Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4162682, member: 7511"] I will acknowledge that Boston’s decision to attend SC certainly created much angst among the BY faithful. But I view her HS career at Worcester Academy much the same as Kamilla Cardoso’s HS career at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga. Both were part of a growing trend that has existed for some time in MBB where talented, overseas players matriculate to the US for HS. While UConn recruited Boston hard, and she made numerous visits to Storrs to watch games, imo, from a geographic standpoint, UConn had no more of a hometown advantage than TN had with Cardoso. Through the years almost all of UConn’s great post players were born and raised in the Northeastern US, including Rebecca, Kara, Tina, Steph & Stewie. Unfortunately, the Huskies have been runner up more times than we care to remember with players like Wilson, Cox & Boston, none of whom necessarily grew up with UConn as their hometown dream school.
