This weekend, the 2021-22 UConn women’s basketball team will come together for the first time when the players head to campus for the start of summer classes and summer workouts. Last year, the pandemic threw a wrench in the Huskies’ offseason and prevented them from convening until late July.
While Geno Auriemma has often described summer workouts as a “mini-camp” in the past, it also serves as a way to acclimate the newcomers into both the program and college life. The latter is particularly important since all the players took online classes last year, meaning the rising sophomores don’t know anything besides Zoom University.
