Sarah Strong doesn’t care about stardom. A winning focus could make her one of UConn’s best ever

STORRS, Conn. — There’s a lesson UConn coach Geno Auriemma learned long ago: Don’t wade into the “greatest ever” debate when it comes to his UConn players; leave that to everyone else.

I am so glad Sarah picked Uconn and plays for us. When we win NO 13 with Sarah, then I will be able to say, " we have another Breanna Stewart in Sarah and another shot at a 4-peat." If this happens , I will have been blessed to see TWO sensational players in my life time. Geno has been blessed, Uconn has been blessed and I have been blessed. GO HUSKIES!!!!!!
