She's 6-3 but BIG, Don'[t know her weight and probably shouldn't. She has the strength to push people around as she showed vs, Stanford's bigs.
For some reason I thought she was 6'2". Thanks.
We've had the best team lately. And that sorry, no good coach was named by her peers the best in the sport for both in-game adjustments and defensive gameplan.
Well these publications have their own motivations… with that being said, half of their six players will transfer out.
Paige + Azzi
Azzi’s “ best” rating has always been theoretical. Good luck to her this year.
Yep. A bust of a #1 for sure.
Not a “bust”. It’s unfair to call an njured player a bust. It will be interesting to see who ends up being considered the best of the 2021 class.
24/25 would be her senior year academically but she has a redshirt for this past year. So two years of eligibility.
500 points heading into her senior year. Bust. Don't really care about the whys since I'm not related to her.
Azzi has played# in a total of 42 games in 3 seasons (25 out 36 in 1st year UConn, 15 out of 37 in 2nd year UConn, 2 out of 39 in 3rd year UConn).
Exactly.
You’re making a fallacious argument — appeal to authority i.e. if it were MBB instead of WBB to double down on your priors.
How is that a fallacious argument? People choose when and when not to compare the men's and women's game, and many WBB fans will gladly make the MBB comparison when it shows WBB in a more favorable light. Why cherrypick when and when not to make the comparisons?
“Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.”
The suggestion Azzi is a bust is completely off the mark. In what planet of sports is your #3 scorer on the team as a frosh that helped your team get to the WCBB Finals (let that sink in- The Finals.) a bust? On top of that she was the 3rd leading scorer in the NCAA's for UCONN her frosh year. On top of that UCONN loses to UCF in rd 2 if not for her leading UCONN in scoring. In what reality is this considered a bust for a freshman?
I love this post. Imo some UCONN fans just want to look at things all negative unless they win a title. That only could be true when UCONN is "dominant." Geno has all but said so. Anyone thinks that's wrong - we can ease get the quote.
I've been pretty firm in what I've said regarding Azzi being a bust and how this would not be an issue if her gender or school affiliation were different.
You haven't done so, as I mentioned that WCBB players do not have to go pro early for everyone to see that other players have not reached expectations (hence the label, "bust"). You can spot a WCBB bust just as easily as you can spot a MCBB one. Accolades, achievements, and statistics are still recorded and discussed in WCBB, are they not?
How is this related to the discussion of Azzi being a bust, unless you're saying that either (1) both players were considered the top prospects in their respective classes but failed to reach lofty expectations (which isn't true--neither player was the #1 player in her class) or (2) both players far exceeded expectations to the point where they were considered the top player in their respective classes once they graduated (again, untrue--as neither player is named "Aliyah Boston" or "Caitlin Clark")?
If that were the case, then why were there so many "Caitlin versus Paige" discussions during this past season? You mean to tell me that there weren't any "Stewie versus Dee" conversations back in 2015-16? Seems to me like you can have these discussions in earnest even if a player's eligibility hasn't been exhausted--as long as the outcome is favorable towards certain players. Since these conversations do not favor Azzi, we have to wait to see how her career plays out.
I do not care one bit. I have a right to my opinion as you do to yours. I am of the opinion that Azzi is a bust and nothing you've said or will say will change that.
