She does it in her leaque. Last summer she did it to the Int'l HS Elite. She does it among and to the US HS Elite. Sooooo ...

I hate to break it to you, but when I watched L.I. Lutheran play CTK, Celeste Taylor was running the offense at pg.

I'm starting to believe that at the high-school level the best all-round ball handler takes over the point or lead-guard position. I saw L.I. Lutheran play Manasquan the year before that and Grace Stone, now at Princeton, was handling half-court sets fairly often.

And now that I'm in that game mindset, Manasquan's PG that year was Stella Clark (now at Notheastern) with the off-guard role filled by Dara Mabrey, who moved into the PG role once Clark graduated.

Where there's a will (and talent), there's a way at that level.....I agree with Coco that Paige Bueckers and/or Caitlin Clark can move over to the combo-guard position.

Sorry to see that Aubrey did not make the squad, but it was always going to be an uphill climb for her. Having seen both play, I will say I am surprised Celeste Taylor made the squad over Aubrey. With that said, Aubrey now has a little extra motivation to prove to everyone just how talented a basketball player she is.

She's convinced one person she's been hanging with:

“I really like her a lot, on and off the court,” Bueckers said. “She is one of the most athletic players I have played with. I’m looking forward to getting to know her better and I’m excited that I’ll be playing with her at UConn.”

I trust Paige's assessment more than the USA committee anyway.

This is like getting a Mustang for your 16th birthday and then being told you can't drive it till your 17 1/2.

Focus on the fact that UConn fans have once again been blessed with a true prodigy. Worth any wait and more valuable than any player in HS right now.

I've seen a lot of video of Paige. To me, her videos are as impressive as those of Moriah, Stewie, Kaleena, and Azzi. She's other-worldly.

Paige apparently hurt her ankle as you can see her being helped up in the last clip above. Made the team anyway.

Please don't start a post in this thread that way. My heart.
