More fun, and did I forget to say our Huskies are awesome people? Some of the MBB players have also done this type of stuff after getting back to campus late from a game.

Cool...

That’s how Geno recruits ‘em. It’s high on his a list of priorities.

Wow , that's Impressive considering how late She and the team probably got back from Marquette last night. Most college kids would probably be sleeping if they weren't in class.

We talk about how Paige has "bulked up", but when I see pictures like these they confirm the slender Paige I see slaying the enemy out on the court.

Sometimes I forget that she's pretty tall.

I know, I feel the same about Nika. I see her on TV and she looks like about my size (5'4") but I have some friends 5'11" and I think WOW Nika is THAT tall??

Looks like the knee is fine.

Or sleeping IN class

I lived for about 10 years one mile from Enfield High. At one point they had a frosh center [6'4"] who attracted
UConn's attention for a while. I don't think it ever got serious...she wound up going to Providence and had
a good career there. I would not be shocked if she were playing overseas now. Cannot for the life of me
remember her name.

She didn’t bulk up but her arms are definitely bigger…she’s obviously stronger. No more pipe arms.

They even made some special donuts for her:

What a problem...to eat your donut or somehow try to save the souvenir! Can't think of a good way to keep it for long though...

Mary Baskerville

Is that Baskerville Holmes's mother? [MBB player for Memphis State in the '80s]

Jet lag can make that NIL $ look expensive:

Goat: Bingo...thank you!

 

[NYCHUSKIES]

Paige is such as excellent ambassador for not just womens basketball but women's sports as a whole. Not to be bias, but I can't think of a better person.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Was Baskerville known for hounding the opposing player on defense?

"Paige attends pep rally at Enfield HS.". Now there's a headline I never expected read It sounds like something from the Onion. Coming next, Paige is Ansonia HS prom queen. Yeah, Paige is a piece of work in the nicest possible way.

Yes, at this time in her life she is only slightly in demand.....and I think we all love it - just a wee bit.

Paige Bueckers always amazes me as a 35 year old in a 22 year old's body! Well grounded young lady!
Very mature mind! Parents did a great job raising her!

Goat: double the Thank You. I googled Mary Baskerville and learned:

4 years at Providence...very productive
graduate year at Quinnipiac...unanimous 6th player of the year in that league.
Graduated in spring of 2023...was eligible for WNBA draft...not selected.
In August of 2023 signed with a pro league in Germany. Don't know how she is doing.

Hope she plays well enough to get WNBA teams to take another look.
I saw her play a couple of times in her high school frosh year. Defense her
strong point....nice passer for a BIG,,,raw offensively. Just a lot of fun seeing
what's happened to a [Enfield] local].
