I'm stuck at home sick again and am killing time. I've made these references in posts before but wondered what people would think if I posed this question:
While I've been watching the sports I've seen some of the best come through the college ranks, have successful professional careers and lead the US to many victories against international opponents. I think most can agree that Holdsclaw, Taurasi, Parker, Moore, Griner, EDD, and Stewart are among those rare talents who often made and make it look easy.
I have another category of players called transformative because their talent is tremendous and they are among the best in the game but I wouldn't put them at the level of the ladies I listed above. By transformative I mean they took their program to new heights during their days. Two major examples for me are Diggins and Wilson.
Ionescu has definitely been transformative by my definition. It could be too early to say but do people think she's on the transcendent trajectory? I watched Oregon lose to ND in 2018 EE, defeat MSU in the 2019 EE then lose to Baylor at the FF. Ionescu impressed the heck out of me but I'm not ready to put her at transcendent level......yet.
Who here puts Ionescu in the transcendent category? Any additional thoughts about my groupings?
