Silly me, I thought Paige would head home to MN after being away since July. I guess sheā€™ll get there eventually, probably after making stops in Williamsville, NY, Fort Wayne, IN, San Diego.......

I've followed wcbb since the early eighties and I can't recall a team adding two players in back to back recruiting classes that were both labeled "generational" talents. I could be wrong but off of the top of my head I can't think of another program.

What about Maya and Delle Donne? Otherwise Maya and Stewie are about as close you'll get.

Maya and Stewie were not back to back recruiting classes. Paige and Azzi will play together for 3yrs!!

Hence why I said "about as close as you'll get." Maya and Stewie were I think five years apart. If you have a closer pairing than that of two generational talents going to one team let's hear it. You could also make the argument of Bird and Taurasi who were even closer. Probably need a better word rather than generational to describe these players since there have been a bunch in the last 20 years.

Paige is one year older she can enter the draft Jr year if she chooses

I believe the same is true for Azzi. She was born on Nov. 11, 2002 and is draft eligible in 2024.

Tina and Maya? Both were starters on the Olympic team; how more generational can one be.

I loved Tina Charles but she was not labeled a "generational" talent being the #1 recruit doesn't necessarily make you a generational talent.

There are players that became "generational" talents but were they labeled that coming out of HS? that's the difference here with Paige/Azzi. Sue and Diana playing in the same backcourt looking back at it is astonishing because we know what they became. Was Sue Bird considered a generational talent or a piece of great recruiting class? Did anyone really think that Diana would become arguably the greatest women's college bballer ever when she was at Don Lugo HS in Chino, Ca?
I don't know if there is a better word to describe this kind of talent, transcendent maybe? but generational is the term that has always been used.

Bueckers is eligible in 2023 draft

Correct. Paige is eligible in 2023, Azzi in 2024. Both could leave after 3 years, in successive years. Based on the Covid extension, Paige could stay for 5 years.

If we are going to start actually defining a ā€œ generationalā€ player shouldnā€™t there be just one in a generation?

Don't confuse these "generational" guys. They're crowning 2-3 a year before their careers even start. Generations now last about 12-18 months.
 
So Paige and Azzi are the only dynamic duo in WBB that are working out? Is this the gist of this informational post ?
