Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2323347, member: 5798"] I was being factious when I suggested that there might be a long shot, or outside chance that Turner could finish her career at UConn. It was nothing more than wishful thinking. Last year, [B]Lily Thompson[/B] left Stanford for ND after 3 years, so it would not be unprecedented, although I must admit highly unlikely for a lot of reasons. Oldude, your scenario is very plausible. We all remember [B]Morgan Tuck[/B] saying that she would return for her "red-shirt" senior year. At the time she said that, she probably meant it, but things and times change. When it came time for the rubber to meet the road (when she had to make a decision whether or not to declare for the WNBA draft), she chose to leave with her classmates, and enter the draft. I believe as many other BY'ers do that [B]IF[/B] she had returned for her 4th year, UConn would have won the NC. Not only would she have provided 4th year veteran leadership, she would have provided Geno with more team depth and experience. [I] Senior[/I] [B]Saniya Chong[/B] would have been the 6th man instead of [I]freshman[/I] Crystal Dangerfield. Turner's mindset may shift/change come March, and she may no longer wish to return. I'm NOT saying it will, just that it can. She is a senior, and will be eligible to graduate this spring. She may wish to turn the page, and move on to the next chapter in her life, which[B] if she[/B] [B]is completely healthy, [/B]should include at the very least, a serious look in the WNBA. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
