Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4758004, member: 12088"] Strong would be the foundation of another dominant team, especially if she could play next to Jana and Ice for a couple years and with Morgan and Allie for 4 years. It's not just that she's talented. She's also the sort of player the rest of the team can depend on. That's the salient feature about the kids Geno recruits -- players who can take the team on their shoulders on any given night. Paige can do it, of course, and Azzi too. But also Caroline and Aaliyah and Aubrey have proven it too. I suspect Ice, KK and Ashlynn will step up in this respect, too -- it's exactly who they were in HS. And we saw Jana do that over the summer before the injury. If Strong recognizes this about the Huskies, I can't imagine she won't want to be a part of that. And just to reflect on [USER=8262]@Bills Fan[/USER]'s remark, Sanford is a rural area about 45 miles from the Research Triangle. It's true that UNC and Duke have to be a draw for Strong. But Storrs will feel rather more like Sanford than Durham or Chapel Hill. In other words, it might not be as tough a sell as at first appears, especially if she wants to win an NC or two. Columbia SC is not close enough to feel local. [/QUOTE]
