Yes she is the most dynamic perimeter player and bucket getter in the class capable of scoring at all three levels. Think Chennedy Carter or Kelsey Mitchell but much more willing to pass and without the helicopter father.
Obviously not a whole lot of research here, having counted the UCONN/Tennessee championships wrong (obviously missing one of UT's from way back when.) and having neglected two nearby neighbor contenders (Baylor and Texas) in favor of So Car. No doubt Mr. Petty (name fits) would insist that his own child go to college nearby, possibly sacrificing a better college experience out of loyalty. He's lucky not to have grown of in the sixties, when Frank Broyles and Arkansas were ruining college football by winning 6 of ten SWC Championships.
Apparently, all he knows about WCBB is that Geno's and Pat's teams have won a lot of national championships, and that there aren't a ton of upsets in the WCBB NCAA tournament.
Yup, his writing (?) is a perfect example of why kids in Arkansas might want to get their education elsewhere.
If some yahoo reporter in AR wants to complain about UConn's dominance of WBB, that's OK by me. He just demonstrates his ignorance. But what I do find absolutely indefensible is his decision to drag a wonderful HS kid into the argument. Christyn Williams is not Kevin Durant leaving OKC for the Golden Gate Warriors. She is a teenage kid fulfilling her dream, and she should be off limits. The last thing she needs is some idiotic adult creating a potentially negative environment for her in her home state by pointing out that she never even took a visit to the University of Arkansas. The guy should be fired and his paper sued for slander.
My question for him would be, if UCONN were not dominating WCBB, would he even be aware of WCBB?
Rocky, I read the Campbell man article............It sounds like to me he needs to stay in the 'can' a while longer. I couldn't tell whether he

was mad at WCBB , UConn , or basketball coaches. Or just everybody. He seems to miss the point that players want a legitimate and Best chance of
winning a NC. Not just to participate.....Players want the Best. And Geno and UConn offer the BEST.
I wonder if the author of that article , Campbell , would want to go to work for a rundown newspaper or magazine , with no chance of his articles ever
being seen by the general public ; or without him ever having a good chance of Winning a Pulitzer. Or him ever getting paid for his work. NO.
I don't think he would be in a big hurry to work for that organization....Neither do players.

Ah looking into it a little. The "Arkansas Traveler" is the student newspaper for the Univ. of Arkansas. Sooo, that pretty much explains it.Based on the writing skill level and the exhaustive research exhibited in the article, I don't think there's any chance for any of those things happening.
I’m currently watching the Aggies beat up the Razorbacks on the SEC network, so I might give the wayward reporter from the student rag some leeway, but it was still inappropriate to reference a HS kid in his diatribe against UConn WBB.
Precisely. And in years to come when some program mounts a winning streak, the comparisons will be to some past dynasty. It's by comparing stuff to past best that people know whether something is great or not. Want something unwatchable, make sure that everyone is average. Stack the deck so that everybody plays .500 ball and see how many people pay attention.
He should stick to soup and leave us alone!
He got it half right when he said the coaching needs to improve. The other half is making a commitment to the individual porogram.
As Rocky has supplied some bait for debate it's only as Myers 7 said above a school newspaper and a student reporter.
Some folks thought that CWill was the best player in the country LAST year. I hope that she has a short learning curve. I’m not sure it will be shorter than Megan’s, though. One thing in her favor: next year, there are 2 newcomers, CWill and Olivia (maybe Ezi too!); that’s a much more manageable number than the 6 of this year. Even if Christyn and Liv are slow to develop, I don’t see Geno being as frustrated or public in his criticism. Christyn says she wants to become “legendary” and a “lockdown defender.” That requires work ethic like Maya Moore, Kelly Faris, Moriah Jefferson, and Gabby Williams.
I see a Bria Harley type learning curve for Christyn-she is going to be needed to contribute early and she will.
Big Shot Bria was an All-American as a sophomore.
