Mount Rushmore Now Clear | The Boneyard

Mount Rushmore Now Clear

Even though she only won once she can sit at the table with the other three
 
Given what we've seen from Sarah so far, someone is going to be bumped off the mountain

Paige is #4 right now, but hold off the hammer and chisel for 3 years. Sarah could enter the discussion for #4. Can't wait for the BY debates...
 
Not that it didn't seem clear before, but now it seems clear to me.

The Mount Rushmore (in order of graduation):
Diana
Maya
Stewie
Paige

Legends.
I'm still thinking Paige ain't there. Lots of fanfare but Sue Bird says "Howdy."

I get it, tho. Paige just won a Title.

Sue was an all-timer, but I don’t think she had the same dynamism or ability to impact the game as Paige.

We saw Paige go from being a pure point guard as a freshman, when she led the team to the final four, to playing both forward spots last year out of necessity and still carrying the team to a final four. This year, she basically played whatever role they needed her to play on a night-to-night basis, and did it with ridiculous efficiency.

The game has obviously changed a lot since the early 2000s, but it just feels like Paige is a tier about Sue.
 
Not everyone can make the Mount Rushmore - it’s a simple numbers thing.

Tina is in that tier right below with the likes of Sue Bird, Rebecca Lobo, etc.
tina > lobo and paige imo
 
I would say UCONN has at least 2 Mounts

1 - Taurasi, Moore, Stewart, Bueckers
2 / 3 - Lobo, Rizzotti, Sales, Abrosimova, Bird, Cash, Charles, Jefferson
4 / 5 / 6 - Wolters, Elliott, Ralph, Asjha Jones, Mosqueda Lewis, Tuck,, Gabby Williams, Nurse, Samuelson, Collier, Edwards, Muhl, Fudd, Strong

It’s by no means set. Stewie and Diana are set. Then I have Sue Bird, Maya, and Paige, and I don’t know which one I’d leave out.

Definitely not Maya Moore. I’d say Paige > Bird by a clear margin looking at collegiate career only. To be honest I’d probably put Jefferson > Bird looking at college career only. I think Moriah’s college career is sorely underrated by many UCONN fans.
 
Off the list of greatest Husky player to never win a national championship.
Who earns that distinction now? Contenders would be:

-Megan Walker
-Crystal Dangerfield
-Aaliyah Edwards
-Christyn Williams
-Kerri Bascom

For that, easy saying, KERRI BASCOM, I think she was the player starting the foundation of the dinasty along with Laura Lishness who is always forgotten, though she had UCONN's first ever triple double in the Big East championship game not even been named to the All Tournament Team. Also a special mention to Peggy Walsh-Myers.
 
Mt. Rushmore is Maya, Stewie, Diana and Paige.....full stop. Sarah might eventually move Paige out...
