No NIL jealousy at UConn towards Paige Bueckers. Last month for Christmas she and Nike gifted her teammates some of her new Nike merchandise including her new signature sneakers. Yesterday, she and Nike gifted brand new iPhones to all her teammates. She has said that she is blessed and feels so happy that she gets to play the game she loves. Some of you don't like her because she is from UConn, but in spite of that she is a really good person. We love her for the person she is, and not just her basketball talents.

Paige is a great person, and this is not about BB. She is obviously one of the best WBB players, but I have seen enough from her off the court to realize how good of a person she is. I was able to see many of the videos she did for Nike and her brand series on YouTube. The one she did with Fulwiley is special to me, but all of them showed her special character.

Thx Cory. Kitts and Feagin will need to pick up the slack down low now. SC will probably use more 3-4 guard sets in the future. Edwards will also see more minutes now obviously. It’s a big loss however, esp defensively. SC will still have nine solid rotation players, but getting thin in the post with quality defense. Watkins was so hard to shoot over.

Does Dauda finally get minutes that she deserves

I don't know as Dauda seems slow and tentative when she plays. She was billed as having a 3 point shot but haven't seen it yet. More impressed with Tac ( especially late against Mizzou ) as she continues to shake off the rust after missing almost two years. While SC has several bigs, Tac is our only big-big with an upside who will only get better.

I remember when Coates went down, and everyone wrote the team off. Dawn revamped the roster and won her 1st. national championship. Dawn knows her roster and she has proven she can adjust in situations like this. I know we are better with Watkins but someone will step forward.

Dawn also had Aja Wilson. Kitts and Feagin aren’t that.

The combination of talent is MUCH greater now than it was then. This is a complete team whereas the team in 2017 was not a team that the bench played a huge role. I will agree that the talent level across the WBB arena is much better but there is way too much talent on this team to say Watkins loss will derail the chances of another title. It was going to be hard with or without her but the talent level is there to make up for it.
