Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 4369503, member: 6911"] It's probably a coin toss. The reality is that Paige has suffered four serious injuries recently: ankle, meniscus, tibia fracture, and now an ACL tear. She might go on, Sue Bird-like, to spend years as a top pro. But she could also see her career end at UConn if she remains, like Shea Ralph. She's making money on NIL's. But she could make a lot more, potentially, by turning pro next fall and picking up hundreds of thousands of dollars for the season playing in the European leagues. And she would have her NIL's and other ad money. If she gets hurt playing in Europe, she'd at least have a good deal of earnings. But if she remains at UConn? She could see her NIL earnings dry up to nothing. We would all love to see her lead Connecticut to the WCBB promised land. But she will have to take a long, hard look at what is best for her career. At this point, it's a coin toss. [/QUOTE]
