Thanks for the links.

She has a sweet step back move to set up her three. Kind of reminds me of Nurse.

Can get off the floor too.

A stat line I wouldn't mind seeing her duplicate for her first game in uniform for UConn.

Her jumper was very Cappie Pondexter like in a few of the highlights.

I’m all in for this young lady, and I am glad she is going to be a Husky. But it really is hard to get a good idea of her play when it is against such really dreadful opponents.

Gotta make those FTs in a close game!

Wow so glad she's a Husky!

Good choice on both sides!

 

[EricLA]

I think she's going to be special. I'm hoping Maya/Stewie/Dee special. But I'd be thrilled if she was Tina/KLS/Moriah special.

One thing that is extra exciting to see is a player who can dribble and layup the ball using her off hand. I LOVE seeing that - some kids NEVER learn to "go left" if they are right handed, but she seems like she can go both ways. Super excited to see her in a UCONN uniform!!

Woe, woe, woe..slow down there my former EricSD now in the land of make believe-the jury is still out on KLS as she is certainly showing in improved game on top of being an All-American from last year. To me, the team is significantly better with her healthy and on the floor than with any of the others. But I digress, yes, CW has already made numerous USA Teams at younger ages than most and seems to have a higher drive button than most. That said, I want to see this year's star freshman improve and dominate. As similar to what I noted about CW, MW has also made numerous USA Teams at younger than most and was a starter on virtually all of them. I don't think we've seen truly what she can do.

TITLE TOWN: A gem for sure - and she can play, too. What a wonderful addition.

 

[Go/huskies]

Williams comes off as a small town kid, who is both grateful and humbled that she has the chance to go to Uconn, what's not to love. I agree with EricLA, I think she will challenge for a Uconn Mount Rushmore spot.

 

[BroadwayVa]

Wow so glad she's a Husky!

Good choice on both sides!

She is going to have to compete big time for ---nicest smile!! She and Napheesa sided by side smiling will light up the gym..

 

[Go/huskies]

There are some videos/pictures of Williams wearing #13 also. Either one should be available next year though.

Williams posted on social media recently that she wears #13 because of her sister, so I’m sure she’ll go with that number at Uconn, last worn by Brianna Banks and Jacquie Fernandes.

 

[Rocket009]

Woe, woe, woe..slow down there my former EricSD

I can understand that EricLA's comments caused you great sorrow and distress, but if you simply wanted him to slow down then you needed to "whoa" him.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

On Geno: "He's the goofiest guy, just like me..." Got a kick out of that. He knows how to make people comfortable. From Rebecca to Chrystin Williams with a little Jaime Nared thrown in for good measure.

Thanks for sharing! She's a UConn girl all the way
