Will UConn Sign a Polish Player?

[UConnCat]

Is there any factual information regarding mutual interest behind this story? Seems like it could be a guess someone made then the Internet press jumped on board.

Carl Adamec wrote the story.

Polish player could be in UConn women's recruiting mix

Geno needs the bodies for next year. However the more urgent need is players with Size. It good to see that Camara is considering coming back next year. There should be plenty of playing time for her.

I'm flying the Polish flag...

From what I read, the below quote right from the top of the article, does make it sound as if she wants to play for UConn.

We went through this with Ezi, from down under only to break UConn's and especially out hearts. (what a thing to say on Valentine's Day). Time will tell.

Two different players with two different skill sets. Coombs a true point guard with defensive skills. Molly gets flustered bringing ball up but surprisingly to me, has developed a good 3 point shot and moves well within the offensive rotation.

Molly could be PG or SG. She has an enormous skill set and a PG brain. She just can't seem to relax into the game. If she had gone Ivy League she's be POY for 3 years. The whole perfection for Geno and playing time whammy has been her locked in her head thinking too much.[/QUOTE]
You have obviously never watched an Ivy League team play.

What do we think the time frame on this is?

Nope, not this Cornell, Harvard guy who hates Princeton - best coach fantastic run a couple of years ago. Watched Harvard and Columbia a few days ago, and that was painful

I'm a firm believer in the old adage about arguing with a fool and I never do. So I'm blocking you now.

At the risk of dragging this thread on topic, Makurat struggled a bit with her shooting again in a close loss for her team: Koszykówka - Basket Liga Kobiet

Thanks for bringing things back on topic. The long range shooting seemed to be a challenge but looks like she still impacted the game from the other stats which is what Geno looks for.

I love you impassioned view of Molly but you’ve gotten a tad carried away with this skill assessment as there is a young woman named Bella Alarie at Princeton that is worlds better than Molly. So no, just no on the Ivy POY talk.

20 minutes.

(It's a men's board thing.)

It's amazing what you can learn from starting from the top isn't it @mbr33ct.

Makurat played again as her team signed a WNBA player:

9 points, 5 assists on 3-10 shooting.

Anna’s team plays first place CCC Polkiwice (Tiff Hayes, Jas Thomas, Tami Fagbenle) on Wed 2/27. Arka Gdynia signed Nia Coffey which probably means Rebecca Allen won’t return from injury.

Another tough shooting day for her:

Tip had 6 points in the win.

Tough shooting day a lot of players in this game. Tip 2/10, Jasmine Thomas 1/7, Makurat 1/8. Big games for 2 players, Fagbenle and Coffey.

 

[awhom111]

Her latest game:

It was a pretty solid game for her although the team has lost five of six with a very tough stretch, which will hurt their playoff seeding.

Doesn't her team losing help us? I mean if their season ends early, maybe she can fly over for a visit, see the team and meet the coaching staff.

I did hear Geno say on his post game presser that he and CD were staying in Florida while the team flew back, I wonder if they plan on having Lunch with Laksa's parents and talk about the UConn graduate programs...

Be nice but would have to be subversive......

 

[UConnCat]

The game was not shown on the team's youtube channel but here are some highlights. Anna makes a couple of shots, a nice pass and gets blown by on defense.

If she's not an AA today we don't want her! I forget, was Sveta an AA in her freshman year?

No, but Sveta was our first 3-time AA.

 

[Charliebball]

But that kind of shot has nothing to do with a basketball.

typical capitalist answer......................

 

[Gus Mahler]

There are parallels between Molly and Coombs. What is holding them back - same issue, but Molly has more schooled basketball aptitude. What to do. What to do.

Shall we take a Pole?
