Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 5247348, member: 35"] Just for the record: Elena had a very close relationship with her older sister...who was severely handicapped...from birth. Elena considered herself as a prime caretaker...along with other members of her family. She obviously thought she could go to a university away from home and handle the absence it would create. If she had stayed a bit longer, maybe that would have happened....who knows? She did not handle that absence....even for 3 days. She called Dad and got a ride home to be with her sister for personal reasons....finally attending Delaware...as close to home as possible. I can sure see how UConn fans were disappointed in her decision. But I can also see why she made it...and in retrospect hope that it was the appropriate one for Elena/her sister and the family in terms of hoops... and more important matters. I would not characterize her leaving for her very own personal reasons as 'bailing out'. 'Enuf said by me on this topic. [/QUOTE]
