"...what has made her into one of UConn’s greatest – but least appreciated – stars. Only four players in UConn history rest in its Top 10 in scoring, assists and games played. Diana Taurasi, Renee Montgomery and Maya Moore, all first-team All-Americans, and Hayes, on Tuesday named to the third-team.

“I won’t lie, I wouldn’t have expected four Final Fours in four years in a million years. I just expected to help out, be a helper, the one who provided a spark. It’s hard to make it once; to make it four times is surreal. I’m just glad to be a part of a program that’s done this.”

“Right now, I would list Tiffany as going somewhere between 7th and 12th overall,” said Mike Thibault the coach of the Connecticut Sun. “I think with her, the amount of success she has in the league may depend on the style the team that selects her plays. If she goes to the right team, she will be fine.” Hayes has a suggestion. “A style like UConn’s would be perfect for me,” she said smiling.

those are some great quotes. i'm sure we will all have some opinions on who actually goes ahead of her in the draft. it will be interesting to see where she goes.

It would be a magical ending to have Tiff lead us to NC 8! I really thought last year's team overachieved >We had Maya,but we win if CD plays,we win if Walker doesn't leave mid season,we win LOL a 3rd straight with JR EDD! Even w/o all of this I saw the team get to a point and those in the FF that we win it all!
Even with the edition of CD,KML,Kiah,and Banks. The loss of Maya was HUGE and this team has OVERACHIEVED Beyond last years team. All I hope for is some luck,Tiff going out with 2 games of the level she is capable of, We play the way we have since the beginning of the BE Tournament,raise it abit more from the last 7 games,get the added help of KIAH and Banks! Tiffany has the opportunity to win 3 NCs,4 . What an ending,to what is going to follow starting in 2012!

It looks as if Tiff will not have her name on the wall. However, to celebrate how hard she played and how much she sacrificed her body for the team, a chalk outline of her body would be fully appropriate.

I remain steadfast in my belief that a piece of Gampel hardwood should be placed on the wall , emblazoned with the words "Tiff's Office".

On the FLOOR, of course! LOL!

Actually, there should be numerous chalk outlines on the floor Jen's, Shea's, and Mel's just to name three who lived there just like Tiff. It is a wonder the floor isn't completely worn out.

That is not a slight to Tiffany; she has had an outstanding career, but not all the excellent players that have played for UCONN have their names on the wall.
