Plus, in typical UConn fashion, they reload and not rebuild.
The Huskies add #1 recruit Megan Walker and Duke transfer Azura Stevens into the mix as well.
With Chong's graduation as their only significant loss (and in the grand scheme, not a very big one compared to who they are retaining and gaining), UConn will certainly be a favorite not just for our game, but to regain their national crown
