Players on campus for summer workouts

[CocoHusky]

I'm so confused. Didn't we have a whole thread last month saying that AE had moved on from the purple and gold (Kobe tribute) braids.

Shows what “WE” know. Low maintenance during sports.

 

[The deacon]

Lovin' it all, especially what we can see of Ayanna, and of course those magical smiles of Aubrey and Azzi. No one knows what Aubrey will bring to the team this coming season, but it's just wonderful to see her smile!

 

[nastynatty]

Doesn’t seem like Nika is back from Croatia yet. Also wondering why Azzi was only shown on the sidelines?

 

[Carnac]

That’s not Evina…that’s Aubrey!!!

Kaizen, if you can’t tell recognize ALL of our current players in or out of uniform, we may have to ask you to turn in your UConn/Boneyard fan credentials. We’ll give you a mulligan this time.

 

[CL82]

Sorry, I was thinking Aubrey but for some reason typed Evina.. my mistake.
May be they both have the same smile .

Tough recognize Aubrey without the game bun.

Boy I’ll tell ya Patterson looks to be a real physical specimen.

Ayanna and Ice both look very strong. Together with Aaliyah we'll have a very tough rotation.

 

[Bald Husky]

The video is great. But I really want to see Paige dropping dimes near the rim for Ayanna to throw down….

Relax OD, it will be coming. Be patient.

 

[Bald Husky]

I like what I see of Lou2.

 

[eebmg]

Listening more carefully, both Lou and Ayanna got multiple "Good" s from Geno.

When Paige does her usual, Geno does not say anything. "Of course, she can do anything" Saving his good's for others.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Lou's shooting looks good, me likey!

Lou is a BUCKET. She made 3 jumpers in that short video.

UConn offense built for these type of players. See the shot, take the shot, make the shot!

Quick release. Strong smooth wrist action

Where is Ice? I can't find her in the video.

 

[Bone Dog]

She's not in the video. U18

Yep that's her. Someone replied she's a team manager. I wasn't sure who she was. I guess I'll see when more videos come out. Thanks.

 

[CocoHusky]

Where is Ice? I can't find her in the video.

Ice Brady was at USA basketball trials and not in the video. Ice made USA basketball U18 team and will be playing in FIBA America in Buenos Aires from June 13-19.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but for a video about one of the first summer sessions, would you expect it to contain anything but good (made) shots?

No, most players shoot 100% in highlights. But I like that she was involved and not on the bench, her form looked solid, and she looked comfortable shooting off the handoff or quick pass. Based on limited video, it seems that she will fit into the offense very well.

 

[jabstep]

Lou is a scorer and the more scorers on the court for our offense the better. She seemed to be able to get her shot off against a good defensive team, Texas in the tourney last year. I think she will be a big help for us by either starting or coming off the bench. Geno sill teach her defense if she isn't already a good defender.

Well....this team needs to work on rebounding -allegedly. You can't practice rebound when you are making every shot.

But I do admit wishing we can see some nice boxout drills.

 

[Huskee11]

I thought Geno short-armed his phantom jump shot.

But I thought the players looked good.

 

[Longtime fan]

Coaches are permitted up to 8 hrs per week of “skills” training during summer workouts.

I wonder how this " rule" was created, and why? Seems pretty lame.

 

[oldude]

Not really. Coaches used to find all sorts of creative ways to get around NCAA rules prohibiting coaching players in the summer. The NCAA finally established a hard and fast rule that allowed coaches a maximum of 8 hrs working with players in any and all capacities during summer months, period.
