Brianna Steward receives most of the attention that is focused on UCONN Woman's Basketball, as well she should. Moriah Jefferson is the spark plug that runs this finely tuned machine and a complete fan favorite. Lou is now the fan’s, soon-to-be, next super star. Gabby and Napheesa are constantly receiving more and more fan support and acknowledgement of their increasing excellence on the court, and the high expectations for them next year Not enough good can be said about Morgan Tuck. A girl who has never played a day of college basketball (Crystal Dangerfield) is being herald as the next Moriah Jefferson and has the home base salivating at the thought. Some predict she will be starting really, really soon, next season. All this praise.
I am talking fan support here. Lots of praise for everyone, except, for Kia Nurse. Next year, Kia, becomes the hart and soul of this team. It will be Kia Nurse, on the horse, sword fully extended, leading the charge of the UCONN Huskies into battle. It is Kia Nurse who exemplifies the very essence of what coach Auriemma wants in a player - she is relentless, has no fear, always plays at 100% energy level, is very intelligent, and reacts very quick mentally to the flow of the game. She impacts the game in ways not obvious to many who look, but cannot see. However, the coaches SEE - they know how valuable she is to their success now and in the future.
We should really appreciate Kia more then we do.
