Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2127431, member: 6819"] A few things. I said so then that neither of these two would receive the level of coaching necessary to fulfill their potential. I said then that neither of those colleges would be able to surround them with the players and off court training they would need. I also said at the time that when each of these players failed to make the NCAA's their may be additional attitude issues. I noted this before the coaching issues at Illinois. I continued to note how each of these young women never appeared to be in good basketball shape. I frankly thought Shepard was going to leave after her first year. What surprised me was how much White wanted to remain at Illinois and finally seemed to grudgingly accept the fact that that program had tanked. I've always given a bit of a side eye to those that give some colleges a home town discount. Not that there is anything untoward going on, and yeah, this often the hardest decision these young ladies have ever had to make. I would just like some of them to be a little more patient and invest a little more time in their decision, and not just go to mom and dad's school. [/QUOTE]
