I been closely following UConn the last 4 years because of Paige and it really feels unfortunate what injuries they had to go through after her freshman year, but still making the championship the next is an impressive accomplishment with having players in and out of the rotation all that year. As much as I want her to be in the league I’m really hoping she stay one more year in hopes of having a healthy UConn especially seeing her and Azzi for a full season and tournament.

[johntatum]

Paige is so nice and a real team player. Everyone is glad she is back and healthy.

[bobbear]

The extra yr at UCONN will help her get stronger which she'll need in the pros!

[Teeman]

It actually makes more sense for Paige to return to UConn because she’ll make 3-4 times more $$ through NIL than going to WNBA. And UConn fans go to games. Not many ppl go to WNBA games.

[gregjohnston]

I’ve followed Paige since she was an 8th grader at Hopkins High School in MN. I am a long time Iowa fan and followed the triumvirate of Clark, Paige and Lexi Donarski, the tremendous talent of the Midwest states of Iowa, Mn and Wisconsin.

Sad that Page and UConn have has so many injuries.

Caitlin Clark is remarkable in so many ways - not the least of which is that she has never lost playing time due to injury and she plays the most minutes of the Iowa players.

I am a long time Iowa season ticket holder and Iowa fans are hoping Caitlin comes back for a Covid year.

It would be great to see Paige have a full injury free final season next year!

[viking_fisherman]

One more year, Paige! Give yourself a chance to play with a full healthy team with a real shot at a national championship. Plus, you’re only a kid once. Extend your college experience for as long as possible. The WNBA will still be there another year down the road.

[DaveL]

Paige you are a class act. In a world that has too few role models for young kids to look up to you are a shining star. My son and I have tickets to Big East finals at Mohegan Sun. Looking forward to watching you lead UCONN to the Big East championship. Will be following you next year no matter what league you are playing in. Remember this, you can never play another year for the Huskies after next year and the WNBA will always be there. Just saying……….

That comment about cardboard faces was so awesome! Cause the first little while, there were no cardboard faces and then it was covered with faces:) Pumped in crowd noise. I hope that NEVER happens again!

[Grommok]

Do what is best for you Paige. I hope you do well whichever way you go.

[carolynbarr]

PB keep doing what U smooth, , , , like butter 🧈 🏀🏀

[JuanVega-nsok]

The biggest adversity has been non-stop injuries, in my opinion. And I don’t mean just Paige B.

[bkmason]

Looks, talent, attitude, personality. Quadruple threat.

[BobThePearlAdams]

Always rooting for you Paige; you're a class act n tremendous player making everyone better .Please be healthy, happy n a little more selfish

[Carlospjr]

Paige & Aubrey coming back healthy is a plus for UCONN. The rest of the mash unit on the bench will be back stronger 👍🏾 can’t wait for 2024/2025 season.

[JD-nwjl]

Geno after Paige's rookie year was saying it is a bit unfair because he believes she is ready and should be a one and done player and should go to the WNBA like Jalen Suggs... and then she got injured... which made Geno say, if she was only on the WNBA then she could get everything paid by the team, there's insurance, etc... but since she is not. hard road ahead.

[arthur-rizo]

Who is she speaking about, "sisters" ?

[qkingoftears]

shes finally healthy. last thing u want is her hurt again and cant play in the league. selfish me as a uconn fan ofcourse wants her to stay another yr tho

[larrydemko]

no brainer...stay and make millions and play in packed arenas or go to wnba and make less and play in front of less people!

[olyokie]

Smart move as Clark kinda stole the limelight this season.
And deservedly so.

[glenngrinter]

Clark will be number one pick in the WNBA draft, Paige would have that chance in 2025 if she stays.🏀🏀
