Chinitz Mon, 03 Jun 2013 15:15:54 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/elliott/?p=6513#comment-138240 I think that the logo is class, through and through! It surpasses the Big East logo in that the former league logo was drab and plain. I do, however, look forward to the time when we will be looking at either ACC or Big 12 next to our name.

The rest of the logo looks fine.

One could almost say the same for Brianna Stewart[she also needs to adjust to the physical aspect of the game] however the difference between the two of them is raw talent, especially on offense.

Geno put her in a lot of big games–and she played well for a few minutes. As big as she is she had the ball take away.

But I love most things Stokes–She could be as good as Stewie, Tuck, Dolson–she has the ability and the body.
Geno or her Dad should send her to Big Girl school then spend the rest of the summer playing against 6 ft 3 guys and fast guys (in basketball that is).
Uconn world only wants the best out of her and she can be among the very best. Give it a go Kiah–

Hopefully Geno is correct and she can / will improve her mental toughness and offensive shooting choices. She certainly has the dream physique to be a WNBA prospect. I hope she heals her physical ailments and really ups her game to the highest level.

I’m sure that all UCONN fans would like nothing better than to see Kia turn the corner on her career the same way that Tina Charles did a few years ago. She has two years left to prove herself and I for one hope that she has a great Summer on the way to a better Fall.

For her size, I don’t think she is a very good post player or rebounder.Gals BB has become physical. Can’t be a good guy. She’s got to get into the mix more and start banging some people.

Geno is trying to build her into a WNBA player. She has the physical gifts now it is the will. Will Kiah work hard enough? Watch out if she does. She is a very graceful big girl:).

]]> Comment on Top-Rated Wilson Never Satisfied, Continues To Work On Her Game by Mike McManus http://blog.ctnews.com/elliott/2013/05/17/wilson-unfazed-by-no-1-ranking-continues-to-work-hard-on-her-game/#comment-128615 Mike McManus Sat, 18 May 2013 00:16:36 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/elliott/?p=6492#comment-128615 Wilson sounds like a wonderful addition to the 2014 UCONN class but let’s not get too excited. There’s something in her comments that suggests that she’ll stay closer to home like many other top recruits have done lately. Kalana Greene, Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi,and KML were the exceptions. I hope I’m wrong!

If you know something about womens college bb and this team then you know how important the ascension of Kiah Stokes is for UConn..
