When Azzi came in, UCONN had three former national high school players of the year on the floor at the same time. Has this ever happened with UCONN before? Has it ever happened with any other D 1 team?

I had the privilege of watching both Paige and Azzi in high school. They were besties before Buckets convinced Fudd to join her at UConn and catch passes from Paige. Bueckers told Azzi that she'd score a lot more getting assists from someone as good at dishing them out as she was at scoring.
When Azzi committed, the clouds parted, and I felt compelled to start a new religion. Well, neither project worked out. Fudd's knee issues in hs bedeviled her in Storrs. She spent much of her career here sitting. No two generational players joining forces.
BUT it's morning again in America, Fudd is back where she belongs.
Her injuries and re-injuries seemed to happen when she inadvertently knocked knees on the court. Will that happen yet again? No one knows. I worried when PB came back from repetitive injuries, wondering if she'd ever be Buckets again. She is. Gracia, Dios.
And life is what it is, and que sera sera. Enjoy the moment.

I was really impressed with how well she looked on D, moving very well, quickly, making switches when necessary, and getting a hand on the ball now and then. You know that her shot is never going away but I was expecting to see a little rust overall. Nope.

It was a delight to see AZZI back on the court. She looked healthy and unaffected by her latest knee surgery. I think we all have to adjust our expectations a bit. She looked like a fine basketball player, smart and quick. Only time will tell if she returns to the three point form that made her famous. We can only dream. But she is quality all the way. Welcome back.

12 minutes. Now I gotta go play the lottery, LOL
Like Geno said, big difference between playing in practice and in a game. Baby steps for her now but she is a great shooter and great player so we all have to just be patient and imagine we are watching a chronological documentary unfold.
