Paige Bueckers to UConn

[oldude]

Judging by her instagram, it looks like Coach Auriemma and CD are visiting with Bueckers. For those of you not up on the current lingo, a "slime" is basically your really close friend. View attachment 46352

As an Oldude, I had to look the term up in the Urban Dictionary. Slime is basically a synonym for “homie.” I could see Geno having to ask Jas, “What the hell does that mean?”

I am reminded of the scene in the movie Glory Road where the black players explain to the white players that being “bad” is a good thing.

Live & learn.

Azzi definitely needs to go to UConn so she can be there in person when Paige is being yelled at by Geno.

and then Azzi can take over being the worst guard he has ever seen.

I have a feeling that Azzi and Bueckers are big factors in Coach Auriemma staying coaching. He realizes just how special those two are and just how dominant a team they could be if all the stars line up.

...and vice versa.

Prediction: If they both enter UConn, we will hear something like....

"They are both good scorers and watching their defense they'll need to be."

...and vice versa.

I was taking into account the natural progression of a great palyer and hope that a sophmore Paige would be some what ahead of a freshman Azzi.

Why is it that Geno is sitting and not CD? Also is Geno asking for two more wines?

No, two more recruits.

Just spotted this highlight video. I don't understand the language but I knew what the guy was talking about.

Despite having a long lean frame, one of the most impressive possessions she had was in the 3 on 3 championship game where she was being guarded tight, she attacked straight to the rim, lowered her hips, delivered the bump to her defender and finished strong. Adding power to finesse is a scary proposition

Today is Paige Bueckers' 18th birthday:

Love the great arc on her shot - not even close to a flat trajectory.

Hopkins basketball practice is underway which means Paige Bueckers magic is also underway:

I never tire of watching her play but look forward to some full games where her defense is visible. That's the only area where Geno may be able to get under her skin.
Hopkins had a really good team last year. This year they will be better. Nnagi (6'4) is a sophomore and is #8 on ESPN's 2022 list and I believe Woodson? who was a major contributor as an 8th grader last year. It's too bad that Minn doesn't let their teams play out of state.
