KLS/Moriah special.

One thing that is extra exciting to see is a player who can dribble and layup the ball using her off hand. I LOVE seeing that - some kids NEVER learn to "go left" if they are right handed, but she seems like she can go both ways. Super excited to see her in a UCONN uniform!!

I really miss Stewie

New 5-minute radio interview of Christyn Williams:

I really, really like this young person's personality and part of it in particular - no calculation, direct. A little contradictory about her commitment decision. Her she says pretty strongly that she was pretty much sold on her unofficial quite a while back, she also said she didn't know until 2 weeks before she announced, yet she said she and her family looked at each other on the Official and everyone knew "this is it."

There were about 4-1/2 weeks between her visit and her announcement so she was 2+ weeks off in her assessment. Perhaps she just got the timeline confused. Teenagers often have other things on their minds.

I don't think that she necessarily was contradictory at all. It is possible that up to 2 weeks before she didn't know how she was going to decide...but, after she made her decision she realized that the things that went into her decision went back to her unofficial visit to the the campus.

Reminder that Olivia's team plays at the Myrtle Beach tourney on Dec. 19/20/21/22.
I would think that she will meet an elite big somewhere along the line. 4 games in 4 days?
I wonder if one of our staff might go down to see her on Wednesday and/or Thursday and then fly to Toronto to be at Kia's game.

She has to be available to play first. She sat out the last game for some reason and had missed an earlier game due to illness.

@Sluconn Husky any word on ONO? My stomach has been in knots since Friday 12/15.

Haven't found anything yet, but Winder Barrow opens play at Crescom tonight so we'll have an idea then. I'm guessing it's not too bad an injury since she's questionable and not a definite out.

To offer a somewhat positive note... maybe she has the flu?

Relieved that she is playing through last year's injury and hopefully she has great doctor making sure she takes small steps.
