Message: [QUOTE="blackbird, post: 3771885, member: 1782"] Paige is a special..once in a generation kind of player. I started watching UConn Diana sophomore year, but my guess is the muttering Geno started when she threw the ball behind her back and confused her teammate was a very Diana flashback. I will say - to me..this is cool. As I said, her presence and mentality actually reminds me more of Sue (so far), but seeing a player that so clearly emulated Diana...that’s cool. We’re gonna see that a lot with this generation, and DT might be the first women’s player that is iconic enough where young women have modeled their game after her. Yes, it is just another sign Diana is getting older..but really really cool to see. Aaliyah is going to be something. Think about the year when Paige and Aaliyah are seniors and Azzi is a junior. Wow. Just wow. Mir reminds me of Barbara Turner - I love Barbara Turner. I really like Evina, she’s solid and smooth. She plays smart. She can shoot. She’s a great compliment to Paige. loved seeing CWill being aggressive. She usually comes up big in big games, and has AA potential herself. On a side note..I couldn’t help but think that Bria Hartley would have been an amazing backcourt Partner to Paige..given Paige’s ability to run transition. [/QUOTE]
