But, my money is on her to reach that status.Paige isn't a legend. UConn fans for some reason are enamored with her in a way they never were with Stewie. Not sure how to explain it.
It’s because of the drought.Paige isn't a legend. UConn fans for some reason are enamored with her in a way they never were with Stewie. Not sure how to explain it.
We all hope so.But, my money is on her to reach that status.
I will give my explanation. She Performs way above her physical gifts. Her mind and will are her greatest gifts and only insane practice made her shot so incredible. Add that she man's the PG position and had to lead 7 freshman and others without an AA. Stewie is the greatest but she had an incredible set of physical gifts, surrounding AA's and far less pressure.Paige isn't a legend. UConn fans for some reason are enamored with her in a way they never were with Stewie. Not sure how to explain it.

and if she doesn't win a title they'll just say she fell short of expectationsPaige isn't a legend. UConn fans for some reason are enamored with her in a way they never were with Stewie. Not sure how to explain it.
Whatever flies your kiteThe drought
LOL, I agree with that example Oldude, but I think a lot of people on this board are asking, who the hell is Bobby Thomson?Yep. One play can do it. How about Bobby Thomson?
Paige plays the 2 most of the time. Nika was the PG last season.I will give my explanation. She Performs way above her physical gifts.

Most of the folks on the board are older than dirt. They know who Bobby Thomson is, even if he wasn’t a legend. Whatever you think of McNutt as a broadcaster, on that particular call, she hit it out of the ballpark.LOL, I agree with that example Oldude, but I think a lot of people on this board are asking, who the hell is Bobby Thomson?
Also, that announcer was Monica McNutt, one of the worst analysts I have ever heard. Not good enough to make Paige a legend as yet.
Geno’s teams play position-less basketball, frequently interchanging ball-handling responsibilities. Paige, Evina & Nika all initiated the offense from time to time. Nika was 5th on the team in assists, over 100+ behind Paige who lead the team with 168 (5.7/game) Evina was 2nd. Liv was 3rd, followed by Christyn, then Nika.Paige plays the 2 most of the time. Nika was the PG last season.
Here’s a question. Is there any former Husky besides Paige who was named NPOY who you don’t consider a UConn legend? Just to refresh your memory, UConn’s prior NPOY’s were: Rebecca, Jen, Kara, Sue, DT, Maya, Tina & Stewie, none of whom achieved that distinction as a freshman.Ok, I will give you Paige as a boneyard legends however she not yet a UConn legend. You all can continue to be the wind beneath her wings as I fly my kite.

Yes. The Legends and Coach would say the same. It is what it is.aren't players at Uconn judge by titles
Paige is a boneyard legend. She has not won anything to be considered a UConn legend. Add a title or 2/4 for legends status. I am excited about the possibilities and this team going forward however the drought has not mad me crazy or delusional.Here’s a question.

Teams win titles. Every other UConn NPOY played on a team with multiple 1st team AA’s. To date, Paige is the only UConn NPOY that has not.aren't players at Uconn judge by titles
That should change very soon.Teams win titles. Every other UConn NPOY played on a team with multiple 1st team AA’s. To date, Paige is the only UConn NPOY that has not.
I completely understand those who take a wait and see attitude but I think you are holding her to a standard (winning shot in a FF championship game) that other UConn legends never rose to.True but Paige making a shots in an out of conference game vs a team (Tennessee) that lost its glory years ago does not a legend make in my opinion. Nor does beating the chickenhawks. Now that shot in a championship game might. Maybe standards have lowered for legendary status.
you must be new here, words like generational and legend get thrown pretty easily. Fudd has yet to play a single minute and already is being called both those things.Paige is a boneyard legend. She has not won anything to be considered a UConn legend. Add a title or 2/4 for legends status.

It's not hard to explain it. Whether Paige is a legend or not, she really makes basketball fun to watch and attract a large group of bb fans.Paige isn't a legend. UConn fans for some reason are enamored with her in a way they never were with Stewie. Not sure how to explain it.
