Thanks so much for posting!
Kia is just so suave in front of cameras. She has a real natural talent for speaking so well to an audience behind the lens she never sees. I smile every time I hear her speak =D who wouldnt?
It's pretty clear UCONN has a unique oportunity for its players and the media seeing all the exposure and chances they get to be in front of America's eyes. It's no wonder you see so many former players as leaders wherever they end up, especially the coaches (and there's too many to list) and the ones who have broken thru to ESPN, SNY, and many other outlets.
It's the branches of the UCONN family that just reach out so far and wide it's astounding.
P.S. I think we owe most of this to CD, and the way she grooms the young ladies into superstars and role models.

Other teams do this stuff too. This kind of public outreach is not unique to UConn.

This posting is both so touching and speaks to how truly incredible Kia, KLS and so many of the current and former players have become and are. Yes it surely seems that much of this is continually re-enforced by CD. And yes, other programs do much of the same. But the culture developed here combined with the unmatched basketball successes brings it to another level.
Truly loved it!

They should be applauded for it as well. That doesn’t diminish the importance of these young ladies learning and demonstrating good citizenship.

Jim Fuller yesterday: " At halftime patients from the Connecticut Children's Medical Center were recognized along with nurse Heather Buck, yes the same Heather Buck who used to play at UConn. The UConn players got to know the patients during visits to the hospital making for an emotional greeting." The New Haven Register Blogs: Elm City to Eagleville
