Kelly was the ultimate college player, and maybe my all-time favorite Husky. What made her so great was rooted in the fact that she consistently performed way above her talent level, and did so with grit and fierce determination. She was never, nor is she now, cut out to be a pro...it was never in the cards for her at that level. It's obviously none of my business, but if I were in a position, from the perspective of my relatively advanced age, to advise her, my counsel would be to explain that in the big picture, she is still young. I'd advise that she return to school on a graduate level to pursue a totally different career...one of her choosing, of course, but my main focus would be on reassuring her that the same characteristics of personality that yielded so much success up to this point would not abandon her now. Kelly Faris is never going to be a great professional basketball player, but she has all the elements required to make her an [U]unparalleled[/U] professional in a variety of other endeavors. Wish I could take her to lunch!
