Gross eyeing UConn
Earlier today I heard back from Elton Gross, the father of UConn recruiting target Krista Gross.
Elton, a standout basketball in his own right who was inducting into the Guilford College Hall of Fame in 2003, said Krista is planning to visit her final five schools (North Carolina, Stanford, UConn, Texas and Florida). The trip to North Carolina is set for Sept 18-20. She may make another visit before the trip to UNC but the other four visits haven't been finalized yet. I asked Elton if his daughter could visit during the "First Night" Festivities on Oct. 17 and he said that was a possibility.
Krista Gross is an athletic 6-foot wing player with a high energy level and work rate. If the description sounds familiar, it could be used to identify another hot-shot North Carolina high school star Shea Ralph. Ralph just happens to be in her first season as a UConn assistant and would be Gross' position coach if she opts to come to Storrs.
"People who see her play say the best thing about her is she gives 100 percent," Elton Gross. "Coaches have said she can play anywhere from the 1 (point guard) to the 4 (power forward)."
UConn's interest in Gross has picked up this summer.
"This summer it heated up," said Elton Gross. "Coach Auriemma saw her play in Atlanta. He called me up and wanted to know when and where she was playing. They have been there ever since."

Shea Ralph, Gross isn't, there will always be only one Shea Ralph.
Pigeon toed, knocked knee'd , Shea was pound for pound the best Woman basketball player in UConn history.
How many times have we seen Shea grab a rebound in midst of 6 plus footers and come down with the rebound and then go up thru that forest and make the basket.
If Ms Gross is 1/2 as tough and hardworking--Geno will have another winner---
