The Strong, silent type: UConn’s standout is making basketball stardom look easy

Sarah Strong has the most jump-off-the-page talent in the women’s game since Caitlin Clark, and UConn greats say she could be the best of them

Former WNBA All-Star turned Boston Celtics executive Allison Feaster was recently asked about the differences between high-level female and male hoopers.

Most of the professionals have four-year degrees and even advanced degrees. Many of the professional women have lived outside of the US. Some of them are parents who are the primary caregiver. That is a very general observation, but I venture to say that’s not the same with the NBA players.”
