UConn Women’s Basketball Freshman Christyn Williams Not Short on Confidence
"Samuelson had high praise for the freshman."
“I think Christyn has stepped up in a big way for us,” Samuelson said. “She’s in a unique position where she kind of fits in with our group that we have out there. You know, losing that two guard in Kia [Nurse], she can step in there and she plays well with us.”
"Crystal Dangerfield likes what she sees so far from Williams."
“Playing with Christyn is great,” Dangerfield said. “As another guard, she can take care of the ball just as well as I can, so I can play off the ball.”
"Dangerfield also noted that the pace is definitely faster when Williams is on the court."
“We get up and down the floor, and I think that’s just going to be the trend for our team the entire year: to get up and down the floor as quick as we can,” Dangerfield said.
"Even head coach Geno Auriemma, who is often quick to criticize his freshman, seems impressed with her performance so far."
“Christyn Williams has come in as a freshman and kind of not acted like one,” Auriemma said. “She doesn’t have the mindset of a freshman”.
“She’s supremely talented and she’s supremely confident,” Auriemma said. “[Williams] has an aggressive mentality.”
“We’re going to get that championship,” Williams said back in June. “People are going to feel UConn. We’re going to win a national championship.”
When asked about it at AAC media day, Auriemma said Williams apologized to him for the comment about a week later via text, to which he replied, “I’m glad you said it, because now you have to live up to it.”

What is she going to be like 10 games into the season, after she gets her "sea legs" and becomes accustom to her teammates and the speed of the game? It won't take her long to make these adjustments.
