Message: [QUOTE="1974yankees, post: 5298889, member: 14003"] Lol. This argument about who should and should not be on "MT. Rushmore" is funny... I would argue that Stewart/Maya are definitely on there.... If we are picking only 2... If we are picking 4 like the real mount Rushmore I think I would put Collier on that mountain.. At the end of her UConn career, Collier ranked 3rd in scoring, 4th in rebounds, and 7th in blocks. She ranks 4th in most consecutive starts at UConn, with 112, had 49 career double-doubles, and averaged a double-double (20.8/10.8) her senior season. She became the fifth player in the exclusive 2000/1000 club, joining UConn greats Maya Moore, Tina Charles, Breanna Stewart and Rebecca Lobo. Collier reached the 1000 rebound mark in the game against Louisville, and reached 2000 points in the very next game against Cincinnati.[URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napheesa_Collier#cite_note-13'][13][/URL] She was a member of the 2016 Connecticut Huskies National Champion team and reached the Final Four in each of her four years at UConn. She received the [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katrina_McClain_Award']Katrina McClain Award[/URL] for Power Forward of the Year from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in her senior season. She was an AP 1st Team All-American in both her senior and sophomore seasons, and 2nd Team in her junior season. Collier has the most rebounds (411) in a season at UConn, and finished 2nd with most points in a season at 792 points, trailing only Maya Moore. As a duo, Collier and Katie Lou Samuelson scored the most points in UConn WBB history (4688), topping B. Stewart and M. Jefferson, two teammates from their freshman season. I guess I would put Taursi as the 4th player... But if we are picking 2 it's Stewart/Maya.....If we are picking 3 it's Stewart/Maya/Collier..... If it's 4 then it's Stewart/Maya/Collier/Taursi.... Eventually it will be Stewart/Maya/Collier/Sara... I don't know how anyone could disagree. But everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Why would I take Collier over Taursi? Because she was/is a complete player that had/has no weakness. As evidence by the mark she left at Uconn... Even today she is probably the second best player in the world behind Stewart... [/QUOTE]
