There was a bit of a curiosity factor involved when Kia Nurse and Gabby Williams arrived on the UConn campus to embark on their journey with the powerhouse UConn women's basketball program.
The sense of familiarity that Moriah Jefferson, Breanna Stewart and Morgan Tuck gained during their USA Basketball stints when they got to Storrs two years earlier or unmistakable bond shared by current freshmen Napheesa Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson just didn't exist.
Nurse and Williams both came from athletic families with fathers who coached them from the early days of their time as basketball prodigies but on the surface, the sophomores on the mighty Husky teams seemed to have very little common bond.
