Message: [QUOTE="biobioprof, post: 2678092, member: 8869"] I think the internet has been thinking about the NC condition in the wrong way... at least I have. I'm now thinking she's not being a NCAA version of Kevin Durant looking for her version of the Warriors. I'm now thinking it's more a case of balancing what she's giving up at A&M against the value of being closer to her mother. I could be totally off base, but if true it makes it this odd transfer make more sense to me, especially if she ends up with Dawn. In addition to whatever A&M chances realistically would be if she stayed, she's losing a summer of working with teammates, and - perhaps more importantly for her long term goal in sports TV journalism - I'm not sure how this plays with WBB viewers or how much it follows her in her career. Not just the general issue of any transfer bailing on her team - it's in how much it really was [I]her[/I] team. If there are chemistry problems we don't know about, she was given a lot of responsibility and credit by the coaches as a leader in setting the chemistry and a big part of building the happy public facade. A&M fans are moving toward the last stages of the Kubler-Ross stages of grief. If she ends up at SC, I believe the Gamecocks will play the Ags in College Station next season. I hope we don't emulate how the SC fans welcomed Kelsey Bone when we played in Columbia. [/QUOTE]
