Seattle Storm guard was just the beginning for the second-generation fashionista. The Croatian international played her first game with this week after a month-long wait for a professional visa, arriving at the game wearing a custom shirt that featured the document with an 'approved' stamp. "I did not think that was going to blow up the way it did.
" said about her outfit. "I like fashion, I've always been into it. My mom got me into it.
The pregame fits are new to me, I always loved the idea of it. Now that I have this opportunity, I just like being myself in that kind of way." Hailing from Zagreb, Muhl's first stop on her American basketball journey was in Storrs to join Geno Auriemma and the iconic program.
Her three-star pedigree, per the ESPN HoopGurlz rankings, falls well short of the Huskies' typical blue-chip recruit, but Muhl proved herself immediately with 15 starts her freshman season as UConn returned back to the Final Four. Muhl ultimately forged an irreplaceable UConn legacy as a player, becoming the program's all-time assist leader, and a person, sharing an emotional goodbye with Auriemma before beginning her professional career in Cascadia. The lone regrettable aspect of her time in Connecticut was the pregame outfits, Muhl revealed, which like most college programs were team-issued track suits.
"At UConn we don't do that stuff," Muhl said. "It would always be a travel suit, which I hated." Her fashion-forward mindset was evidently forged by an artistic upbring.
