Yeah, the name is " move that foot and move that knee ". They look pretty cured to me. Hot Dog!Does that style of dancing have a name?

Do not even think of monkeying with Paige - not even a little, not a scintilla of tinkering.If you have listened to Azzi's interviews and read about her, you know that surprisingly she has periodic battles with her confidence. That's part of why I wanted her to choose UConn--if Azzi becomes a little more like Paige, and Paige becomes a little more like Azzi, they will both be better off. Azzi is better than she currently realizes. Four years with Geno will really help her both on and off the court.
And how fortunate is UConn and us fans to have both of them here at the same time.Twice in a generation is a rare variant of once in a generation.
Truer words were never writ!Between her knee and COVID Fudd basically missed most of her last 2 years of HS play. Part of my optimism for next year is based on both Fudd and Ducharme making a big sophomore jump. I believe that UConn has easily the best backcourt in the country but everybody is gaga over centers.
Apparently you haven’t read Volnation! They are portal champions and are on par or better than SC and definitely better than UConn. Final 4 or NC for sure!

Me either. I think you have to pay extra for that channel.I really don't get TikTok.
I think that’s a bit of a stretch. I don’t remember Paige making more mistakes than Azzi or (for that matter) Azzi’s understanding and decision making outshining Paige’s either! Rather than trying to force these two incredible player’s respective abilities into a preplanned narrative, how about let’s all just be happy they are both at UConn for several more seasons and let them write their own stories?I think they just meant that Paige and Azzi can both learn from each other. Azzi is very methodical and thoughtful. Paige is more free-spirited and (as Geno would say) brainless. Azzi’s personality elevates her understanding and decision making in games. However, it can hold her back because of her tendency to overthink. Paige’s personality allows her to play the game freely and gives her that innate confidence. However, it sometimes causes her to make mistakes because she’s more willing to take risks. One’s strength is the other’s weakness. That’s why they balance each other out.
Azzi is being more like Paige already.
Why? Do you think CD would disapprove? For dancing with teammates on tik-tok? How could this possibly be deemed inappropriate?betcha' CD didn't prescreen this.
What you're saying has merit, but did you guys see the TN, NC State games? These are but a few examples of Azzi's calm and composure under pressure. Certainly she was realize growth in her composure and maturity but Azzi is quite fine where she is....Azzi simply reflecting on her transition from high school basketball to “elite” college basketball which is much greater that the jump to low level or mid level (mid-major) basketball. I expect to see a more mature and settled-down Azzi this winter, as she knows what to expect having been around the block once.

I don't know, but I just watched the replay of the 4th Q and OT from the NCST game. Azzi looked pretty aggressive to me going to the hoop and looking for her pull up. The two of them will be great next year.I don't think that Paige should lower her confidence. I think Azzi needs to be more aggressive and confident in seeking her shot. Paige can get her shot off anytime, anywhere against anyone. She has that much confidence in her shot and abilities. Azzi is a little more shy and although she can sho the lights out from deep. Taking people off the dribble and going to the hoop she isn't as confident about.
That is why I think when Caroline (not trying to hijack the thread here) had her breakout stretch of games, those moments probably helped Azzi with her confidence. Just glad that we have players that lift each other up and are there for each other. Azzi having a wonderful family back home and a wonderful family in her home away from home at UConn, is a huge boost and hope that each practice, game, and year her confidence continues to grow stronger.If you have listened to Azzi's interviews and read about her, you know that surprisingly she has periodic battles with her confidence.

I think you might be misunderstanding what Geno said. Or maybe I am. Here’s the quote.I think they just meant that Paige and Azzi can both learn from each other. Azzi is very methodical and thoughtful. Paige is more free-spirited and (as Geno would say) brainless. Azzi’s personality elevates her understanding and decision making in games.

Thanks for applying the "curse of Great expectations" firmly onto the Orange Horde! I could not have done it better....Apparently you haven’t read Volnation! They are portal champions and are on par or better than SC and definitely better than UConn. Final 4 or NC for sure! Rocky top is the move!!
