Paige and UConn’s. Career Scoring List

[DefenseBB]

I'm amazed that this surprised you. It was a no brainer. Did you not see any of her HS play on video? To me she was a teenaged BB version of Wayne Gretzky. At least a play ahead of everyone on the court.

There were plenty of HS stars who we all thought would make great college players but also not many UConn freshmen can come in and start right away. Maya didn't and that team wasn't exactly loaded. Taurasi didn't but in her defense, that team was loaded. Stewie didn't and the list could go on. I always felt she would be good, just not as good, not as soon and not as transcendental as she's become.

No offense to many of you, but how many times do the lofty predictions come true on this forum? Some people thought they saw glimpses of Stewie in Jana....just sayin

1) While that's true about UConn freshmen, there was no one on the 2020-21 roster that was remotely close to Bueckers in talent and savvy. And Auriemma knew that well in advance.
2) That most definitely wasn't me.

Paige is easy to root for. What other college player buys 1500 tickets for her last home game and gives them away to her fellow students?

Hell, if they only made a XXL #5 UConn jersey in a fat old man size, I would probably buy one to wear myself…..

I'm in for a XXL Tall #5 UConn if available!!!

Go Huskies!!!
