UConn Women's Incoming Class Getting Acclimated To Husky Way

[Carnac]

On their Snapchat stories, they've been calling themselves the "Fantastic Four."

"It's a lot to live up to," Mikayla Coombs said.

It will take a few years before UConn basketball fans know if the celebrated incoming freshman class is packed with superheroes. And one month into their life in Storrs, the Fantastic Four understand their spot in Husky Universe.

In fact, the title of their group text is a more accurate depiction of their place: "Freshies." Jumping into the deep end of the pool with the most demanding and successful program in the country, the four highly recruited players are adjusting and learning to keep their heads above water.

They were at the Hartford Golf Club on Monday for the annual Geno Auriemma's Fore The Kids Charity Golf Tournament, which supports the orthopedics program at Connecticut Children's Medical Center. The entire UConn roster was at the event, including transfers Azura Stevens and Batouly Camara.

I can only imagine the comments if a ND or TN frosh class used that phrasing.

It's OK for UConn players because they back it up.

Nah, it's dopey for everyone. Don't take a victory lap before you've won anything.

That said, they are kids. The confidence is charming in its own way. Geno will "get their minds right" soon enough.

TN an ND fan board would have the same reaction for their players as Uconn Fan's now have for these
Nice 4 kids---now that you have defined yourselves as Fantastic---prove it on the court.
That's a term best left to the Fans---
Geno recruits top players with EGO's (not a bad word, it means they have ultra confidence)--and these 4 are no less--every time I think Ego--I immediate think DT---wonder why???

Geno is going to have a heyday with this when they screw up. I am sure this will happen once or twenty seven times during the season. He will be dripping with sarcasm, really.

 

[CL82]

You know, within their life's experience they've been extraordinarily successful and now they are joining the best program in the country. Why wouldn't they be confident?

 

[Vowelguy]

... when they screw up. I am sure this will happen once or twenty seven times during the season.

The frosh will screwup 27 times in the 1st practice. At least.

And they will find out they can't guard a chair.

And they will find out they can't guard a chair.

I'm confident though that they can jump higher than a sheet of paper.

Further! Even all of us here could jump higher.
