For those who are newbies or forgot:

"It's been hard, she hasn't been healthy with wrist and Achilles issues," Auriemma said. "And the other problem is the academic issues we are trying to work through. It's like she hasn't been there. It's been a struggle, it really has. It's been a struggle for her, not so much for us, but a huge struggle for her."

Boykin, a 6-foot-2 forward, averaged 21.5 points in six games last season before getting hurt in high school. Her career ended with 1,225 points, 659 rebounds and 247 assists and she was still voted a McDonald's All-American after being the Gatorade player of the year in Maryland as a junior. She was also a highly decorated USA Basketball player, having won three gold medals in international competition.

I was disappointed at this departure and felt she would have made a significant contribution.  Hope she's back at it soon.
