Welcome to Aubrey Griffin and Jordan Horston!

Not for nothing, but if I was 16 or 17 and had an opportunity to visit schools, I would do it. Even if I knew where i was going.

Told my daughter to do it, even if she knew she wasn’t going. The opportunity will never come again. So I told to enjoy it all.

I’d call Chong an RBI single up the middle. Definitely a player you want around. Put 4 years in and didn’t play as much as expected coming out of hs and got recruited over by Nurse but did her job when needed.

I think Chong would have been remembered a lot differently by some, if she had not made that boneheaded play against MSU, that in all likelihood cost UConn the National Championship.

I started to say a 7-hop single up the middle, but I like your answer better. I'll add to it by saying she was batting 8th in the order.

Yes, she stands alone as the winningest four-year recruited scholarship player in UConn history, based on winning percentage.

Winningest in NCAA history.

Ossining players seem like an iffy proposition. Chong was decent and Andra Espinoza-Hunter was … well. Is Geno that desperate for a recruit? She may be good but the Ossining attitude regarding hard work and fitting Geno's system seems less than optimal.

This is an extremely overstated position maybe worse.
Chong was a solid player who contributed meaningfully her senior year. Don't think there was an issue with her working hard.
AEH obviously had problems in her short time at U Conn but few if any hear know really what it was about!

I was simply welcoming them on their Official Visit. If some over-eager fans read too much into the title, that’s not MY fault. ;)

This seems closer to a reasonable description of Chong.
She played very solidly in a needed position just about her whole senior year. She did hit a few big shots in important games and moments during the season.
While I don't hold her that responsible for the loss in the semi- finals two years ago it's hard to forget her big play when the game could have been won or at least gone into overtime. She did make a poor play there, but she truly was not a point guard and shouldn't have had the ball in her hands at that stage of the game.
Good solid support player!

New York money has found Milford. Any place on the water—including the river in Devon—is now upscale and $1M or more.

There was an article in the NYT about 15 years ago that said Milford was a more affordable alternative to the Hamptons. It was the first time I had ever seen them mentioned together. The very upscale oceanfront street in the Hamptons with the swimming pools and tennis courts costs $20-$50M.

My aunt and uncle owned the house and over the years many family members summered in Milford although they lived in NJ..........I'll never forget waking up in my cot on the screened in upstairs porch to the sound of the ocean and the seagulls at sunrise............my mom is in her eighties now and she misses Milford too

they certainly know each other but I don't know if they are close.....Coach Vic sure can reel them in and I have a feeling AEH will be happy to contribute to the conversation with her UConn war stories..on the other hand AEH is already complaining about the heat and the food down there on her twitter account...

Wait until she hears those damn cowbells! She will stuff the grits in her ears! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:Head bang

Is that what you call your wife? Rumpole of the Bailey , a great character on an old BBC series, referred to his wife as "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

That's taken from the English adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. His novel She,
first published in the 1880s, was the first use of SWMBO, now often contorted into SWAMBO.
