Quote of the Day: Jeff Goldberg
From Bird at the Buzzer:
"From the moment she arrived in Storrs in the fall of 1998, Sue Bird was thrust into a world of sky-high expectations. Bird's incoming freshman class was touted as the best -- and most diverse - of Auriemma's career. Bird and [Keirsten] Walters were the guards, while Swin Cash, Tamika Williams, and Asjha Jones manned the post. Of the five, Bird was considered the lowest-ranked -- at seventeenth -- in the national recruiting surveys. The other four were considered top-ten prospects."
