OT: Azzi Fudd

[Chin Diesel]

Azzi and Paige are going to be huge stars and bring a ton of attention to UConn in the coming years. Besides being superstar players, they have "it."

Yep. They clearly have the persona to pull in other players who want to play along side them.

 

[NJHusky]

The best player ever is actually that giant Latvian woman. Too early to say Stewart is ahead of Taurasi but it could happen down the road.

In college hard to argue against Stewart. 4 NCs, 4 x MOP lost 5 games her entire career

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Geno got himself a "decent" 2021 recruiting class...

4 losses as a freshmen 3 down to the wire against ND, one at Baylor by 5 I believe and she was out that game, then at Stanford Jr year in OT.

If that's correct, then that's even more impressive than I thought...1 loss in 3 years!

 

[Scot-e]

Azzi is the real deal. Not as fun to watch as Paige but but can handle the rock as well as anyone and I have never seen a better shooter out of HS in my lifetime.

 

[Waquoit]

Female basketball players have always blown out their ACL's like crazy.

Nice of these student-athletes to get them fixed on their own nickel. UConn still has bills to pay.

 

[storrsroars]

She gets to the wim with ease and webounds vewy well for hewr size, huh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.


(c'mon man, somebody had to do it)

 

[mauconnfan]

I think Breanna Stewart is the GOAT. Argue away.

Good argument but only maybe a tie, Diana is special. But again, Breanna is the only one close as far as I can see.

 

[QDOG5]

If anyone is coaching female basketball or soccer players I suggest they take a look at the Santa Monica ACL injury prevention project. They have drills and stretches that help to build the muscles around the knee. I had my teams perform them every practice.

 

[CL82]

Did she inherit the mansion, the yacht, or both?

I've made a similar observation on the WBB board. The only response it generated was the sound of crickets.

I'm talking overall career. Taurasi won so much in college, WNBA, Europe, International. It's just too early for Stewart but she's on the right track and could someday pass her. I've still never seen a woman play like Taurasi, she has the game and swagger of a men's player who has an incredibly refined street game.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Too bad she's not playing this year, Azzi may need the UConn crowd to be vewy, vewy quiet before she shoots.

I don't watch much women's ball but 100% agree. Taurasi is a different beast than anyone else I've seen in the women's game.

 

[Vuce]

Maybe they could open a restaurant chain and call it FuddBueckers.

This is freaking brilliant. Marketing Ops everywhere and ready made area in the student section

Not coaching but one of the soccer leagues I played in my team had a different girl tear her ACL 3 seasons in a row (and at least 1 of them it wasn't her first time tearing it). These were girls who played D1 or D2, not just some rec league players...should have been doing those exercises

 

[nomar]

Literally never heard of her until 60 seconds ago but, uh, this sounds pretty good?

"She can be going full speed, and stop on a dime and have, like, a feathery release," said two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry. "I think she has more of a textbook jumper than anyone I've seen. Maybe Klay Thompson and Azzi Fudd. ... You go Ray Allen, Klay Thompson, and Azzi Fudd, textbook. You would teach somebody how to shoot with their form."

 

[Dove]

Fudd comin'.

Living down here in NC, I am getting sick of South Carolina’s recent success and them thinking they’re the best thing since sliced bread. Great for the Women’s game to have some other great teams in the mix. But it’s time for UConn to take back its throne. Let’s go!

Not according to South Carolina. https://www.thestate.com/sports/col...a/usc-womens-basketball/article241353076.html

Yeah, Stewart and Kareem basically had perfect college careers for wins, win streaks, POY awards, Nat'l championships and FF MVP's. Both of them ran the slate.

“Shhh, be vewy quiet. We’re hunting championships.”

 

[Scot-e]

Her name could be Dook Orange and you would still be happy she is a Huskie.

 

[Adios]

Not according to South Carolina. https://www.thestate.com/sports/col...a/usc-womens-basketball/article241353076.html

So petty. She's the coach of the national team now and this is the bravado that's her focus?

 

[CL82]

Jesus saves...Espo gets the rebound...

Lol, watching him sit in crease getting his ankles hammered and refusing to shoved out was strangely entertaining. Eventually he was going redirect a shot for a goal or put back a rebound.

 

[CTBballfan243]

May I throw in Bobby Orr?

Yes you may. I would have Bobby right there just behind Mario Lemieux. But then again, The Great One himself says that Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe is the GOAT.
