Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4405829, member: 5798"] The loss of Paige was devastating. :( SMH. The program must move on. Paige will not play this year. She can't help us. I agree with another poster that said as much as it hurts, we must move on. Wish her well, but move on and look forward to her return next year. Let's not worry or be concerned about what might have been. Let's focus on what will or might be. Let's highlight and encourage the players that are on the roster and will play this year. Speculating about what might have been had Paige not gotten injured won't win us a single game. Geno has addressed Paige's injury and the fact that she won't play this year. He has asked each player to commit to give a little something extra this year, whatever they can, whenever they can. This team would have been exceptional this year with Paige. Let's see how exceptional they can be without her. I'll have my my eye on 4 players when the season starts. Amari, Ice, Aubrey and Ines. If these four perform as I expect them to, UConn is going to be tough to beat. I pretty much know what to expect from Azzi, Caroline, Aaliyah, Dorka, Nika (who I think will be the starting 5). I think [B]Ayanna[/B] [B]and Lou[/B] WILL live up to their hype. One of the players said that Lou is learning the system real fast, and is getting whatever shot she wants in practice against anyone...........male or female. Sounds like she'll be ready to rock n roll on Nov 6. They're both getting too many accolades from teammates and coaches not to. [/QUOTE]
