What are their majors?

[Mr.LoveThem]

First time poster here. Been following my beloved huskies a long time. I would like to know the current major of each player on the team.

Here's a link to your media guide.

i dont think the media guide has that information

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

I didn't specifically look for it, but they usually put stuff like that in their biographies. If it isn't there, then it likely isn't public info.

The only two players giving info on specific majors in the guide are

1) Molly Bent: 'an exploratory major' *whatever that is
2) Kyla Irwin: .speech, language and hearing science.

Crystal mentioned the other day in an after-practice interview that her major is Communications; she then said she wants to eventually be a Nike athletic shoe designer!

I thought she said she is taking calculus and accounting which does not sound like courses needed for a communication degree or designer. Did I get that mixed up?

I remember the end of her comments -- Communications , then a pause, then "I want to design shoes for Nike!" with the pause being because she understood that it didn't naturally follow from Communications but I don't remember the earlier part (calc / Acct). . I would have to find it and listen again

They major in basketball. No offense here, but none of these young ladies are going to be brain surgeons or rocket scientists, does it really matter? Notice how the players never have normal majors like regular students?

You're a dope.

Well that will jump start this thread.

Completely offensive. And remarkably uninformed. Contrary to your statement, UConn basketball has already produced a renowned surgeon. They major in a lot more than basketball, whereas you appear to have majored in cynicism.

I am quite sure that the reference to "Accounting: and "Calculus " were made by the announcers during the recent game about courses being taken by ONO, not Crystal.

Ok. Thanks. I know it was brought up on the SH game chat but the chat is not up anymore.

About as unaware as can be. Yeah, none of them have a brain and are counting on playing hoops until they are 75.

Speaking of surgeons, does anyone know how Miss Pulido is doing in pursuit of her medical degree?

Nope. It was about Crystal. They said she changed her major. Was having a "rough" semester because she was taking 2 math classes, accounting and calculus.

For what it’s worth, I believe Molly is carrying a 4.0. I would not be surprised if Med School is in her future.

Geeez, won't they get tired by then? Seems a nice degree in knitting would last longer.
The association with Uconn has gone a long way in helping Uconn women get great jobs--degree or no.

Lous older sister, Bonnie, is in Med School do be an Eye doctor. I think she has about one year left till she is done.

amazing what you can accomplish by majoring in basketball and skipping class

Most athletes in major sports do not major in STEM fields. Liberal arts fields which don't require lab courses or recitations, are much easier with the teams travel schedule. People often under estimate how much class time kids miss in sports like basketball, baseball, softball, etc... that play many away games on weekdays. Missing class time is much easier when you don't have lab required courses like in STEM.
