Speaking of Connecticut, I just read that Auriemma is "working on a press." Since now they begin their cupcake run until our game, he probably really IS preparing for Tennessee (and South Carolina) already. They certainly won't have to do anything but show up with at least five players to beat everyone between now and our game, so they'll be more than prepared since they can plan and plan some more for us and South Carolina.

I hope she stays with us all four years she is going to be quite a player as a junior and senior. She is already a terrific player, but her potential is very high.

Yes!

The portal is robbing us fans of the joys of watching a player develop and achieve their potential. There's something parental in being a high school or college sports fan.

Not a criticism, but something that would add immensely to Kaniya's game next season would be some time spent with a track coach on running technique. When she sprints, you see the all out effort--but she looks like a gangly 8th grader with arms and legs going everywhere. Efficiency of motion would take her game to another level, given her many other abilities.

Safe to say, efficiency of energy and motion take on special importance in CKC's game.

Jewel Spear as stated upthread may not be a WNBA player, but her last few games has been balling. And she is smiling in every interview and post game interviews. She has won me back over last few games.

Actually, Wynn may be able to help. Wasn’t Wynn a track first athlete in Texas?

Do you think Wynn can help us next year?

Absolutely! Get her healthy, and she’ll be a shut down defender. The question is how does she come back from that injury. An Achilles tear is a tough recover but with the surgery and recent advances, she may be ready to start the season next year.

I hope Tamika Catchings is in Kaiya's ear, because Catch not only recovered from an Achilles tear, but led her team to a WNBA championship after having gone through that.

This looks like a set of nails a real basketball player would wear:

Nails that length don't force a player to have to try to catch the ball in a way that won't bend or break their nails, so I appreciate seeing that level of attention/dedication to detail.
