Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3412271, member: 5798"] There is no one in the BY that was/is a bigger [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiah_Stokes']Kiah Stokes[/URL] fan than me. I wouldn't say anything while she was here, but now that she's gone, I'll share my thoughts about Kiah. [B]This is nothing more that my gut feeling [/B]about her situation during her time at UConn. She was a 24+ ppg scorer and double digit rebounder her senior year at Linn-Mar high school in Marion Iowa. [INDENT][LIST] [*]During her junior year, she averaged 19.9 ppg., 13.5 rpg. and 5.8 bpg. to help Linn-Mar to a 26-0 record and Iowa 4A state title. [*]As a senior, Stokes averaged 25.0 points, 14.8 rebounds and 5.1 blocks per game in her final year at Linn-Mar High School. [*]She was named the Iowa's 2010 Gatorade State Player of the year and honored as a 2011 McDonald's, Parade Magazine, WBCA All-American. [/LIST][/INDENT] She committed to UConn expecting to enjoy the same success there she had in high school, not so. She spent the first 3 years in Geno's dog house, or as Kara Wolters calls it:[I] "Casa de Bow Wow."[/I] I think she became disenchanted with her status and wanted to leave, but her parents would not support or endorse that idea. So she endured and finally was released from the "Pooch Palace" and began to blossom during her junior year. She seldom smiled much during games. If another poster has inside information on her situation of what in fact were the dynamics of her situation, I'd love to be corrected and set straight. As I said,[B] this is purely a observation from afar. I could be totally off base. I have nothing substantive to support this hypothesis.[/B] [INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
