Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2918952, member: 7511"] Stanford is a great university and Haley Jones may well end up there. But if you asked her to project her anticipated career after college it would most certainly involve basketball. When it comes to WBB, UConn awards more P.H.D.’s than any school on the planet. Does anyone really believe that Gabby or Lou, both of whom decided to choose UConn over Stanford, would have somehow developed their games to the same level, or had a better overall experience in college if they attended Stanford? Haley Jones is an intelligent, articulate young lady. By now, I suspect she has weighed all the pros and cons and made her choice. If she selects Stanford, whatever reasons she outlines, imo the single most important one will be the proximity of Stanford to her family. When UConn has lost top recruits in the past few years (Wilson, Cox, etc.) it has invariably been to a school near their home. However, until Haley Jones states otherwise, I will continue to remain optimistic that she will follow DT, KML, Gabby & Lou to earn her advanced degree at the “Oxford” of WBB [/QUOTE]
