Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4921159, member: 73"] A few things and they're JMO. I do believe that Sarah Strong will be a Husky. My reasoning is because we have seen a lot of comments from various media mentioning teams that are on her list. A few weeks ago it was UConn, SC and LSU. Now its Duke NC and UConn. In all those articles UConn has been listed. When you have a chance to play with the best and for the best in a legendary program, that the media follows at a very high rate I don't see how you could go anywhere else. Playing beside Paige who can make you better is an asset especially as a freshman. I do believe that having players like Paige and Aaliyah who can carry a team, make plays when you need them, and at a very high percentage will lead UConn to the FF. There are alot of scorers out there on teams that depend on them. There aren't a lot of scorers who can get other team mates involved like Paige can. Paige also has Aaliyah and not many teams have a player like Aaliyah. Now add in another 6'3 player in Ice who showed us in the BET that she has arrived. Couple that with UConn's defense which has been suffocating, forcing opponents into duress and I really really like our chances of going to the FF. Paige can take over a game and that is a key. IMO I dont think there is a team that has 2 players as dominate as Paige and Aaliyah. There are teams with a couple of very good players but none that can execute at the percentages that Paige and Aaliyah do. Both in IMO are dominate AAs and are at a different level then most. I also believe Geno has a game plan much like in the BET where both will excel and lead UConns young team. Nika KK and Ash are shut down defenders. That encourages me even more because as Geno says Defense wins Championships and if the BET is any indication we are knocking on the door in Cleveland. I do Believe. [/QUOTE]
