It's fair to say she's super excited. I like her demeanor. On the smiling, on Facebook the other day I asked if anyone has seen her smile yet and she sent me a photo of her with a pretty smile from the USA team gold. Followed by...

I suspect that was Nnaji

Nnaji was a talent and a wise acre who gave Paige competition.

The algorithm has been weird today, spitting all sorts of UConn stuff at me today. This is a good capper for our chat. Downright spooky though.

We tend to lose sight of the significance of her being the national POY and winning every major piece of hardware as a freshman. There simply is nothing the least bit typical about her game. And yes, some of the spin she puts on things looks "how did she do that" ish.

Some media outlets worked awful hard to pull that off, then went dark in mid-August. Can't figure why. 🤣

It is hard to calibrate improvement when you start with someone as skilled as Paige, but I doubt she has improved more than learning how to brace for more contact. I do believe there will be improvemenet, but the fact is much that she displayed this season she displayed in high school.

It is understandable how these very talented youngsters find each other in AAU etc, but I always feel it is sort off miraculous when they do and it sticks.

Of course, they were each others Slime. There was a time Geno said Nika was his Slime! Thankfully that has slipped out of the UConn Lexicon.

I have solved this Gordian Knot for myself by ignoring Massey until December 15.
