Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2520276, member: 7511"] Most of these top recruits were stars from the time they first picked up a basketball. So all through youth leagues, HS and AAU Ball, they played a lot and generally started. IMO, every one of them who arrives at a top program like UConn, SC, Baylor, ND, TX, etc. truly believes they will play a lot if not actually start, but they often face the harsh reality that, for the first time in their lives, they’re not good enough yet to play substantial minutes at the college level. That realization can be sobering. Add in the challenge that any college freshman feels the first time they are living away from home and the situation is ripe for disappointment and frustration that has more frequently resulted in the player transferring in recent years. Saniya Chong, who played a very limited role in her first three years at UConn before blossoming as a senior is the exception while AEH’s decision is far more typical. [/QUOTE]
