Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3864635, member: 5798"] Anyone here that doesn't believe that Azzi will start next year? I was extremely skeptical during the summer that Paige would just walk in here and start from day one. Freshmen very seldom do that in Geno's program. I wanted to see her perform at THIS level against Division 1 competition first, before I anointed her. I was from Missouri on that issue. I'm very happy to report that - THAT ship has sailed!! After the first game against UMass Lowell way back in December, I was convinced. Like so many others. I was not only convinced she could play at this level, I wanted the ball in HER hands as much as possible. At this point, I'm convinced that [B]Azzi is the real deal.[/B] I'd be shocked if Geno has Azzi coming off the bench at any point next season. Too much potential by letting them play together. No one on the team knows Paige better than Azzi. [B]I'm calling now!!! When they leave UConn, their jerseys will be on the wall in Gampel right next to each other. [/B] Azzi & Paige = Batman & Robin. You can figure out which one is which. ;) I'm guessing UConn ticket sales for home games will increase. Fans in the area will want to see THAT team in person. I'm also on board with the notion that next year's team will be better than this year's team. Once again, UConn will be THE BIGGEST game of the year on all of their opponent's schedule. [/QUOTE]
