One thing that encourages me in the comparison to Diana is that like Sarah she also benefitted from having a NPoY and eventual #1 draft pick playing next to her in her freshman season.
Reminiscent of Paige who, prior to ger 1st game as a Husky, Geno pronounced that, “She’s even better than I thought.”
I agree. The term is not only overused but, imo, is pretty much meaningless. People that use it don't even have a consensus of how long a generation is. Some of them seem to think it's every couple years or so and that there's an infinite supply of them. And GOAT is even worse. They somehow believe there can be more than one greatest. Just Google 'does greatest of all time imply singular' and read what comes up. Sure, it can be broken down into categories like greatest shooter, greatest passer, greatest defender, etc. but there can be only one greatest womens or greatest mens player of all time. Of course, if they want to change their opinion every other year, then go for it.
Agree about Sarah's diverse skill set, which makes her the most difficult defensive assignment. But there were other freshmen who could have dazzled if they'd had a coach who handed them the keys to the team the way Geno did. I'm thinking of kids like Joyce Edwards or Avery Howell or Kayleigh Heckel. We can only speak in terms of potential with them since they didn't start at their teams, whereas Geno was smart enough to start Sarah and let her really shine. And there are kids like Mikayla Blakes or Olivia Olson or Syla Swords or Kennedy Smith who did start and actually did shine, though perhaps not quite as brightly as Sarah did.
Well GOAT is definitely overused. But "generational" could depend on context. In human procreation it's maybe 20 or 25 years. In context of a college career maybe it's 4 years. That would make generational synonymous with "best in class". At least that is the way I think of "generational".I agree. The term is not only overused but, imo, is pretty much meaningless.
