Passing #5 - Crystal Dangerfield to PB

[Argonaut]

Meet our new #5! I hear she’s supposed to be pretty good...

This actually surprises me. I think we all knew she wasn't going to get #1, but I thought she might claim #10 or #11, which would be the closest to #1 that she could get.

Taking Crystal's number suggests continuity, and that she is not trying to distinguish herself (before she has played a single minute) from her immediate predecessor at point guard. I think this shows a team-first attitude (which we expected), as well as a respect for Crystal's accomplishments.

How did any of the freshmen get their UConn uniforms before they even get to campus? Did they already choose numbers and had the uniforms sent out for fitting?

looks very fake/photo shopped to me.

#5 was her USA Basketball U19 number

It's photo shopped. It even has the AAC logo on it still.

Shouldn't be a surprise, she wore #5 with USA basketball

I cannot wait until the season to start. All eyes will be back on UConn because of Paige. I feel she will truly have one of the biggest impact on Women’s Basketball ever.

It’s obviously photoshopped. UConn doesn’t do jersey photos on OVs, so new players don’t get their hands on them until media day.

I’d imagine Nika will choose #10. She’s been wearing it for her WABA team and for Croatia’s U16 and U18 teams.

Love it - looks great in #5! Her tweet is getting a lot of celeb attention.

Kara Lawson: "Nah you not that tan."

(Really do need to get that AAC logo off the uni)

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Yes, Paige looks like a real hardcore veteran in that 'shop art. And she will be, too.

Well we can't let that abomination stay.

(Just until @Biff gets round to doing a proper job on it.)

You think so? You know so! Correct are you!

I guess Nika needs to ask Molly if she can have #10.

Crystal was a badass PG wearing #5. Caroline was a badass PG wearing #5. I liked their attitude. Paige has the same 'tude, maybe even more. Another Honey Badger!!

Fixed it for ya

I want to add #6. The sweetheart of a kid with the sweetest jump shot.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Or can we add the other #6? I guess not.

Really UConn is America's team anyway so...

No tats.

No tats.

I'd take LeBron and make him wear long sleeves.

I think that Paige is going to want to start her "Own Legacy" and not carry on someone else's legacy. I don't think that she will chose # 5. I think that she might decide on another number that is similar but different. If not # 1, then possibly # 55.

?? Looks to me like #5 is a done deal.

This is interesting. One thread just look at has doom and gloom for the coming season and this thread is filled with excitement and hope for the coming season. I hope that we get to see all of these talented young women players when we are suppose to. OOOOOrah for that!

If I need to stew on there being zero WCBB until 2021, I’ll lose my stinkin’ mind.

I’m believing it’ll happen in some capacity until the NCAA says otherwise.
