This actually is from Dan Connolly's paywalled report, so abbreviated:
....
The pair are now just a few months from arriving in Storrs for summer workouts, which will begin at the end of May....
On his last radio show, Geno Auriemma spoke about the two incoming freshmen.
On Cheli: “She defines that player that doesn't have a position and plays the game of basketball. She just plays basketball and it doesn't matter. She's a little bit like Paige (Bueckers) in that regard. You don't know whether she's a point guard, a two guard, a small forward, a 6-2 rebounder — you don't know. You just watch her play and she impacts the game in so many different ways. It's like recruiting a couple players when you recruit somebody like Morgan because you can slot her in so many different spots.”
“Allie is the typical kid who doesn't think they will ever miss a shot in their whole life and is a sneaky, phenomenally good one-on-one player with the ball in her hands. She can figure out how to get a layup or an open three about as good as anybody that I've seen. It's fun to watch when she's playing, because you look at her and you go, ‘No, she can't do that.’ And after the game you go, ‘Well she just did.’ So it's really, really fun to watch.”
