Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 4266261, member: 293"] When Christyn first committed/arrived she made some statements about the being on the Wall, being "a legend" winning multiple championships, etc. A little cringe-worthy to me. I thought, "she has no idea how hard this is going to be, but if she can really do all that, great!" Well, Christyn has had her ups and downs, and none of those over-the-top dreams have come to pass (yet). All that aside, her development has still been great to watch. She is a UConn senior - effective, accountable and great role model/leader. She is assertive but soft-spoken and kind, patient and thoughtful with her teammates and in her public speaking (pressers). She sits up on the dais and sees the press fawning over Azzi and Paige ("...Christyn, can you tell us how wonderful is it to have Paige Bueckers as a teammate?") but never reveals a hint of jealousy or annoyance. ..."we have Paige and they don't." She seems good with who she is and the role she's grown into, and she ought to be. Christyn is playing at a high level on both ends of the floor and the team relies on her consistent play. We are lucky, lucky fans to have young women like her on our squad. I hope she can win this Championship and get up on that wall but if that doesn't happen, she'll still be a winner in my book. I look forward to following her career as far as she is able to take it. [/QUOTE]
