[I]What Rick Reeves remembers most about Evelyn Adebayo isn’t just what she did on the basketball court in two seasons at Gardner-Webb.

It’s how she told him she was leaving.

“Her last day there, I was out of town recruiting. She left a letter for me in my office, slid it underneath the door. One of the nicest letters I’ve ever gotten from a kid,” Reeves recalled Friday by phone. “Sometimes circumstances happen, and people need a new start.”

“She’s a very skilled player, can score inside and outside, and has a lot of potential,” Reeves said of Adebayo. “I’ve had a lot of admiration for Geno (Auriemma) as a coach, and I like him as a person. She’ll kind of fit in to his high-post offense because she can shoot it and she can put the ball on the floor. She’s got a lot of potential and a lot of versatility.”

“She has a scorer’s mentality,” Reeves said. “She wants to score.”

“I knew she had a good heart, but the fact that she expressed herself in that letter, just thanking me for bringing her to the United States, giving her an opportunity,” Reeves said, “she’s a great kid.”[/I]
