Great! I hope Paige stays 1 more too, but we will see about that one after this season.

I feel like we have been robbed seeing them play together. Fingers crossed for a healthy year, so we can at least see Azzi and Paige together for 1 full year!

Best news I've heard in a while! Now if she can just convince bff Paige to stay with her, I'll have two more years of basketball heaven!

Azzi is oh so smart. She's making a ton of money and is adored by the most adoring fan base there is. Plus her floor game should improve, increasing her value once she enters the league.

Great news. I believe that means that if Strong and Roberson say yes, we are all filled up as far as next season's roster goes. Does that mean that Paige can't come back ?

Great news. I believe that means that if Strong and Roberson say yes, we are all filled up as far as next season's roster goes. Which means, unfortunately, that Paige can't come back.

Paige's scholarship wouldn't count against the limit I don't think because she gets a Covid year which doesn't count against the limit or didn't at some point.

Something to Dream about. Paige Azzi and KK for next year. Just WOW

 

[Rings R Us]

If we win the championship this year, I think she will leave. She would be 23 years old at the start of next season, and probably would want to move on to the next chapter of her life (even though we selfishly want her to stay as many years as she can).

If we don't win the championship, I think she comes back!

It's Strong or Bust. Critical get for Geno.

I like your arithmetic, @rvwsleep! Especially having more than one Ice on the list. We need all the Ice we can get! And who's the new recruit, Is9. I think I missed her announcement.

But seriously, as I understand it, unless Nika and Aaliyah and Aubrey stay another year, we are good.

And if Azzi is staying for her senior year, I'll be very surprised if Paige doesn't stay too.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Azzi's announcement is not a surprise, but it is huge news. I'm happy for her and proud of her. Among other things, she wants her degree. Count on Paige coming back too.

NPOY next season

You had me for a minute.

Ice B = IB (Yes, 2 IB's)
I should have made my original post clearer.
The first group equals 9 (is 9)
Azzi + Paige would be 11
4 new recruits would be 15.
I think !

This was only for the first year. Paige's scholarship does count.

Speaking about money and Azzi:

With that crew UConn could probably play without any forwards and still win

 

[Cuango]

One wonders if this message was for someone other than the fans? Let’s hope so and that if it is, it accomplishes it’s purpose! Great news that Azzi is coming back! This strengthens my feeling that Paige too, will be back next season!
Hopefully, that announcement will follow shortly! Of course, even if Paige does go, we will still be absolutely loaded! I just pray that our team can stay healthy for awhile now!

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

Absolutely love her answer to Rebecca's question. Why, indeed, would she want to leave the Basketball Capital of the World?!?

What great news! Brought a tear to my eyes!

 

[Forego]

Currently the bigger question would appear to be: “Why would anyone not make a commitment to play in the Basketball Capital of the World?”.

It's 13 scholarships with Edwards, Nika and Griffin leaving.

I don’t think Paige needs a scholarship at this point, to come back.

Why wouldn't she? She coming back as a walk-on?

 

[darkstar1]

I only meant she doesn’t need the money.

it would be appreciated if this does not start a trend of using initials for names. not everyone likes to take time to decipher them, esp. ones that are not used often.

thanks
