Jamelle.1. Jamelle Elliott- who I would have modeled my game after if I had been a basketball player. No nonsense, just get the job done to the best of your ability every time you are on the court. No excuses made, none tolerated.
2. Svetlana Abrosimova- it took a lot of courage and determination for her to come to UConn and she was so much fun to watch. Also, I loved the way she made Geno's head explode at times
3. Nika Muhl- I just love the way she plays. Whenever she steps on the court you just know something is going to happen.
There are others but those are my top 3.
Maya sang it with Kaili McLaren, too.Svet, because she was an outstanding player and had the ability, as Beemer said, to drive Geno crazy without even trying. Also liked Stacy Hansmeyer. She was the only UConn player that I remember to sing the national anthem solo before a game.
Kelly, Kia, and Gabby, because they all valued defense first.My top 5: Shea, Maya, Pheesa, Mosqueda-Lewis & Tina
HM: Rita, Berube ... Saylor
I'm a little surprised that there have only been a few mentions of Collier.So many over the years (for me since Rebecca Lobo), but if I had to go with one it would be Phee. Played as an undersized post for years, hustled every minute, never seemed disgruntled and, although an all American, I don’t think she ever gets the credit she deserves. Probably because her only natty was as a freshman. Real close for me are Paige, Kelly Faris, Kia Nurse and Nika.
Classic Nika..
