How important are Top 10 Prospects to Team success?

Recruits can be summed up in one sentence: Whoever has Aliyah Boston wins. (Everything else is just noise.)

Overstatement.

What happened to “ We have Paige and you don’t?”

Either statement sells the rest of the players short. Boston and Bueckers cannot win championships by themselves. Thir tea mats are all above average at worst

If Boston had gone to UConn as many here thought she would, the Huskies would not have lost a game in the past three years, the Gamecockies would still be hunting their first NC, and next year's conclusion would flip to UConn's 15th NC. You underestimate the dominance of Ms. Boston and the effect she has on a game. Stop trying to burnish the creds of a SC team with one transcendent star.

You mean second correct? South Carolina had a NC title before Boston joined the program.

Thank you for not responding condescendingly to my assertion that bb is a team sport.

Boston and Jones are UConns biggest (recent) misses.

You're correct. I forget the NC that SC and Aja backed into when UConn was upset in the final four. That was the same season that the Huskies had beaten the Cocks on their floor. Unlike Boston, Wilson never played a winning game against UConn in all of her four years. Might have to recast that statue when Aliyah graduates.

I remember that one UConn fan called Boston "transcendent" and he was mocked on here. Is he still on this site? I forgot his username.

Wilson did not have the same talent surrounding Boston.

Some folks cannot desist from end zone dances. Take Boston away from SC, and you have a good team that cannot be assured of winning NCs. Just enjoy your win, you certainly are (temporarily) the best team around. Before you share any real glory, however, you need to repeat this over time. That's what separates UConn from the rest of nation's teams. Tara needed to wait more than 20 years between NCs; imagine how long SC's wait will be once Aliyah is gone--and Dawn isn't Tara.

Couldn’t agree more

Please explain or quote anywhere you can find that I “ end zone danced. “

You are right, but I also believe we were the close second choice of Aja Wilson.
