This is exactly what I have been saying. I don't think Paige will be back to her top self skill wise, even if her knee is 100%, until the following season.

I can say with great confidence that if healthy, Paige will be an All-American again this coming season most likely fighting it out with her two pals from LSU and Iowa for player of the year......:):)

I have to say I don't understand why this would be so. As a freshman Paige demonstrated that she was the best player in the NCAA including great court sense and anticipation. She'll continue practicing and conditioning all summer. Take another year before a 100% Paige shows up? I just don't think so. It's going to be an exciting season.

Folks are entitled to their own mouths, as well as their own opinions. :D

Actually, @hoopsnloops32 is expressing a reasonable worry. It's not one I share, though it reflects a certain common sense. But I am also unclear why folks use the summer for worrying. This is the time for unbridled optimism. There will plenty of time for us to mourn disappointments once the season begins. We don't need to get a head start on it now.

I certainly thought there was uncertainty about our point guards. I thought Raven was still hampered some physically at mid-season but grew stronger physically each game thereafter. Indeed, I don't think either of them had returned to top form skills-wise even by season's end.

Yes. Now go back and read ESN's 2023 preseason writeup. Both players were mentioned as being the answers at pg for 2023. Not a hint that they might not be 100% from Voepel et al. But if you read UConn's pre-season writeup it was all questions. Every sentence ended with a question mark. ESPN put a happy face on every top 25 team in the country but one.
Watch how ESPN makes Bueckers' return problematic while other returning players on other teams will be assumed to be 100%.
UConn will be what they will be with or without ESPN's "goodhousekeeping seal" on their chances but I would like to read less less duplicity from the media.

Look at the credits for the TV show McHale's Navy after the 45 second mark.
Look at all of the names of the co-stars.
Co-stars are stars made up of the entire cast of the show.
You don't need to like it, just accept it.
All of the UConn players are stars.
The statement by Kaizen was not improper. Others may have mis-understood his definition but that doesn't mean that he's wrong or that you can impose your definition into his post.

First Kaizen said: "UConn has 2 big stars were injured last season. Why nobody want to mention that? We should look for the up coming season not the past season."

Then Dezoworld said, "Not only our 2 stars but Azzi and Caroline missed many games coach list his mother CD fainted like this whole season was weird and not normal"

I think that the critics are being picayune about the generic meaning of stars.
It becomes harassing to impose your definition into their posts.
Everyone is a co-star which is a still a star.
See how Hollywood does it with their credits after the 45 second mark.
Every player on the team is like an actor & is a co-star.
You can differentiate in your post but not to criticize the other posters who had the right idea & made the proper generic use of it.

Thank you @sun ...:)

All of the UConn players have a star on the back of their uniform which makes all of them stars.
Some are super stars, but they all still start out as stars. Stars are stars every day of the week. :p

I appreciate your point, and agree.

From the physics perspective, we know what the media is. My prescription is, "read less media, and you get less duplicity as a result."
 
I heard that Mulkey has offered to share her wardrobe.
