Maturity, integrity, and class. Auriemma's right, she acts about 32. I'm really rooting for this kid.

Gandy could be a fill-in for Sarah in front of the press. She's totally at ease in that environment. Can see why Geno basically called her an old soul.

Strong would be all for that! Probably discussing it with her already.

 

[HuskyNan]

Gandy does seem very mature. I don't detect any accent from New Jersey, Ireland, or Africa. Impressive!

There is a whisper of Ireland in her speech. It’s lovely

I thought I heard 1 or 2 Canadian pronunciations.

 

[Geew1992]

Yeah, I understand Geno's comments.

I'm an idiot though. I couldn't figure out why she would go with "Big Fish". Everyone has been calling her Kelis so much.....I completely forgot she's Fisher. Doh!

Anyway, all I could think of was

There is a video of her saying that nickname has been in the family and was passed down to her

I wish we had of heard from Jana......!

 

[OldSchooler]

Thank you. Great bunch of interviews.

Caroline is so articulate, free-flowing and ready to lead. Definitely the team's spokesperson, filling the role Paige vacated.

Ash - ultimate team player. Like I said elsewhere, she'll make a great co-captain next year on a 2-time-defending-NC team. (Whoops, sorry, we're doomed.)

Yanna - Big surprise to me, but consistent with everything we're hearing. Looking for strong upside this year.

Gandy - Biggest surprise of all. Level of maturity bowled me over.

Kelis - Let's see what this dynamo's got.

And we haven't even heard from the top two players on the team.

Bring this season on!

 

[Cuango]

Anyone know why we didn’t hear from Allie? Was Jana gone?

 

[RedStickHusky]

"Let's get to work". I'm gonna like this kid.

 

[psconn]

OMG. What a delightful young lady Gandy is. So mature and poised under the questioning. I can see why Geno says she's 18 going on 32.

 

[psconn]

"Let's get to work". I'm gonna like this kid.

Kelis! OMG another absolutely delightful new player. Again, Geno's comment rings true... Kelis is 18 going on 12! Love this kid. What a combo she and KK must be!!

 

[psconn]

Since my phone is my recording device, I was unable to get video of Azzi, KK and Kayleigh crashing Kelis' avail. Here's video of the interaction

Puts the other video in perspective. I don't know where this all ends this season but fun will be had along the way!!

They’re gonna drive Geno crazy

My guess is that the rest of the players will be interviewed this coming week. Sarah, of course, was in Mongolia.

WFSB and CTInsider didn't send a press posse with her? I hear Ulaan Baatar is great this time of year!
