UConn Signees: Christyn W. and ONO

[Sluconn Husky]

Nelson-Ododa will square off against potential UConn target Natalija Marshall tomorrow.

Turns out Nelson-Ododa was NOT hurt last week. She missed a game after attending a relative's funeral outside Georgia and then getting caught up in a snowstorm trying to get back.

I’m sorry to hear that Liv had a death in the family, but relieved that she wasn’t injured again.

Nelson-Ododa hasn't been the same this year. Don't know if it's the time off or if she's still recovering but she's not the dominant player she was leading up to the injury. Struggled in WB's loss at the Crescom tonight. In her defense, she has no help whatsoever. Still, concerned about her return to form.

She split free throws with 6 seconds left when she needed to make both to tie.

10 points (2-7 fg, 5-10 ft), 6 rebounds, 5 TO's

After such a horrendous injury - with almost a year's worth of recovery time, and now grieving a death in the family, Liv needs time. Give her the next couple of months, and she will show us some of her greatness once again, I believe.

 

[Eggman]

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

Could be difficult, 'cause she has pretty long legs.

Christyn looks like another ankle breaker. Geno says that Crystal goes wherever she wants. I'd say the same about Christyn. I think she could have attacked the seams of Maryland's zone today.

I love her use of the right hand. She's not a true lefty. I believe that Paul Westphal was ambidextrous. Christyn is another.

Well I looking forward to a southpaw shooter even if it's fake.
I can't even remember the last one.

Much better game for Olivia Nelson-Ododa Friday night at the Crescom Classic.

18 points (6-11 fg, 6-8 ft), 11 rebounds in 32 minutes

Winder-Barrow won and will play one more game there tomorrow.

Winder-Barrow got soundly beaten in their final game of the Crescom Classic Saturday morning, but Nelson-Ododa had a nice game.

21 points (6-9 fg, 9-14 ft), 6 rebounds

She finished at 49% from the field and 63% from the line during the 4-game tourney.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Olivia Nelson-Ododa had 12 points, 5 blocks, and 4 assists Saturday (12/9).

I gather she is relatively healthy now?

 

[Gus Mahler]

She is going to have to compete big time for ---nicest smile!! She and Napheesa sided by side smiling will light up the gym..

Have you seen ONO's?

I don't need Carnac's envelopes to know that ONO is going to look great in a UConn uniform next year.

Not sure she was ever injured. Missed the first game of the season with an illness and another recently after attending a relative's funeral.

Thanks. I was responding to your post from way back when. Haven't read this thread for a while.

I was wondering if she is fully recovered from her injury from last year.

She's going to learn how to run up the court as a Husky. This lopping stuff won't cut it.

41 points for Christyn Williams in CAC's overtime win Thursday.

This is consistent with 2 aspects of Christyn's game: (1) she is a prolific scorer and (2) she is clutch when the game is on the line.
