Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 3272733, member: 120"] way back, when we were first getting to learn about napheesa -- during speculation before freshman year and during it -- i referred to her as "our Catch," partly because of her uniform number. but that was strongly reinforced by her reputation and demonstrable play: her amazing "nose for the ball," tirelessness, determination, unselfishness, knack for being in the right place, quiet determination to win, and more. of course, she was a pale imitation of Catch defensively, but i felt there were similarities in their games/makeup. and pheesa had plenty of time to refine her skills. turns out she was not our catch in college, but she did and does share many of Catch's virtues (and a few accomplishments too). it will be interesting see if she can come anywhere near Catch in the long run.
