Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4271192, member: 26"] The story as I recall... She got an offer early on, delayed for a long while, then "apparently" (this is all 3rd and 4th hand info) wanted to verbal and called one of the assistant coaches and was told "I'm not sure if the offer is still on the table. Will check with Geno". Not sure what happened after that - if no one from UCONN called her back, or if they did and said "sorry - no offer any longer". Either way she ended up at ND and had a nice freshman year. I felt like we could have used an extra player - whoever compared her to Anna Makurat seems about right. Sam is stronger and better in the post, but not as good at ball handling or passing. But "skill and capability-wise", seems to be about at the level of Anna... I know Anna started, but on a team with Danger, Irwin, Bent, Camara, Adebayo, Walker, Williams, ONO and Griffin (was Evina on the team Anna's freshman season?), I think starters were Crystal, Christyn, Anna, Megan and Olivia. Anna was more advanced as a freshman than most other players... but injuries plagued her and I'm not sure what her PT would have been as Paige, Nika, Azzi and Caroline came on board... [/QUOTE]
