Double ROYs

[TheShot1990]

Congrats to Paige and Stephon and of course congratulations to UConn since we are the only school in history to have accomplished this feat in the same year.

what is the other school? Chatgpt couldn't find it

Didn’t Taurasi win in 2004 and Okafor win for 2004-2005? Not really a double ROY.

ahh yes, I modified my ChatGPT query....there is only one school. Taurasi and Oakafor came close in 2004/5 but Lebron won in 04.

I didnt even put two and two together. Nice!

 

[Old Man UConn]

more Uconn greatness. The legend and the Dynasty continues. Bring on #7

 

[EricSD]

So elite. Proud of them and the UConn legacy. Looking forward to #13/7 this season! How about another dual championship?

 

[Mr. French]

Love both of them. Both well deserved too. Paige is a star already.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

UConn: The Basketball Blue Blood where we might not pay the highest NIL in the nation, but we know that the players that sign on to our teams want to be part of a championship culture that prepares them for the pro level.

What's better than that, especially in his current era of professional college sports?

Thank you Dan and Geno.

Sorta depends how you look at it. Okafor and Taurasi were the same draft year. Castle and Bueckers were the same calendar year for the award. Both were reigning rookies of the year at the same time.

We’re just covering all our bases.

I'll allow it. So in this case, would you say we have a Double double-ROY?

Who knows, someday it may pay for your kids college.

Depends on if you're counting "one school has reigning ROYs at the same time" or "one school won both ROYs in the same calendar year". I think either is legit since they play in different seasons.

 

[HuskyNan]

Another double

My eldest starts college next fall, and my younger kid in fall 2028, so Steph and Paige better start racking up the MVPs and (W)NBA titles starting....right now. 😆
