Paige Bueckers to UConn

[RockyMTblue2]

I'd seen this a while ago, but while I was searching music for our current (hated) music thread YouTube stuck it in my face again, so I'm passing it on. I'd forgotten she made the All State team as an 8th grader. Then called the next Taylor Hill:

Paige is fairly thin now, but she was very thin as a freshman. She is filling out nicely.

"Looks like Diana Taurasi out there." Yep, she does!

Like how she palmed the ball while seizing him up

I keep telling these guys about that thinkin'.

Like how she palmed the ball while seizing him up

She had him and the ball in the palm of her hand.

Paige's AAU career came to a close Sunday.

I may be wrong, but It looks to me that Buckets has been getting into the weight room a tad. Now, it's just a tad, but it's a start.

Anyone know why Paige left North Tartan? Paige's team lost to North Tartan and placed 10th.

That #4 on the other team is pretty good too.

DaBall: I have a lingering memory of Paige joining a North Tartan Coach/administrator whom she worked with for years who had left NT for the Mn. Metro Stars. Thought I read this in a postscript to her 2018-19 HS season, but I'll be darned if I can find. it. Anyone else?

Yes, she participated with North Tartan for at least 2 years and her pix still adorn their website. Looks like the site needs an update. Summer Jam (2017)

Thanks Rocky. Lousy writing on my part...I'm aware of her North Tartan tenure. I meant that she left North Tartan to go over to the Metro Stars with a North Tartan administrator/coach who also joined the organization. Seems like most of the rest of her North Tartan buddies (in particular, Jensen) stayed put

Sounds like a Case of loyalty in this situation. Coach over program

No look and mis-direction tap passes at times.....that's Larry Bird stuff. I'm in love.

She's got a real mature game. I think that she's something special.

I think this title of this song is appropriate in describing Paige's play as a predictor of future results based on the videos we have all seen.

Jensen is one of 3 or 4 kids that stayed in the North Tartan program. 6 or 7 kids left, along with the coach, to the MN Stars program. PB was with North Tartan much longer than 2 years.

Bob Corwin on the recent Summer Jam which was Paige's final AAU tournament:


Paige Bueckers, 5-11, guard, Metro Stars 2020 Starks (Hopkins High School, Minnesota)

Orally committed to Connecticut, Bueckers has the ability to score at all levels plus pass the eyes out of the ball making her game very special. A national high school player-of-the-year candidate, she can beat you in a lot of ways.
