Utah women's basketball sophomore post Emily Potter is featured in a Q&A on Matt Snyder's blog, Alley Whoops.
A few excerpts from the story are below:
"In a press conference on Wednesday, Lynne Roberts was asked about Emily Potter. The first-year Utah coach said simply of the redshirt sophomore Ute, She's a stud."
"It's hard not to think in levels of hyperbole when it comes to Potter, a redshirt sophomore. Here is a 6-6 post who is one of the most gifted athletes in the Pac-12 Conference. "
AW: When Utah players are asked about their favorite things about Salt Lake City, the scenery is a frequent response. What do you love about SLC? Does it remind you of home, in any way? (Potter is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.)
EP: It definitely does not remind me of home. (Laughs) I come from very flat prairies, so I thought the mountains were a nice change of pace. It's definitely very pretty here. I like the weather; it's not as cold as it is at home. It's much hotter. I love campus, and all the great facilities we have here. I live on campus, and I live in our new team room, and our study hall, and our weight room, and our training room-they're all located right beside each other. It's great.
AW: Your dedication to fitness has been hailed this offseason. How did you develop such a base, coming off the injury?
EP: Yeah, all the conditioning you do when you can't play basketball was really helpful, and the more up-tempo pace of our team this year has definitely got me in the best shape of my life. Physically and mentally.

AW: This offseason, Danielle Rodriguez hailed the enthusiasm of Lynne Roberts, and her coaching staff. What impression have they made for you, these first seven months?
EP: I just think the vibe of a fresh start, and them coming in, everyone started with a really good mentality. With a new coach, everybody wants to prove themselves, so everybody's been on their A-game. My teammates, I've seen them work so, so hard this past summer. It was really, really tough, but we're definitely in great shape. We have a new strength and conditioning coach, and she's great. The thing I like most about Lynne is her competitiveness. I really like her fire. And we talk to each other about that, often-how we're both really competitive. She tries to calm me down when I'm frustrated. She knows I'm doing it out of competitiveness, but she tries to steer me to remain calm.
