I am amazed. Not that she committed, but we went for her. Oh well, what do I know.

Welcome to the squad, Ms. Chen!! Super excited to have you on the team. I do like this addition, but we will see how it all plays out but I do like the addition of Ms. Chen. Folks forget the fullcourt press Princeton put on us last year, that darn near won them the game. Guess who sparked that intense fullcourt defense? Yep. Ms. Chen. Kaitlyn's intensity on the defensive end, could. hopefully, encourage Coach G to apply a fullcourt defense. Put some pressure other teams for once.

Answer...K. Chen had no more eligibility at Princeton... IVY LEAGUE RULES.
Ivy League does not allow grad students to play. The league also cancelled all winter sports in 2020-2021 due to Covid, so next year could be considered her Covid year.

I agree, I think that sometimes the portal can be prosperous and sometimes it can be poison.

It does have a medical school, a top 10 nursing school, the #26 ranked pharmacy school, and the #2 ranked kinesiology school in the country.

She is a fabulous addition to the team. I just shake my head wondering why people question this portal addition. Did folks question when Lou Lopez Senechal or Dorka joined the squad? Chen is an experience, intelligent point guard that will add to the team. It would appear that wishing for’a big’ or a rebounder from the portal is blinding the vision. Geno knows a thing or two, more than what I claim to know. The team made it to the Final Four with a four guard lineup. I love their chances next year. Chen gives the young people experience and poise. Look at what Lou did. Questioning Geno and his staff just continues to amaze me…
The have a Master's in Public Health that would be a great complement to a med anth major.

One of the best things about adding Kaitlyn is that we should be able to rotate our back court players in such a way as to always have some experience out there with the underclassmen, and also to have some fresh legs even at the end of the game. (Not so much in the front court, but that's another thread.)
I know tht the Boneyard's a place for assuming and opinions but it's great whn ACTUAL facts are posted, we all get a little bit smarter whn tht happens.It does have a medical school, a top 10 nursing school, the #26 ranked pharmacy school, and the #2 ranked kinesiology school in the country.

Don't you remember? Lots of folks questioned adding Lou. Loads of posts about how she'd never get her shot off, that her experience at a mid-major wouldn't translate, that she'd just ride the bench. And then there was the chorus who objected to calling her Lou. Of course, once the season started, they started singing a different tune. Once Kaitlyn gets some game experience at UConn, she'll quickly become a BY favorite.

I stand corrected. So the rule should be, either get yourself a dominant post or 3 x AA forwards like Swin, Tamika & Asjha.

I have been called out several times on that season. I plead “old & senile.”

She isn't coming to UConn for the classroom educational opportunities - she is coming for the basketball.

UConn has both a terminal Masters and PhD in Anthropology with a Medical Anthropology specialty. Undergraduate course work would include the various cultural anthropology offerings plus a good dose of biology courses - genetics, biochemistry et al. To get the doctorate she'd have to complete all the Masters requirements plus do the PhD work.
It doesn't seem to me that it's the kind of graduate level academic path to choose unless you plan to use it at some point.

The situations are not the same with Lou and Chen. UConn needed guards when Lou was recruited. They have plenty of guards for next season. Chen may help. As long as it does not demoralize the new young guards, I am for it. The comparison does not compute.
And how do you know this?She isn't coming to UConn for the classroom educational opportunities - she is coming for the basketball.

This is a huge get at the right time. We are a very young talented team with huge potential. Chen gives us another point guard who is a scorer. Now all we need is Beets and turn out the lights. Chen and Beers gives UConn time to develop without pressure on the underclassmen. They will get their minutes and time to develop. With Chen and Beers this is a whole new level.

In the videos, she looks remarkably like Paige- great ball handler, passer, mid-range jumper, athletic moves in the paint and a silky-smooth 3-point shot.
Overall, a great Paige-like decision-maker.
A fabulous addition. She will be an impact player.
There are periods in the season where there are a lot of games close together. This is when players get worn out and injured. With this backcourt. Players will be able to do low minutes and even sit-out games.
This depth will also be important in the post-season.

Lou committed before Paige and Azzi were hurt. Geno started recruiting her during the Final Four in Paige’s freshman year

That would be epic!! If we just installed whatever press that works with the team and just open up the gates. I keep waiting for that moment to happen. I mean we did a lot of trapping in the halfcourt, which allowed the team to be aggressive at times but to turn it up a notch and go fullcourt with this athlete group. That would be nice. I just want us to be in attack mode from the opening tip to the end of the game. With the addition of Kaitlyn, it does allow us that opportunity.
