Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 3986390, member: 7548"] Laundry List of what puts Paige on my Mt Rushmore (assuming she still plays at her individual level and gets at least 1 Naty) By personal level, she maintains her unanimous first team AA status , elite play in playoffs etc. She may even not get another NPOY since her stats may become less pronounced as she lets other shine more 1) No one has had as much pressure put on her as Paige especially with the level of hype before she came here. The pressure to win at UConn continues to grow as the program has ascended to the most rarified air and at the same time, the NC has eluded UConn for the last 5 years. Far more than the Sue/Diana Years. I would maybe put Stewie on the same level with her guarantee of 4 NC's etc 2) She is playing without any AA's and has had to mold a team with far more underclassman than upper classman. I assume that will change in the upcoming years but nothing is completely sure until it happens 3) She has shown a unique ability to make the biggest shots when the team has desperately needed it under pressure of real losses. (TN, SC and even AZ) Stewie has never had to do that although I imagine she would if put in the same positions. 4) Perhaps unique to my mindset but she exceeds her athleticism and is completely unselfish She is not the absurdly gifted athlete like Maya or Stewie and has to use her Basketball IQ far more to get the job done. 5) I say 1 NC is enough simply because the competition level of other teams has gotten so much better. Gone are the days when UConn is the favorite over the field. [/QUOTE]
