Message: [QUOTE="TCC Kid, post: 4127790, member: 11583"] Paige is a unique and superior talent with an uncanny and high BB IQ. I'm thrilled Geno brought her to Uconn. Uconn has had some extra ordinary players in the Geno year. Sue Bird led her team. If it needed a basket, Sue gave it to Uconn. Her passing was rarely seen in Woman's (or men's) basketball. She carried her team many times but generally her supporting cast gave her support to the point all she had to do was pass and lead. If she had to score and lead and pass, ala Paige Sue would have done that. DT, a true superstar. Even as she strutted and thumped her chest to Duke or Tenn fans she brought home victory over victory. So much so Geno proclaimed: We had Diana and they don't. Edit---I can't in good conscience leave Sveta out of the conversation, if only for the style of game she played. Paige is Paige, I hate to anoint her a superstar but she is, she is extraordinary. This early in her College career I'm willing to put her in the Category of Sue, DT, Maya. She may excel more or less but to this point in her careers she belongs, at least in he conversations, with Uconn greats. Sue is the reason I follow UConn Women. Watching her in home game was a unique experience. She, at least to me, was Paige before there was a Paige. In that category,,, Sue, DT, Maya, Tina, but Sue like Paige when the chips were down--put her team on her back and did what was needed. Half court shot at half time or driving layup for the buzzer beating win. Passing with her team was just fluid poetry in motion. [/QUOTE]
