Message: [QUOTE="Darwin, post: 4638458, member: 12534"] I think it is possible she has a school in the favored position that has not given a full green light to her yet, perhaps an academic review issue like would occur at a Stanford type school. She may also be “negotiating” and researching NIL business decisions between her final choices, the kind of work her hired PR firm is likely doing. It’s sometimes more involved than the fans realize. This is a different era. For the very top players NIL revenue is a big deal. They have no guarantees of such revenue beyond college unless they actually do well enough in the WNBA to maintain their national branding. It’s a purely business decision is some respects, and you can’t blame the player. You have to maximize your worth while it is there. Some have posted a big brand type like Van Lith can do it anywhere, but that is not the whole story, you can do it better in some places. If any of you were the parent of a college player in this position, you would likely want them to make decisions that would maximize their financial security for beyond college. Having said all that, I agree with most that she ends up at LSU. Maybe the only reservation I have there, and it is small, is would she want to co-exist alongside another player that likely garners more PR attention on her own team? She won’t out do Reese at LSU, she will be #2 there. Same if she was at a UCONN, #2 or #3 there. Ditto for Iowa. Would she climb above Brink at Stanford? You get the point, she has gotten used to being #1 on her team. Will she defer that role now for a championship run? I mean her teams had that kind of potential at UL already. [/QUOTE]
