Paige Bueckers to UConn

[RockyMTblue2]

Except for the beer ya got me. Also instead of participating, I'll grab a front row seat for a good scrap. I think however you're describing an old punter and not a geezer.

I agree. Geezer is classically American, though it is usually superfluously accompanied by "old".

 

[Crossover]

The Big 3–Moriah, Morgan, and Baby Husky.

Yes, she is the one who nicknamed Stewie "Baby Husky" while Stewie was still being recruited. Word on the street was that everyone loved playing with KML, and would be eager to join her at UConn.

Highlight package from the weekend's state preliminaries:

She is going to be so good when she arrives at storrs. I love that she will have one year to play with CW. Paige can easily be a 4 time all american in college.

Unless something happened I'm not aware of, Bueckers and CW will play two years together.

My bad, you're right... ... im even happier now.

Honest question.

Is Bueckers playing too much basketball. She is seemingly playing every week.

As good as Paige is, it is not that likely. How many 4 times all American have there ever been in wcbb? Maya Moore. Who else?

all the top recruits play too much basketball in my opinion.........that's partly what makes them great but also what can lead to overuse injuries

Highlight package from the weekend's state preliminaries:

I didn't see Haley Jones much, but Ms. Buckets is a very advanced player. Probably could work on her left hand, but couldn't we all.

 

[MilfordHusky]

In the NCAA era of 30 years or so, only Maya Moore and Courtney Paris.

In the early days, I’m not sure, but maybe Meyers, Miller, or Woodard.

I see some Taurasi-like moves and personality in this kid. Me like

THE FOLLOWING COVERS 1975 THROUGH 2007 SO IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MAYA MOORE AND PARIS. This is a NCAA document but I don't see Taurasi for 3-time 1st team All-American???

I did find this in the same document http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/w_basketball_RB/misc/wbbfinest.pdf
Diana Taurasi Connecticut • 6-0 • Chino, C A • Div. I Named Division I player of the year by the USBWA and AP in 2003…Wade Trophy winner in 2003…Naismith Trophy winner in 2003 and 2004…Division I first-team allAmerican in 2002, 2003 and 2004… Named to NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball 25th Anniversary Team…Played on the NCAA Division I championship team in 2002, 2003 and 2004…USA Olympic team member in 2004.

She has great court awareness. The look off passes are a treat to see.

There’s going to be a whole lot of oohs and ahhs in Storrs.

She's gonna fit right in... We are gonna have way more ball handlers that will find the open man in both halfcourt and fast break situations.. Love her mid range game.. Love it.. create even more problems... Gotta watch for her on the pull up J... If you do, you can't defend that no look pass too well...

Now only if she had some big posts to throw the ball too!

She will have ONO for 2 years, and hopefully some more for 3 or 4 years.

Completely agree @oldude !! Crystal has given us so much to enjoy and cheer for the last 3 years and I look for MORE next season. Paige will pick up the baton and continue the incredible passing and play. Exciting times ahead.

Mostly the same highlights but from a different perspective:

When I see Crystal's moves like this I think of this little ditty:



Only she does the run of life!

Thanks for finding and posting these. But after watching a lot of her games you might agree with me that folks miss seeing 75% of her talent if you focus on her shooting. And you miss the enthusiasm and pure joy she has for playing that rubs off onto her teammates. On defense she is always trying to anticipate where the ball is going and she tips a ton of passes. A coach on the floor.
Her transition to college ball will be seamless.

That's why maybe my favorite video of her is from her 8th grade year when she took over and made all kinds of plays to win a game.
