Today was the first chance we've gotten to speak to UConn players and I made my rounds finishing up by spending a few extra minutes with freshman Katie Lou Samuelson.
I've received more emails about Samuelson's status than any freshman since Elena Delle Donne's short stay in Storrs since the recently named WNBA MVP left UConn after two days.
Samuelson, who gave up her spot on the U.S. team playing in the FIBA U19 World Championships to stay at home this summer with her ill mother, said she has every intention of playing for UConn for all four seasons.
