They met at a local YMCA when Brady was 8. When Brady moved in at UConn last month, it was with the help of Sophia Knight, a longtime coach and mentor.

If those are realistic goals for a team having to tweak its identity in the wake of Paige Bueckers’ torn ACL, a team that already needed additional elbows and shoulders and muscles and inches in the paint, Brady could be pivotal even as a freshman. And hoping to help push the Huskies to a 15th consecutive Final Four and a 12th overall national title.
