With former UConn stars Swin Cash and Asjha Jones and current Huskies Tina Charles and Maya Moore among the 14 players being added to the original eight core players, there will be a noticeable UConn flavor to the upcoming U.S. Senior National team's training camp.

Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird are among the eight players previously invited although Taurasi's availability will be determined by whether she leads her Phoenix Mercury team into the WNBA finals. If Phoenix beats Los Angeles, Taurasi and fellow core player Cappie Pondexter will have to miss the camp.
