Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2221456, member: 5798"] Buzzy, You like a few other posters here are quick to over react to a simple harmless comment. Here's what I wrote: "[I]Not so fast my friend. [B]Maya didn't look like the Maya we now know her first day on campus.[/B] She was coached, cultivated and nurtured by Geno and staff. The same staff that will coach Megan. I realize Maya as a UConn icon and legend. She's on the "Mount Rushmore" of UConn women basketball players.I'm not saying she is, I'm just wondering IF she may be. Another Maya will come along someday. If not at UConn, then somewhere else. It's almost unfair to compare any player to her, the pressure and expectations to rise her game to that level, and maintain it, would be enormous. Extraordinarily great players do come along from time to time. Only time will tell if Megan is one of those players. We should know by the end of her junior year, maybe sooner.[/I]" It was in response to another poster's comment. You're reading between the lines, and taking what I said completely out of context. I asked (wondered out loud) if Megan could be the 2nd coming of Maya. The Maya didn't look like the Maya we know today [B]was not[/B] in reference to the Maya in the WNBA, but the Maya in her senior year at UConn. My inference was simply this: [B]The Maya on her last day on campus in no way resembled the Maya on her first day on campus. [/B]Plain and simple. NO disrespect to Maya meant or implied. I'm only talking about Maya's playing days in college, not the W. The "UConn" Maya that we remember TODAY, is the Maya the last time we saw her in a UConn uniform. You obviously have not been reading my posts lately. I revere Maya. I would never demean her. To suggest that I was or would is demeaning and offensive to me. If you don't/can't understand my posts, instead of guessing what I meant, respond back just ask me to further explain. I've always stood by what I write. I don't demean or disrespect any of our girls past or present. It's not my style. I'm a fan, not a critic. [/QUOTE]
