UConn Freshmen/Commits: C. Collier, Coombs, AEH, Gordon, Walker

[j66kicker]

Not sure if this has been posted, Walker talks about winging her state title, and some game highlights. She has really good size!

"Ever since 9th grade I haven't had a normal life."

Ha. Well it's not getting ready to get more normal now, so fasten your seatbelt!

The first real insight into her recruiting in an AP article springing up here and there. Geno sure has refined his pitch.

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-st...cruit-watching-march-run-waiting-for-her-turn

"Walker, who averaged 26 points and eight rebounds as a senior, said she and her classmates all understand they probably would put up bigger numbers in another program.
But they were convinced to come to UConn by Auriemma, who likes to ask recruits what they would do would do if they were the best singer in the world. Would they want to headline in Branson, Missouri? Or would they rather try to make it big on Broadway?"

BTW, apparently those who said "he had me at hello", were right.

As noted, that video was from the Virginia championship game--the biggest game of the season for Monacan. Look at the range of what Meg does--make shots from inside and outside, handle the ball, block shots, etc. As with Maya, Meg does whatever is needed to get the win. This is why Geno is excited about her. Meg's game is VERY multi-dimensional.

AEH 32 points!
Ossining advances to NYS AA final with 76-70 victory over Our Lady of Mercy.

Congrats to Andi and Ossining!

AEH needs 24 points to a 1000 for the season!

AEH needs 24 points to a 1000 for the season!

Ossining will probably need all of those 24 points to win the game. Imagine winning the championship and scoring 1000 career points in the same game.

Isn't Andre playing for the championship tonight?

Tough way to end the season for Andi and Ossining, but they had a great run.

Interesting Geno interview points about recruiting and player/coach expectations...........found it on Meg W's twitter so she clearly knows what she is getting in to

Geno Auriemma's advice: Body language matters, on court and on bench

Speaking of body language, Notre Dame's looked terrible in the 4th quarter last night.

Our team has chemistry that matches or exceeds the best I've seen at UConn. That's a huge reason why they are so good.

LOVE IT!

There's SO much wisdom in Geno's coaching that surpasses basketball. His head is not in the clouds of idealism, yet he is a man driven by a set of core values that are binding and effective.
