Player Quotes from Training Camp:

Adubato on Bernice Mosby...

"Bernice looks very good. She can score. She has very long arms, a lot like DeLisha (Milton Jones). We think she'll be able to compete with the big fours in the league. We would like to see her convert to a three. She can really run the floor and she has a good feel for the game. She can flat out score, she has good moves inside, good moves going to the basket."

Adubato on Megan Vogel...

"She's a complete basketball player. She can shoot the three, she can go to the basket, she can pass, and she's very strong. She can play the two or the three, she's a left hander. She reminds me a little bit of Vicki Johnson who I had in New York. She's the same way, just a very solid basketball player."

Crystal Robinson

"I think we have a good young group. It's going to be a battle for a lot of different positions. I think Megan (Vogel) is a great young player. Right now, not everyone is here, so the young players get to showcase what they can do. They get the opportunity to really take advantage of training camp. Training camp is the hardest part of the season but after that, everything is down hill."

Alana Beard...

"A lot of people want to make the team and they are working hard. It's good to see. We have a lot of young players that are coming back from last year and that are doing great job of keeping everyone intact and keeping everyone focused. I'm feeling good. I feel like I'm getting better every day. Our trainer is doing a good job of rehabbing me and we're both working hard. We'll see how it goes."
