UConn Signees: Christyn W. and ONO

[donalddoowop]

I watched the game on the NFHS Network. It seemed to me her offense left a lot to be desired. I think she could have done so much more offensively.

 

[DEpup]

Haha funny.

Riverview Coach Ryan Smith quipped he was glad to not have to coach against Williams anymore after Friday.


"I won't be the only one, either," Smith said. "But I told her it was a lot of fun these last four years. She's a great player."

....

Smith said Williams' third-quarter performance was too much for the Lady Raiders to overcome.


"That's why she's going to UConn," Smith said. "She's by far the best player I've coached against. There's no doubt."


Williams adds cherry to CAC run

Williams has a strong frame, she should be able to get to the line a lot an finish. Her jumper is pretty smooth it looks sorta like Diamond DeShields jump shot.

i know this may sound too far, but Williams' moves and gracefulness reminds me of the big O.

Who is the big O?

Morgan Wooten player of the year nominees:

Who might get the award?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Who might get the award?

Probably either Williams or Collier is my guess.

 

[eebmg]

Williams it is.

The award was made for UConn players

I think Christyn is 3 for 3. Does that sound correct?

Winning the Gatorade National Player Of The Year would make her 4 for 4.

Who is the big O?

Seriously?

 

[oldude]

Seriously?

Note the poster’s handle, specifically “pup.” Probably doesn’t know who the Big “E” is either. That’s the kind of stuff that old farts like me know.

The Great Candace Parker is the only Junior to win the award, I don't think Sam will win, but it would be something to see, still to be a finalists is a big deal with all the other good seniors out there.

I'm 43 so the big O to me means Oprah Winfrey and that didnt seem right in the context.

Consider yourself lucky. I wish I was 43 and didn’t know who the Big O is.

I only saw Oscar at the end of his career with Jabbar in Milwaukee I believe so I missed his many good years

While attending a Laker game about 10 years ago, I decided to visit the snack bar. As I was going up the stairs, who do I see sitting all alone to my right? Oscar Robertson (Mr. triple double). I stopped long enough to shake his hand and said hello, then moved on. I'm sure he was in no mood to entertain a random fan, so I left the man alone and moved on. The one thing I took away from that encounter was that Robertson had one of the largest hands I've ever shaken. My hand disappeared in his. He was gracious and did not appeared annoyed with being recognized. I'm taller than Robertson (6'5"), and I can palm a basketball, but his hands dwarfed mine.
