Update on former UCONN players at their new schools

[EricLA]

For those not interested, please feel free to skip the thread or put it on ignore. No need to make comments about not being interested, or why bother with former players. There are those of us who follow former UCONN players no matter where they end up.

DeJanae Boykin - 2 years ago, at PSU, averaged just under 6 PPG and 8 RPG, but chose to transfer to West Virginia. Sat out last season, but underwent surgery in early November to correct a deformed bone in her foot and is out for the rest of this season. Hopefully can suit up next season after rehab.

Andra Espinosa-Hunter - Played 15 games last year after becoming eligible for the 2nd half of the season. Averaged 9 PPG starting every game. This season, has been coming off the bench and averages 15 MPG and 6.7 PPG.

Lexi Gordon - Played in 6 games and started 3. Averaging 27 MPG and 14.5 PPG. Also 86% FT's and 52% 3-pointers. IMHO TTU had a dreadful OOC schedule. Houston Baptist, Louisiana Monroe, Prarie View, etc etc. did not prepare them for anything. I'm sure there are lots of RPI stats, but the one i looked up has them dead last in their own conference with a RPI of 227. Point is everyone will have great stats basically playing exhibition games, but things should change as the competition gets tougher.

Mikayla Coombs - Found a home at Georgia. Has to sit out this year and will be eligible next year.

Courtney Ekmark - Finished her hoops career at ASU last season BUT is apparently still enrolled working on her law degree, which she should complete in 2020.

Sadie Edwards - Finished her degree and hoops career at USC. Currently is a Grad assistant for Indiana University, pursuing her masters in Sports Administration.

Very nice post Eric. Always curious to see how the ex-huskies are making out. TKU

Lexi had a good game yesterday even though TT got blow out by Iowa St. She does look more fit, the time off and change in her body looks like it helped her out a lot. I’m not sure if she would get minutes this season if she stayed, but if the team needed a 3 point shooter off the bench, Lexi could have developed a nice role for herself doing that.
