Are our freshman any good?

I thought the same. How about The Superb Seven?

How about naming them after one of my favorite old movies:

The Magnificent Seven

That'll work, but hopefully none of them shaves her head. (a la Yul Brynner, for you younger folks.)

ISWYDT and I must admit I liked it. But you are more correct than you know. Poor Kathleen Winsor was banned in 14 states, and Connecticut was probably one of them. She was forever chapped about it.

Are you going all literaturey on me? Okay then I like The Magnificent Ambersons.

Seeing 5 freshmen on the floor in the 3rd quarter was perhaps the most exciting moment of the year for me. Maybe in the last two years.

Do not get too excited it was only St Johns a 3-7 team.

If they do the same against South Carolina this week I will be excited.

Indeed!! Depth is a great thing to have. Our freshmen are energetic and fearless and have injected excitement into an otherwise dull COVID/fanless season.

The post was more about the trust that Geno had in putting five freshmen on the floor in the 3rd quarter (albeit somewhat by necessity with ONO's 4 fouls, AG hurting and EW needing a break). The points they scored (outside of Paige) were a bonus. I doubt they will have many more opportunities to be on the court together in the 3rd quarter of a game this season, but, if they have to, this experience will only help. Let's try to have a half full, not half empty viewpoint!

It doesn't matter who it was against, they are only freshmen. Our last few freshmen classes hasn't performed nearly as well under the same circumstances, so I think it's a lot to be excited about.

This is one of the most talented freshman classes in a while. They can play with anybody.

This is absolutely true of UConn’s freshman group, which has been nothing short of elite—but I’d also note that it’s true nationally. There are impact freshman aplenty: Clark at Iowa, Westbeld at ND, Cardoso at Syracuse, Brink at Stanford, Cochran and Van Lith at Louisville, Oregon’s Fab 5. I’m sure there are others I missed. This freshman class is something else.

UConn is not my favorite team, but at this point Bueckers looks like a clear frontrunner for NFOY, Big East POY, and All-American status.

UConn is my favorite team, I agree with your predictions for Paige, IF she takes the Huskies to the NC game she should seriously be considered for NPOY.
