Azzi and bueckers

[Mam4720]

All Geno should do is show the tape of DT and Sue Bird in the 2002 National championships and tell her they could become the next world great back court

 

[Alydar]

I think they have a clue. Sometimes things can be oversold.

 

[Go/huskies]

It seems rare for high school teammates, or even best friends to pick the same college, Peoples and Gilbert at ND is one set of best friends that did pick the same college, but there was Diggins and Bone who were said to be besties and didn’t land at the same school, only time will tell, Fudd does seem to really like UConn tho, so I would say that’s a positive sign.

 

[DEpup]

Um. KLS and Pheesa are besties....

Azzi & Paige on the same team:

I think they became besties in college, I could be wrong but I think Lou and Boykin were closer at one time.

I disagree. It was KLS and Pheesa.

 

[cferraro04]

Azzi reminds me of Kaleena Mosqueda Lewis and Bueckers doesn't remind me of anyone....she is a generational player.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Azzi has plenty of incentive to come to UConn. Paige is just a cherry on top.

 

[Alydar]

Bueckers and Fudd are totally focused on basketball and it appears that is the basis for their friendship. I'm sure they both value an education. Bueckers is an excellent student. I don't know about Fudd but neither has law or medicine as a life goal.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Azzi & Paige on the same team:

With those very long arms and high release, she seems to play much taller than her stated height.

 

[Kaizen]

Paige and Azii remind me of DT and Sue Bird.

 

[EricLA]

Paige and Azii remind me of DT and Sue Bird.

Azzi (as a player) seems to be a bit more like Maya to me. But temperment-wise, I think you nailed it.

 

[CL82]

I've said this before, but watching Paige you get the sense that she can do whatever she wants whenever she wants, almost as if the opposing players don't really matter. That will not be true in college, but she is an amazing talent and I'm looking forward to seeing her play for us. Fudd is too far away for me to be excited about.

 

[HGN]

Both are great players......But they're BETTER together. I mean like Championship type Better.

The whole WCBB world fears them being on the same team. They know the potential of greatness that combination can create. Followed by multiple Championships. Does the opponent drink rattlesnake or cobra venom? Pick your poison. That's the choice other teams fear making. And is one reason why they are trying to prevent Uconn from getting her verbal.

I got my fingers crossed to witness the 2nd coming of a Taurasi-Bird backcourt.

 

[Mdoggie]

Why does she remind you of KML?

 

[Carnac]

Azzi has plenty of incentive to come to UConn. Paige is just a cherry on top.

Imagine how much more enjoyable their college experience would be if they would experience it together. That duo alone would be a nightmare for other programs. Not to mention the joy and excitement they would provide to UConn’s fan base. Who knows, maybe they could seriously challenge the record of the most career points scored by a duo (Collier and Samuelson) in UConn history. Wouldn’t you like to see them try?

 

[MilfordHusky]

I believe that Azzi has a 3.8 GPA at SJC. She is an excellent student.

I see Azzi as a bit of a cross between Maya and Kaleena. She is about as tall as Kaleena and has the best shot I've seen since K, but she's much trimmer. She's not as big and strong as Maya, but has a somewhat similar shot. Anyone compared to these 2 players is really, really good.

With Gusters and Andrews both going to Baylor, I'm curious to see how that works out. They've played with each other in AAU, spent two years at the same high school, and will likely be living together next year. That's a lot of together time. I'm not sure if I can think of two high-profile recruits who have been in a similar situation...

Bird and Taurasi didn't meet until Diana's recruiting trip, so their friendship really didn't start until Diana got to UConn.

Sherri Coale said about Bird and Taurasi in the back court, "By the time you could stop the bleeding, you were dead."

This is what I want for Azzi and Paige.

 

[BostonBay]

They would be Bird & DT 2.0

Except they are not in the same class.

Sherri Coale said about Bird and Taurasi in the back court, "By the time you could stop the bleeding, you were dead." This is what I we want for Azzi and Paige. I fixed it for you. You're not alone, you've got lots of company.

The being "dead" part, that would work for me.

I'm guessing the duo is having this exact converation between them whenever the subject comes up.

Try? Yes. But frankly I hope there is enough talent around them that they don't. It may be sacrilegious to say it but KLS and Collier did too much of the scoring for UConn. Of course there are games when it would happen that they score a ton but I prefer to see a half dozen passes and either an open 3 or a layup.

 

[Go/huskies]

Fudd has a better handle then Moore and KML. What makes her special is her scoring ability from all over the court, MilfordHusky has said she could be a 40/50/90 player, maybe seimone augustus is a good comparison for Azzi.
