How does anyone know how much money they have? The dad could have invested very poorly and lost all of it. He wouldn't be the first pro player to have gone through all of his money.
Yes, it's not how much you make, it's how much you make vs. how much you spend. Some broke folks: Pamela Anderson, Jose Canseco, Dionne Warwick, MC hammer, a bunch of lottery winners. Conversely, I had an uncle who never made more than minimum wage his whole life and died an honest multi-millionaire.How does anyone know how much money they have?

"Homesick" was once a recognizable disease/illness to be treated. As such, it isn't really about distance quantifiable in km or this or that. There is a question of groundedness, belongingness, etc. People who you meet and play with from the time you were 7 y.o are called/referred to as friends until you and them are together over a year. It is possible these individuals- while good friends in the virtual world may leave much to be desire in the world of flesh and blood. I remember my mother giving me an advice that I have kept with me since my teenage days and relationships. After intro her to my new girlfriend- Bev, she asked about the former and I said something to the effect that I met Bev and everything just clicked. Her response: what will you do when you meet Joan and things also click. As they did with Helle! Anytime I hear a player saying that they want to go and play with this and that person rather then a program/school I get out my worrying beads.
I doubt very seriously that Sylvia would ever release to her to South Carolina,
since itiswas one of her prime recruiting grounds.
If I understand it right. She has too finish the semester at UNC. Then she can talk too any school. So there is nothing confirmed only rumors.
I don't think she has to finish the semester in order to talk to other schools, i think she just has to be released from her scholarship in order to talk to other schools. If she is not released from her scholarship and other colleges try to get in contact with her it could be a NCAA violation of some sort
Only if that team every actually makes it to a final 4 to be able to face UCONN...DeShields can go wherever she wants, Uconn will put a Collier around her.
By what she writes in her Twitter I'd say she's planning to go to South Carolina.

IDK, when your family has 10's of millions, you probably don't see it the same way. She'll always have money, basketball or not.
Why would you assume her family has 10's of millions? I know her dad made millions in baseball, however probably 80% or more is gone to taxes, and expenses. Studies show a high percentage of pro athletes retire with a small net worth. Adrian Dantley played 15 years in the NBA, he is now a school crossing guard.
I would think if Diamond had the chance to make a lot of money she would jump at it. I doubt she wants her parents supporting her the rest of her life.
I'm wondering why folks think she has a chance at making $500K in the pros. That's top dog, well known, rep-based money. On top of that, she's identified being homesick (a red flag for international teams) and she hasn't had extensive experience playing against international pros. It's likely she'd been overwhelmed....
Seems to me this is a story about being unhappy with a particular college experience - not about being unhappy at having to have the college experience.
Big difference between jumping to the NBA and making many millions while living in the states and for a 19 year old moving to Europe or China to make 500K.Maybe, but consider her own words re: Andrew Wiggins...

"If that was an option for women, I could see myself doing that," DeShields said. "Andrew is having a blast in college, I'm sure, but he has a family he wants to provide for and things he wants to do that he can do in a couple more months if he just signs his name on a line and plays basketball."

That's misleading: you've worded it to seem as if Dantley is a school crossing guard because he's broke and needs the money, NOT because it simply gives him something to do with his time, and that he's actually just as notoriously frugal with his money as he's always been (it was legendary during his time as a player in the NBA), and that after 15 yrs as a player, and 7 as an asst. coach, he's still a millionaire.....
Someone posted on Cockytalk today that A'ja said UCONN was her 2nd choice, followed by UT and UNC. She inferred in her press conference that the decision was made within a couple of days of her announcement. I think her parents were glad that she's staying close to home. If I'm not mistaken, her dad is in his 60's, so a ton of travel might have been a little bit tough.When do you think she knew where she was going? That's an interesting part of the saga, too.

If you have to travel 800 miles to see a game? Maybe. Did I hit a nerve, DD? I'm no spring chicken, myself. (pun intended)Someone in their sixties has travel issues?
You're killin' me, leghorn.
Get on a plane. Take a nap. Get off a plane.If you have to travel 800 miles to see a game? Maybe. Did I hit a nerve, DD? I'm no spring chicken, myself. (pun intended)
