Paige is a transcendent talent.
Knowing One, I believe it's too late to pick up a PG from the portal and be eligible for the 22-23 season. Maybe an international transfer? I don't know the rules for that. I do know that Nika is the only true PG that UConn has. Can Azzi spell Nika as PG and bring the ball up court? Yes, but she is more valuable playing off the ball. Can Caroline bring the ball up court? Yeah, but that's not optimum (I cringe at the thought). The little I know about Lou says that you might not her pressed into a PG role in big time D1 basketball. Have I missed someone?This drops our roster number to 10. Is Geno comfortable going into the season with only 10 players? Classes for the fall term begin in 4 weeks. Is it too late to find a player (or two) from the portal to return the roster to 11 or perhaps 12?
Where is she going to go? There is no NBA for women's basketball players. UConn is where she'll make the most money playing basketball and have the most fun playing basketball.2 straight years of rehab plus mucho NIL ????. What's the point to come back?
ESPN should go poop in their hat. They are speculating for ratings.How Paige Bueckers' injury impacts UConn and the 2022-23 women's college basketball season
A win away from an NCAA title last April, UConn has lost Paige Bueckers to a torn ACL, which will impact the 2022-23 season and national championship race.www.espn.com
ESPN is now saying that UConn should be ranked around 6th or 7th in the preseason polls and is speculating on if she stays or goes to the W.
Allegedly, yes.Jesus Mary & Joseph the poor kid can't catch a break.
Is this the same knee she injured last year???
I just read the article and don't see anything wrong with it. It seems factual with pretty solid opinions from, IMHO, the two best WBB reporters on the national scene.ESPN should go poop in their hat. They are speculating for ratings.
Disagree; maybe they should drop to third behind SC and Stanford, but who else is better than UConn without Paige?How Paige Bueckers' injury impacts UConn and the 2022-23 women's college basketball season

How many knee injuries did sue have during her uconn career?Sad news.
Sending healing thoughts to Paige. She is a phenomenal player. During her first two years, Paige averaged more assists per game, she had a better A/TO ratio, and she had a higher effective field goal percentage (eFG%) than UCONN’s greatest WBB players—Diana, Maya, and Breanna. She also averaged an impressive 18 points per game.
I hope Paige can draw inspiration from Sue Bird, who overcame multiple knee injuries.
Stay positive and come back strong, Paige.
