Such an easy, efficient shooting motion is truly a thing of beauty.

Mom did real good teaching those mechanics.

Besides Mechanics, there is such a physicality to her game. Can't be bumped off her mark when shooting

Yes. She can also put the ball on the floor and get to her own shot from the arc. That’s rare, even among great shooters, many of whom are basically “catch and shoot” scorers from the arc.
 
I like the way she’s hunting for 3 point shots in that highlight video. It looks like she’s running point, maybe that’s why she got recent comparisons to Kara Lawson and Katie Smith, that could be another reason she’s looking at UCLA, maybe she sees herself as a point guard at the next level.

As much fun as this story is, I still suspect that these might not be her final two, especially not without a direct quote. Suppose the reporter asked ‘where are you going to college?’ and Ms Fudd said ‘it’s between UCONN and UCLA’. That could mean South Bend or Maryland or literally any place that is physically in between the two. I’m not saying this is what happened, but for as closed mouthed as she has been, the SI story seems an unusual place to make this kind of announcement.

And you don't think Fudd would have corrected the story on one of her social media accounts?

:eek: Maryland is "physically" between UCONN and and UCLA?

Yes it is. Maryland Heights, MO is a suburb of St. Louis with a population of about 27,000 people. You can practically draw a straight line between Storrs, CT and LA that is bisected by Maryland, MO. Not too sure about their basketball program though..... :rolleyes:
 
Great to see a girl high schooler with a real jump shot, not the from-the-shoulder push so common. Would like to see the release point higher above her head, a big advantage when taking it down low among the bigs.

Yeah.... I read all about it on this site alot. It's probably overrated...... but if any of yall wanna prove me wrong.... feel free to send down 3 pints of Butter Pecan and 2 pints of Chocolate for me to taste test. :cool:

Pints? Really, you can't do better than that? :rolleyes:
 
Hope Azzi remembers the 20 questions game she played with Paige



Go to the last question. " What is your finishing move you would use with 10 seconds left and need to score?

Azzi: Pull up Jumper
Paige: Dribbling off a high screen and zip a pass to Azzi in the corner for a 3.


Lesson 1. Azzi thinks of herself as a world class finisher.
Lesson 2 Paige thinks of herself as a facilitator above all else

Marriage made in hardcourt heaven

I agree. And she doesn't waste time with excess dribbling and moves. Simply finds the open spots, gets there and shoots it. Very efficient and as a spot up at the 3 line she's going to open up huge gaps in the defense. Pick your poison, she'll kill you from 3 or Bueckers will in the mid range. Fudd will be the best floor spreader I've seen since KML.

You realize that if this were the case it would eliminate both UCLA and UConn.

Like the rest of you, I continue to check in on the boneyard 8-10 times a day for any breaking news. We’re all waiting for the the same thing, the other shoe to drop. One of these times, I’m going to check in, and it will be here. Someone will post a thread with the 3 words I want and expect to see: ”Fudd to UConn.“ :cool:

Meanwhile the UCLA WBB message board is burning up with 4 or 5 posts since the "UCLA or UCONN" word came out!!!

I commented last week that support for WCBB here in So Cal is tepid at best. Your post corroborates that observation. UCLA and USC are the two major D1 programs in So Cal. There has not been a measurable interest in WCBB here since 1984, the last of USC’s 2 national championships. Too many other options for local basketball fans, including the Lakers and the Clippers.

If it is truly transcendent she could make the UCLA attendance skyrocket, like I said before I wouldn’t be surprised to see LeBron James pop up at a game.
