[I][B]Nelson-Ododa, a straight-A student who takes honors courses and wants to study medicine,[/B] has made official visits to Connecticut, Florida State and South Carolina. She will tour Duke next weekend.

After the Duke trip, she said she will "compare and contrast" her finalists and could make a decision at that point.

[B]"What I'm looking for is a strong balance between basketball and academics[/B], and a program where I can fit in well," she said. "I keep notes with me, and I'm constantly analyzing each school."

I read things like this and immediately think about how Duke WBB should be cleaning up with kids like Olivia.  The fact that the Duke athletic department is apparently okay that it doesn't is mind-boggling.  Maybe Olivia will choose Duke but in important respects (academics, location) it should be a no-brainer.

Georgia and UConn are ranked about the same academically (Georgia a couple slots higher nationally and for public universities), followed by FSU and then SC.

Lots to analyze but most of these decisions come down to where recruits [I]feel[/I] most comfortable.
