Funny so far that she has not visited Mulkeyland. This board and many internet “pundits” forecasted that she would choose Kim. But crickets so far.

I’m sure she has visited U of Washington MANY times

As an astute SC fan, I am curious on your perspective about Edwards. To me, she is not UConn nor SC type of player but that is strictly from a very limited outsiders view of reading her quotes and seeing her limited interviews. I don't know how she would fit in at SC given what you already have and the type of gams style Dawn likes to play. She seems to fit more into Mulkeyland than any other top program.

Doesn't seem that she knows what she wants. She is just making the rounds at this point.

Not quite sure what you mean unless it's just a personality thing you're getting at.

Overall Mulkey and Dawn and Vic have similar goals as far as how they want to do it.

Just curious, what makes you think she isn't a good fit at SC? To me she looks exactly like a Dawn type of player--very athletic, long, and her style of play reminds me a lot of Joyce Edwards but with better range on her shot.

Say what? She took only one official visit last Fall to Tennessee. Her taking an additional 3 official visits this past week does NOT indicate she doesn't know what she wants. SMH

Not sure why she chose not to visit LSU (so far) this Spring despite having a scheduled official last Fall which she canceled after committing to Tennessee. Perhaps newcomers (to her Fall finalists) Louisville and Texas caught her eye more recently after she re-opened her recruitment and she wasn't feeling LSU. Perhaps LSU didn't reach out to her after she was released from LOI from Tennessee. There's still time for Edwards to take an official visit to LSU. Consecutive official visits to S. Carolina, Louisville, and Texas these last 6-7 days is as much as one can cram in a week.
