Arizona according to ESPN.

Home/home coming up?

Good choice for the other Maya from Minnesota. Her brother was at Arizona and is now in the NBA.

 

[EricLA]

Arizona is a player now. Pac 12 will be brutal over the next several years.

Anything that makes Stanford and Tara squirm a bit is fine with me.

Her reasons for choosing AZ are interesting

"I want to go to a school that can fulfill my aspirations of being a doctor and play for a coach who looks like me. I want to blaze my own trail and win championships with a program that knows what it takes to get there."

I didn’t realize Arizona was such a hotbed for Doctors.

Gerontology.

Pac-12 has been brutal for the last 5 years or so. Why change now.

Tucson considers itself the John Hopkins of the Southwest?

The med school is apparently well respected. The affiliated hospital is fairly well thought of, although TMC is probably considered the top one in Tucson.

PAC 12 is already better than the SEC. maybe the SEC can become the next PAC 12.

Absolutely. Saw her and Paige play in HS in video. Maya was tremendously impressive. Arizona just got a future AA. She could carry the program for four years.

 

[mhshuskies]

Never heard of any interest from UCONN?

Not much hope for AZ. if the team is carried by Nnaji, she just doesn't appear to be that player. Yep she is good however depending on your definition of a player who could carry a program for 4 years, she's not that player. She may end up being the best player on her team, time will tell, if that's what you mean by the player to carry a program, OK, if you mean a player like Paige, Clark, Joens or the like, it's not her.

Has the SEC become a one horse race with the downward spiral of Mississippi State? Really, there lies the difference. ACC has two very good programs who haven't attained the leval of "Big" though they are close.

The Big Ten has been a one horse race. Same for the Big 12 - though the playing field has probably levelled.. Of course, the Big East. "Big" seems to indicate one BIG program.

The PAC has one Big program and 3 or 4 challengers. The Ducks had some good success. Arizona and UCLA as well, but none have the consistency of Stanford. Arizona has a chance to become the number two program.

I like Maya's game A LOT! She has advanced offensive skills for a big, I wanted her at SCar. I'm also impressed with Kailyn Gilbert - their other 2022 recruit. Together, they can carry the program forward (though the arms race never ends).

Pac 12 becoming the SEC of the West.

In women’s basketball in these parts we refer to the SEC as the PAC-12 of the east.

Didn't meet that standard this year.

 

[Blakeon18]

As for UConn interest: no idea really. Surely the coaches have seen Maya [class of 2022] several times during trips to
watch Paige play. I wonder if the relatively early verbals from Ice Brady and Ayanna Patterson maybe have filled the forward slots they were seeking to address from that class. Toss in forward/center Amari DeBerry just one year ahead of her.

 

[eebmg]

My guess is that pretty early in the process, she decided she wanted to go to a school without paige so what ever success she has wont be ascribed in part to Paige. In her stated reasons, she said she wanted to blaze her own trail among other things

 

[nuna23]

all paige teammates are great, my favourite was amaya battle she's a wonderful G,she play good defence,3p ...I wonder where she will commit

Schools from the state of Oregon won 6 straight Pac 12 regular season titles before this last season. Half of the teams in the conference have been to a Final 4 in about the last decade or so. The Pac 12 is way, way beyond being just about Stanford.
