Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4507106, member: 11538"] I read an ESPN article where former Uconn players were saying that freshman Paige might just be the "best ever". I found that compelling for them to say so I watched some video and saw her game against South Carolina where she scored 30 points 3 games in a row or something like that. I'm a numbers guy so I looked that the stats and she was leading the team in like everything and shooting 3's at around 50% at the time etc. I'm here because Paige was off the charts and I like seeing kids like her. I traveled 3000 miles once to see Mookie Betts in the minors when I read that he hadn't "swung and missed a pitch" all year. Fantastic contact rate and walk to hit ratio in AA ball. I'm interested in anomalies. I've gotta say though, I'm a little uncomfortable being a "uconn" fan because they are kind of like the Yankees and I'm a Redsox fan. We win all the freaking time and have every advantage. I justify it though in that some other teams are certainly in the equation and it's not like winning is a cakewalk. I find these kids very compelling also. Easy to root for. Really nice kids. I would love any of these kids as my own, and I mean that sincerely. I'd be very proud of any of them. Watch how they interact with each other. I hope they all get to realize their dreams. [/QUOTE]
