BREAKS MY HEART!
Best wishes to Autumn, you are one of my favorites!
Autumn, consider exercise physiology as part of your PRE- MED
studies, then .. use if for you future (side job) coaching position!! ( or
as part of SPORTS MEDICINE??). Then there is the speciality of PSYCHIATRY.
You could add something to the Xs and Os of the " INNER GAME
of BASKETBALL".
I will be following your career, Sincerely, ZARATHUSTRA
 
Dear AUTUMN,
Consider contacting COLGATE UNIVERSITY!!
Great for Pre- Med,( they give a type of athletic
scholarship), and a great new Head Coach.!!!
Check it out!!!

I'll miss Autumn's intense gaze over Geno's left shoulder. The notion she can follow Shea to Vanderbilt is a fairy tale (you watch, it'll happen). Wish her all the best in finding a new basketball home.

I remember Frank Sinatra (a few years back) saying that "Fairy tales can come true (it can happen to you) if you're young at heart"!! :rolleyes: It must be true. He wouldn't say it if it wasn't so would he? :eek:

No athletic scholarships in the Ivy League

No scholarships in the traditional sense, but very lucrative financial aid packages that leave little in the way of out of pocket expenses. Yale, Harvard and Princeton are pretty much tuition free for middle to low income students.
 
I would think returning to her home state and joining Kim at LSU would be a nice transfer.

My first thought is that there must have been a reason why she only got 15 minutes of PT and no scholly offer. I thought she played well during those limited minutes but I wonder why she was on the bench during so many blow outs.

I’m pretty sure there was mention of an injury during the latter part of the season.

May she find a full scholarship at a school where she can get lots of playing time and prepare for medical school.

Last I heard, Dartmouth had an opening for a coach, and it has a fine med school, and as Horace Greeley forgot to say, "Go north, young lady!"

Also, since Courtney Banghart graduated, the program has been in need of rebuilding.

I think this would be a win for both Shea and Autumn, assuming Shea has openings for a guard. Autumn gets a Vandy Scholarship, and still has a UConn coach. And then stays on for grad school. Shea gets a properly indoctrinated kid that could be with her for four more years as a grad student, and then two more years as a grad assistant. Win/win all the way around. :D :cool: :)
 
I feel badly, but mostly because she didn’t get to play in Gampel when it was packed to the rafters and really rocking. Even if a player only makes one bucket in the last two minutes of a blow out, the fans will make it really special. The whole team got a little cheated in that way.

Sad day….I really liked her but understand..too much talent at UCONN …she could have gotten a few more minutes on blowouts….but Geno does not like cleanup time….
 
And the class clown says "Autumn leaves in the spring?" :confused: :eek::D
Good luck to Autumn such a class act, student and teammate. She certainly won the endearment of us UConn fans. This had to be an extremely hard decision for her and I hope the next stop is a place where she can thrive on the court and in the classroom.
As stated by others she will be followed by the fans of two schools now.

Your post reminds me that I suggested on the BY when UConn first announced that Autumn would be attending as a walk-on that she would be a crowd favorite, who was likely to generate tremendous crowd reaction whenever she buried a 3 during mop up time. I too am sorry Autumn never had the opportunity to experience the love and support of the fans at Gampel or Hartford.

Trivia fact is that the school that became Dartmouth could have been in Columbia, Ct. It was started as a school for Native Americans whose founder wanted to set up in Columbia, but the town refused. So, there would have been two Columbia Universities?

Everyone is talking about athletic scholarships, but with her academic background, I would think she could get an academic scholarship and be a walk-on someplace else if she can't get a basketball one. She will land somewhere and succeed in life and perhaps have some basketball success too, it's just it may not be at one of her dream schools.

True that, but what later became Columbia College, and ultimately Columbia University n the City of New York, was founded as King's College. Dartmouth sprung up in the wilds of New Hampshire about fifteen years later for the education of "Indians and Other Heathen". I guess they admitted me as one of the latter category.

She is a straight A student at high school...

Autumn, who had a perfect 4.0 GPA in high school and was the valedictorian of her class, plans to go to medical school one day. This would requires a strenuous undergraduate program, the type that doesn’t pair well with life as a Division I athlete.

I hate to see her go, but there is something to be said about having a dream and working hard to make it happen -- even if it doesn't end the way you may have hoped.

Autumn definitely has the talent to make a difference at a smaller program and I hope she kills it wherever she lands.

PS - I would be THRILLED if she landed at Vanderbilt with Shea.

It is a heck of thing to walk on at Uconn and go to the final four. An experiance that she will cherish for the rest of her life. I hope she goes to Vanderbilt also.

There are thousands of D1 athletes who later went to medical school. Time management is of course essential, but there is nothing about being a D1 athlete that prevents that. Piano majors practice eight hours a day as undergrads and a sizable number of them become Physicisns.

I went back and double-checked because I had recalled reading that Autumn had scholarship offers prior to last year so it wasn't an issue of not getting any offers. They just weren't to schools she was sure she wanted to play for and Uconn had offered her a walk-on spot. It had always been her dream to play at Uconn so she decided to give it a shot. Now a year later things have changed with less playing time available she probably decided it was best to see if the scholarship opportunities are better this time around.

You need to read this,

At the DI level, most of Autumn’s offers came from low-major schools. However, there was one power conference school that was in the AP Top 10 as recently as last season that showed interest, pulled off but then came back late in the process with an offer.

Can't be a walk on with a scholarship to a school - any scholarship counts against the athletic scholarship limit for the highest ranked sport you participate in (for women that is WCBB.) This is to prevent schools from bypassing scholarship limits for sports by giving athletes 'academic' scholarships and then having them play a sport.
