“She is literally the same person”

Chelsea Sherrod is at the top of Sarah Strong, and said so much by making her a comparison of the players. The analyst compared the first -year phenomenon to the former Uconn Maya Moore star in an episode of “Big East Energy” published on YouTube on Saturday.

Sherrod underlined the development of Strong, which was exposed because it served as a coherent starter to the Huskies in its first year campaign. The striker started in 40 games during the winning season of the UCONN National Championship.

“The great thing about Sarah last year was as if we had a full season of Sarah, and I was really able to see its evolution because it was playing at night and the evening,” said Sherrod.

Sherrod compared the constant presence of Strong on the ground at Azzi Fudd, whose time in Uconn was affected by a certain number of injuries. This season, the goalkeeper has played 34 games, most of his university career.

“The only thing about Azzi is that yes, it was like in and go out last year, but if we get a full year of Azzi playing at a high level and if Sarah Bat, then Bravo to Sarah,” said Sherrod.

Sherrod offered a daring comparison of players for Strong. The analyst said Strong was similar to the legend of Maya Moore Huskies. Moore was a quadruple AP All-American, double player of the year AP and double champion of the NCAA.

Moore was then selected n ° 1 in the draft of WNBA 2011. She spent the entire career of eight seasons with Minnesota and was an All-Star champion, four times four times the WNBA and the 2014 MVP on the way to be appointed to the temple of renown.

“”[Strong’s] Just amazing, “said Sherrod.” I mean, everyone says she is Maya Moore Esque. She is literally the same person. “”

Sherrod has great hopes for Strong as she seeks to rely on an impressive first -year campaign and to compete with Fudd.
