She better watch doing that. CP3 was labeled as selfish for doing that during the Olympics.

That's because she went to Tennessee, duh When our players do it, it's just smart basketball.

Dumb question: why is Candace Parker CP3? Every time I read that, I have to take a second and think, "wait, that's Candace, not Chris Paul." You can't just jack someone else's nickname, even if you have the same initials/number.

I believe she has been CP3 as long as Chris Paul. It dates back to her sophomore year. Something like 7 years ago. I, actually, thought Chris Paul hijacked it.

I think Parker is the original - and it helps us spelling challenged from getting the Candace/Candice wrong!

IMHO, if she doesn't suffer an injury, Morgan Tuck will own the 4 spot for the next for years.

Peace,

John Fryer

Is that the 4 spot on the bench? I'm pretty sure she'll be a freshman and experience is worth quite a bit in the real world of elite WCBB. Not likely to own anything this year. (With that said - I'm hoping she does own an NCAA championship at the end of the year)
Is it possible to get over the shiny new thing infatuation?

Most of this thread has focused on how great Breanna is/will be, I thought it might be appropriate to remind folks that Morgan Tuck is also in the house.

Since neither of them have yet to experience their first Div. 1 practice.

And as I said in a different post, IMO Morgan's skill sets makes her a natural at the 4 spot.

Further, IMO, until Breanna bulks up, if she ever does, her skill sets might make her more comfortable and more effective on the wings. (As I recall, a number of posters have made similar observations. The problem with Breanna at the 3 spot is that it is currently occuppied by KML!)

Many BYs have noted that the upcoming season will present a number of PT and player position problems for coach A resolve. How he manages the addition of 3 AA freshmen, who all want/expect to play, an AA, two AAs in-waiting, and Kelly Faris should make for some very interesing discussions this season at the BY.

Oh, I didn't forget Caroline, Brianna and Heather I just don't see how they will get many meaningful minutes in important games.

With a 10 players roster, we should all pray for an injury free season!

Don't forget that we are all just speculating.

Well, a few BYs might be projecting a little bit.

Peace,

so, saying that Doty, Buck, and Banks won't see meaningful minutes isn't projecting some? And Tuck owning the 4 for 4 years? Doubt it. Eventually? Maybe.

ctally, I know fron cruising Checkerboard Sqrare (when it was free) that her name is actually "Candance".

From wiki


During the second season of ESPN's It's the Shoes, Paul revealed to Bobbito Garcia that the "CP3" nickname came from family tradition. The combination of his initials and jersey number is strictly a coincidence. His father (Charles Paul) and older brother (C.J. Paul) are nicknamed CP1 and CP2, respectively. Paul also notes that all three men's initials are CEP."

Then he should be CEP3.

I don't know about personal family names, only speaking of public and board uses I was aware about.Mi do not remember Paul being called CP3 in college. He may have but I don't remember it.

How does someone named "C.J. Paul" have initials CEP?

I think everyone will get plenty of playing time. With all that talent on the bench, defensive pressure will be greater than ever before. No need to conserve energy and a need to "show what you've got" while you're in there. Perhaps the first 200 point game on offense, and single digit points allowed on defense (if I may be allowed a touch of Tony C).

He is a local kid.... so I knew about him in high school. And of course he went on to play for Wake Forest.... so I heard/saw alot about him in college. I dont recall ever hearing the CP3 name associated with Parker until the last few years on messageboards. Personally I think she should change her moniker to CPW

As I said I remember it from her sophomore year. Courtney Paris has, also, been referred to as CP3 but that was after Candace.

I thought it was Courtney Paris.
