The Odds of Paige Staying for Her Fifth Year Have Gone Up...Just Ask Her Mother!

[Cuango]

After her junior season she gone. Azzi too.

Nope! Not going to happen! They both will be making good money and will want to match Stewie! Failing that, Dee!

didn't know you knew them personally and were making decisions for them

Her endorsement deals will likely make her WNBA salary look like pocket change.

She will get the endorsements whether she stays or goes as long as she maintains her popularity, and she is really good at being popular.

Money tends to influence peoples decisions.

I hate the off-season.

The question is, and I don't have the answer, would Paige think another national championship and playing at UConn, would be more enjoyable than the pros. It seems that would be a major factor to her,

I wonder what other former UConn players would have done if they could have made money in college. Which was more enjoyable, being a pro or a Husky and winning a NC?

Concerning making the Olympic team, she is probably going to know her chances in advance of 2024 by whether she is invited to the Olympic camps and how well she performs against the pros.

Fortunately, all this is years from now.

WNBA salary not so important (though they are better for top players). Key is what she can make abroad. Havent Maya & DT made $1M playing in China/Russia? That's a lot to leave on the table.

Could be right.

If Paige stayed four years, I'd be happier'n a pig in slop.

 

[Urshurak]

Doubtful she stays 5 years. Extremely doubtful.

I'm not sure about that. With her potential NIL revenue, there is less pressure to move on. She may decide to extend college for an extra year, compete for (another) national championship and pick up a masters.

Needs to be put into context. That was just mama talk.
