Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 4894779, member: 11252"] Just want to shout out Jana Van Gytenbeek. She's been playing really well over the last 7 games (double figure scoring in 5). She dropped 19 tonight vs Cincinatti. But she has an interesting story. I think she was a top 50 recruit out of Colorado. She heads to Stanford, wins a Natty but doesn't get much playing time. Then as a sophomore has a couple good games but still doesn't really get that much burn on a Stanford team that really needed outside shooting. She decides to transfer to Baylor, and last year still gets limited playing time. I really thought she was going to break out. And then this off season, they bring in a slew of guards from the transfer portal and I felt bad for her. But Nikki Collen always says she has the best attitude. And she's come off the bench and played a little all season but the past like 3 weeks she's been playing amazing. Just a great story about perseverence thats even inspirational to me who is much older. Seems like she kept doing the right things and is somewhat having her moment. Also, its just crazy, cause Coach Collen basically said Van Gytenbeek's story mirrors her story. So in my mind, I'm like why don't you play her then. But life just kinda works itself out a lot of times. That's my rant. Good win by Baylor. Still can be a scary team that host if they end the season well IMO. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
