Shaeffer gets another dangerous volume scorer. She'll be their next Victoria Vivians.

Have you ever heard those god awful cowbells? Not so quiet in Starkville.

But what will that get them? At this point in the history of WBB nobody knows how to do it better than Geno & CD, so unless she learns a lesson from her brief experience at UCONN where will it take her? If she didn’t have the right attitude, approach, commitment or whatever to stick at THE best program, then how can she exceed the opportunity she left?

Not saying I know why AEH decided to leave...but when it was first announced, I remembered a segment on the first Geno show this season...Nov 17th, I believe,.... her only on camera by her self moment, when she talked about how much harder it was than she thought, how much the conditioning was ratcheted up ... 100% from what she knew or expected... and the key line... "...the Geno wrath is real... it's not a myth." So I was not surprised...

Her choice of MSST is very interesting...perhaps a desire to be with a "contender"... I don't know how Vic runs his program, but if it's close to how Geno runs his, it will be very interesting... of course she'll be a couple years more mature and perhaps better equipped to handle it.

Good Luck to her...is all I have to end with.

Oh dear, as if UCONN/Geno did not already have enough motivation to destroy Mississippi State the next time the two teams meet. I can't wait to see these two teams play and how this all plays out for the next 4 years and beyond.

I don’t think that AEH heading to Starkville will have any impact on Geno’s motivation. While McGowan returns next year, the core of MS St graduates. This year is MS St’s one and likely only chance to win a national championship.

But they aren’t good enough to do it.

you're most likely correct but who knows maybe Vic will be able to get some other quality recruits to continue the team's good run in the future.............he seems to do a really great job working with good but not great players which really shows what an excellent coach he is......

Sometimes just a change of scenery is enough to reset and recharge. Just because she didn't thrive at UConn doesn't mean she can't elsewhere in a different environment under different coaching personalities and expectations.

AEH cannot be as good as Saniya in volume scoring ...
But your school will have no chance to get #1 seed in 2019-2020 should be your worry.

In the original thread about AEH transferring and considering 6 possible schools I speculated that she might want to go to a school that would enable her to show Geno what he was missing out on. Her choice of MSST appears to be just that. No doubt she wants to play for a winner and possibly beat UCONN in the process. I have a funny feeling we will be learning a lot more about her motivations in the near future.
 
I read the thread with frankly mixed emotion. Bravo to everyone who wishes her well, because, in the end, we want that for all our good young people. And we really aren't sure what went on at UConn, what motivated who to do what. all that is speculation that's not appropriate to put in writing and cast out for the world to see (and repeat as if it were fact). But I have to admit that I don't feel good about any of this, and in particular her quick decision. Can't and don't want to put words to thoughts, but just saying feelings are mixed.

I understand your feeling.

I think Vic takes great care of his kids..............they seem to be a close knit group so hopefully she will be a big part of that...........

Well, now she’ll get to play against the Lady Vols! Wouldn’t have had that opportunity at UConn.
 
It does sound like a quick decision with culture shock being a likely result. That said, congrats and best wishes to Andi and Vic.
 
I hope she is very happy in Starkvegas. Trust me, it's not for everyone but it isn't a bad town at all. I look forward to seeing what she brings to the table.

Uh, agree. Crickets here...

I was thinking maybe ND but regardless.....why would she want to transfer to another program with a fiery head coach who doesn't put up with any nonsense when she just left one?

Maybe that wasn't the problem.

People are making a lot of assumptions in this thread. We'll see how long it remains open.
