The kid is a superstar and she hasn’t even graduated from high school!

The best player in high school hoops gorges on Chick-fil-A before games, tells rivals how she's going to beat them before she does it and hasn't lost a game in two years. Get ready for the revolution.

Interesting sentences,
-Bueckers (pronounced "Beckers")

-By fourth grade, people were talking about the possibility of her playing for UConn.

-She'll play her last game at Hopkins. She'll walk across the stage to receive her diploma. She'll drive across the country to enroll at UConn. She'll put on her Huskies uniform for her first game. She'll become the most scrutinized freshman in the country. Basketball will still be a joy, but it will no longer be just that. It will also be a job.

-"They're always saying, 'Oh, man, UConn needs you right now!'" she says, "but I know it won't be like that next year. All the players have told me, 'Your freshman season is going to suck.'"

The word "special" is so very fitting for this young lady.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

It has all been said again and again, but this is a fine example. And her being a UConn recruit, well that makes the read all the sweeter.

I look forward to UConn's first year back in the Big East and the next 4 years of maybe the best class ever to come to UConn. Can see the headlines now, "UConn is Bad for Women's College Basketball!" just love it.

If she were not a UConn recruit, reading that would have made me ill. As Geno said about Rebecca, she belongs at UConn.

Your wish is granted, may god be with you!

 

[Bama fan]

Amazes me that she stayed in an opponents gym to sign autographs and take pictures. Guess it amazed the coach too! That is special.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I just started a thread with some footage of her as an 8th grader with Hopkins beating the then #1 and she's doing what she is doing now. What a talent.

Thank you Father

I've had the pleasure of watching numerous PB videos. One impression I've gotten is how really well coached Hopkins is. I'm also impressed with both #20 (Taylor Woodson) and #34 (Maya Nnaji). They work so superbly with Paige that I'm wondering if she can bring them to UConn when they graduate. We've speculated about Paige enticing her good friend Azzi Fudd to Storrs next year, so why not a few others? The chemistry PB has with these young women is almost magical. (Paige also helped make Aliyah Boston successful with USA bb, such that I thought Boston was nuts not to come here to play with Beuckers.)
PS/Azzi seems to be making great progress with her injury, almost back to where she was.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Hopefully not a duplicate. Video put up yesterday. Not typical. Coach doing a lot of talking too.

And this one: Her father was a point guard and coached Paige until she was in elementary school.

I guess some kids "dribble" at an early age but Paige really dribbled.

I’m sure her father coach broke her of the former and taught her the latter.

Hopkins leading Wayzata 41-34 at the half. Paige with 18 pts so far.

Hopkins leading Wayzata 41-34 at the half. Paige with 18 pts so far.

And she had a great breakaway with a saucy behind the back dribble but ball spun out. Paige will take over if needed.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Paige has missed 8 of her last 9 shots and Hopkins is in a tight one.

Paige has missed 8 of her last 9 shots and Hopkins is in a tight one.

But getting to the foul line, added a 30' 3 and will come up with the goods. Better than 99% of the college games

Several MN Timberwolves on hand for tonight’s game. Everyone wants to see Paige.
