Thanks for the additional inf re Recee's early years! I had remembered sometime ago reading about the
connection between Recce and Jordan Canada. I think it may have been when they were both members of the
USA 16 team a year and a 1/2 ago! I think prior to Recee moving, they were good friends and were teammates
on S CA teams. I must have read that on the USA site.
If UCLA is seriousely being considered,it is not for there fan base
for womens basketball. They have had some good /a few great basketball
players since the 70s. Since Womens BB exploed they really have not been
been close to being an elite team,no fan base,with Oliver the Coach for almost 20 years
until she stepped down/fired and Caldwell became Coach.
When Caldwell left,screwing over the program,the current Coach was hired.
The current Coaching Staff have been very aggressive/active in going after elite
players! Coming up just short numerous times,but continuing to
spend alot of time pursuing the Elite! They did get Nina Fields,but that seemed
like a unique situation. Her "Dad" was at the time new Coach of the Lakers
Mke Davis!
If Recee anounces for UCLA,I believe it would be an emotional decision. plus being sold
on the idea of building UCLA into an elite womens program. Having lived
there for almost half of my life,they have never been able to develop the kind of fan base
that the Elite Programs have. They do have new facities and the "NEW" Pauley Pavilion!
So if one thinks that Recee picks UCLA you would also have to think that they would
lead for Jordan Canada! Hmmmm
