Paige Bueckers is widely regarded as the best player in the country and a role model for young women aspiring to enter the world of women’s basketball, according to Geno Auriemma.

The Paige Bueckers era, a legacy that will endure

Since arriving at UConn, Paige Bueckers has been more than just an exceptional player. She has been the face of the team, the undisputed leader, and an inspiration for future generations.

For Geno Auriemma, there is no doubt, Paige Bueckers is the best player in the country. But as with all things, her time with the Huskies will come to an end, leaving one big question, what’s next for the team after her departure?

While UConn continues its pursuit of its first title since 2016, the head coach is already looking ahead. “You know the end is near, so you try to enjoy it and stretch it out as much as possible because you don’t want it to end,” Paige Bueckers said about her final run with the Huskies.

Who will take the lead after Paige Bueckers leaves?

The challenge for Geno Auriemma will be immense. With 11 national titles under his belt, maintaining UConn dominance after losing a star like Paige Bueckers won’t be easy. However, the coach already has a plan in motion to keep the Huskies at the top.

One name on UConn radar is Serah Williams, a talented former Wisconsin player who recently entered the transfer portal.

Williams, a dominant center averaging 17.4 points and 10.7 rebounds, could be the key piece to strengthening the team’s frontcourt.

With Azzi Fudd leading the perimeter and Williams potentially anchoring the paint, UConn is working to build a competitive roster for the post-Bueckers era.

The question remains, can the Huskies sustain their legacy without Paige Bueckers? The upcoming season will provide answers, but one thing is certain, Bueckers impact on the program will be unforgettable.
