Geno beat IOWA without Paige. Just imagine what he'd do if his team includes Paige. Caitlin is a great player. I dislike her cheering herself. DT did that in Tenn, but Tenn asked for it. She, Caitlin is a top player. How she shows her stuff at the next level shall tell us all whether she is GREAT or just very good. I agree until Paige plays she is an unknown quantity, rust and lack of game time take their toll.I think we all have to admit that no one knows how good Paige will be next season. In terms of playing experience and development, she is nearly two full seasons behind Clark, for example. Plus, no one knows whether there will be any lingering limitations resulting from her injury. Of course, I wish her nothing but the fullest recovery and development possible, but to believe that she will immediately be the equal of Clark or that she will simply resume her play as if nothing had happened is unfair to her. We have to wait and see and hope--which is a lot harder than it sounds.
Confidence is what separated DT and Caitlin from the REST.
The Ohio St game needed a lot more confidence. You can bet your EDSIL that if the same happens next year Geno shall be ready.
