Diana Taurasi - From Somewhere

[Lobo50Fan]

I don't know if this has been posted in here at all. If it has been, I apologize. I've loved this video since I first saw it. A lot of it, most probably already know but I like that she identifies so much with where she's from and how it has shaped her.

Wow

Where did this come from?? Great find. Well known that Geno brought a bottle of Taurasi wine to the in-home visit. Started pitching in Italian and Mama Taurasi knew it was a done deal. Never heard that he jumped on the team after the loss to ND in Diana's first tournament.

GREAT video. That's a keeper for sure.

So my brother in law and I went to Don Lugo HS Ds freshmen year to watch her play. It was amazing. You could tell then that she was something special. We were amazed at how good she was as a freshmen.

Thanks for that post. I had not seen it... "You go to work" - every kid in the country should hear that every day.

Geno on DT: No one else has taken two new starting 5s to the Chaampionship. He recently reiterated this point about DT that sets her apart.

Edit: No one has taken ONE new starting lineup to the Championship...DT did it TWICE.

Though one might argue that she was part passenger and part driver in 2002. We know she was a combo of Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon in 2003 and 2004.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the video. I don't remember how I came across it. It was either in a recommended section on YouTube or it was on Facebook. I've always had a bit of a soft spot for D. Her class was the first I watched all four years. It was definitely a treat and continues to be through her pro career.

Thanks Lobo that was great!
Geno tells the story with Sue Bird on GENO SHOW that in the 2001 semi at FF vs ND UCONN up 18 at 1/2 time when ND, Ratay, hits a 3 at the buzzer to 15 point lead and he went berserk in the locker room for full 15 minutes, how could they allow that to happen! Players shocked and went out and lost! He asked Sue if she and the others finally forgave him for that. Sue said, nothing to forgive, we still should have won!
He said, that 2001 had the most talent of any team in WCBB history! 7 All-Americans, 7 Olympians.
If Svet & Shea weren't hurt UCONN wouldn't have lost that game, yelling or not. Two veteran presence that would have calmed everyone down!
Geno calls Taurasi the Greatest Winner in the history of WBB!
