Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3785739, member: 8636"] I don't mind what Sue said at all! None of us want the UConn players to be robots. We admire how the program and all it entails pulls these women together as cohesive units even though they are from different backgrounds and parts of the country. It's refreshing to see different answers to those questions about coming to UConn. Rebecca Lobo answers those questions the way we all like to hear them. Even though Rebecca was hugely into academics too like Bird, she was on the 1st championship, she was the pioneer, she was the first big recruit. Bird was not. One more thing IMO: some people are just stars, the best there is in their chosen endeavors, no matter what. (maybe Paige- good bet) Bird might have been such a person, so UConn may not have had the impact on her that it has on some other players. She goes to Stanford or Vandy, maybe the same result, point guard of the year, player of the year, AA, NCs (?). [/QUOTE]
