New ESPN article on Sarah Strong

[vaeman]

UConn's Sarah Strong is women's hoops' top freshman -- and a soon-to-be-star​

You must be mistaken. This cant be on the ESPN website! They hate UConn.

Nobody said they enjoyed posting the article...

(It was written by our old friend Alexa Philippou.)

Alexa was doing fine until she called Harvard the "Crimson Tide". Good article though.

No ,Alexa wrote the article…. She is an UConn homer

Not Alexa's best work. She said Sarah has been "infrequently unfazed". I know what she meant but that is bad writing IMO.

Yeah, a little strained. If we eliminate the double negative, we get "frequently fazed." What the heck does that mean? How about "almost completely unfazed?"

Hey, where is that nit we need to pick?

She normally writes greats articles. I picked the nit because her using descriptions like that are unusual.

Bet Geno's glad (and we By'ers) that there's not "one and done" in women's BB unlike on the men's side.

So how long will it be before the W changes their rule of players must be 22 or set to turn 22 during the calendar year of the draft and American born players must spend four years at the collegiate level if under age of 22? With the way the women's game has grown and the ever stronger physical attributes of young women in sports today how much longer will that rule last? I predict it won't be long.

When they start making millions to play professionally someone will sue as Spencer Haywood did years ago, and they will have to change their rules.

I get it, I was just trying to inject a little humor. Sometimes a nit needs a little chuckle.

Thank God Alexa is not writing for Sports Illustrated. Then we'd be doomed. Good on her. She did a great job while in Hartford.

 

[Forego]

If you want to nit pick, what the heck does she mean by “SOON to be star”? What more does Sarah have to do to be a star?

Juju is already advocating for this in interviews.
