Message: [QUOTE="TCLG, post: 4374006, member: 43"] Hello! It's been a while. I was reading up on Ms. Shade's transfer and being from Indiana, I wish her the best, but I hate the move. She will NOT be Ms. Basketball, which she would deserve if she had her normally productive year next season - "Award based on senior season "only".....but in reality other circumstances come into play - see Kennitra Johnson vs. April McDivitt. I looked up LaLumiere's schedule and I didn't know many of the teams they beat. One did stand out - South Bend Washington - probably the best team in the state at the end of last year but they were in 3A - Noblesville is 4A. Next year SBW moves up to 4A due to being in the state finals in 3A the last two years. LaLu beat SBW by one in a controversial finish last season. That could have been a wonderful matchup to see who went to the State Finals for the northern half of Indiana, even though it would have seemed much more like the real state final game, and they were also slated to play earlier in the season on Nov 26th. I love her game. She's a great athlete - not quite a Kelly Faris, but I do like the Doty reference. Her offensive skill set is phenomenal. As an Indiana HS basketball fan, I am sad she will not be playing the normal sate of games in my area that she normally would have, because I would have went to watch her play a few of them. As far as her former school is concerned, the school resources should not be in question. The gym and weight room are very good for a high school and if you know Indiana gyms, they are sacred. Noblesville sits 4000 plus, LaLu has a very unique gym and maybe sits 500. Noblesville [ATTACH type="full"]78615[/ATTACH] LaLu [ATTACH type="full"]78616[/ATTACH] I hope she's making the right choice. When I originally heard this, I though she was going to rescind her commitment to UConn. I just didn't see a reason to make that move - and I'm also realistic enough to know that I do need to or have to understand their decisions and the rationale behind it as I am sure they are doing what is best for her. The schedule her former team (Noblesville) plays is very good and she would have faced talented players regularly and had a chance to compete for another state title. I'm just disappointed I won't get to see as much of it. [/QUOTE]
