Dear Mel, You are such an inspiration to me. I aspire like you to be at the top and play college basketball (hopefully UCONN) and after reading your book I really saw how much it takes to be at the top and I am ready for it. You are such a great player and even though UCONN is 20-0 right now, they aren't the same without you. Hopefully one day you'll see me playing in the WNBA ;) Love and thanks, Laura.

Hi Mel,
I bought and read your book before Christmas and really enjoyed it. You signed it for me at the UHART game signing and you were very gracious. I loaned your book to a 10 year old friend of mine who plays ball on a 6th grade team She enjoyed it very much and we are having fun discussing it. May good luck and love follow you always.

Congrats, Melly Mel on the book and making us alums proud. Heck we are proud of all of the UConn family..everybody from the president on down the UConn family tree. We are just so proud of each and everyone of you guys and gals. When you first arrived on campus four years ago, I thought to myself "This young lady is going to be special", and that you have been. From the hardwood to the classroom ,you have worked hard and it shows. Heck you became my favorite player. Hardwork and never giving up, they gotta make a poster with you standing by those words. Keep up the great work and I am ordering your book..right after I post this message. We love ya, Melly Mel. Keep up the great work. UConn proud!!!

You probably don't remember me but I'm the crazy lady who was at the tail end of your New Year's Eve book signing at the XL Center and I blurted out "I Love You"...what I really wanted to say was that I love you and the whole UCONN team for getting us Snow-bound New England folks through the dark days of winter and giving us something exciting to watch and some first-rate athletes to be proud of. I've been watching your team since my daughter (who took our picture) was just a baby and Rebecca Lobo and company won the first of the many championships for UCONN. I've been reading your book whenever I have a minute to spare, and I must say you are inspiring. Any parent would be proud to have you for a daughter, and since I've been watching your team for so long, I feel in a way that you all ARE my daughters. Good luck to you in everything life brings you - you've worked so hard and you deserve the best!

After reading your book I have a much better appreciation for what it truly takes to be a UCONN Husky. Your stories further confirm my belief that Gino is a GREAT TEACHER.
Best wishes for an outstanding career in the WNBA and know we will continue to follow you and your success's wherever they take you.

Hi, Mel--

Looking forward to reading your book. . .as soon as I can find it (it's so popular)! You took classes with my son Josh your senior year (BS in Marketing 2008) which means I've been especially interested in your UConn career. As an alum (HDFR 1978) and a UConn sports fan ever since, I've always followed the student athletes even past graduation. Good luck in Ireland and with your future endeavors in writing and in the business world!
