Message: [QUOTE="Bonpland, post: 4293390, member: 6000"] I'm a little surprised that there have only been a few mentions of Collier. My entire family has been UCONN WBB fans since '93. My daughters grew up idolizing the players. They were teenagers when Taurasi led the team up the mountain twice after Sue and Swin's class left and so the call, [I]TAURASI! [/I]rang out whenever one of them would hit a basket in the yard here. The number 3 jersey still hangs in their old bedroom and so they were stunned when I told them that after following the team closely for all these years my absolute all-time favorite player is Napheesa. As Darkstar pointed out she got more from her frame than any other player I've ever seen play the game. Is she UCONN's greatest player? No. We can discuss just which four of our all time greats get chisled in stone and admittedly she wouldn't be one of them, but if you want to be impressed with how the game should be played for every minute that a player is on the court watch the replays of the '17 season and you'll see what the greatest team not to win a championship did every night with Collier never taking a breather while she was standing on the court, She was relentless, moving constantly and outplaying bigger more heralded players. I've liked many players who were not the biggest name on a given team (Ashley Battle comes to mind) but I've never been more entertained or impressed by a player game in and game out than I have been with Pheesa.
