People have these huge expectations for me and I haven’t played a game yet. There’s just really high expectations, and I feel like there’s pressure put on me to perform and be the reason that UConn is on top again, but I don’t think any of that is true. And coach ([B]Geno Auriemma[/B]) tells me that like I don’t need to worry about the pressure and just need to worry about the team, and that’s who I’ve always been. "I’ve tried not to have doubts when noise gets me good or bad. … Obviously I can’t ignore it, but just push it to the side. I’m really just focused on earning the respect of my teammates, and my coaches, and just coming in, doing the right thing, playing selfless and doing whatever the team needs. And whatever happens, happens." [URL unfurl="true"]https://sports.yahoo.com/uconn-debut-approaching-top-recruit-145654592.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
