Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 4391754, member: 1220"] People have no concept the amount of time young kids spend on developing their BB skills today. I watched DeCosta play since she was a feshman in high school. There were articles in the Sac Bee about her athletic back ground and the time she spent on developing her skill even before she entired high school. The pressure for her was obviously overwhelming since everyone had such high expectations for her. I remember that sometimes in games she would seemingly zone out and it all becomes evident now what the cause was. I also remember some one posting on this site and others about her being a spoiled arrognt over rated player who could not relate to teammates, or handle the pressure of not being as good as advertised, as being the reason for why she left Baylor. She was actually shy and withdrawn not arrogant. Much of the issues she had at Baylor were related to transitioning from a post player to a guard position. It also did not help that suddely grad transfers were making it more difficult at her positions. I do not remember the posters name who spent a lot of effort on various sites villifying Decosta's character, but I hope they take [B]Argonauts[/B] post about being judgemental to heart. [/QUOTE]
