Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4088784, member: 11538"] Kiki seems like a kid who has been pampered to a degree. By that I mean just well cared for, loved a great deal, provided for with a great school...etc. A kid like that has tremendous self induced pressure to make mom and dad pleased with their choice, and their environment in agreement with it. Uconn may well be the best choice for her but if I had to bet I'd take Stanford as her choice. Basketball may well be her real future but is that her choice now? Very few kids are really academically qualified for Stanford and she probably is. Very few kids fit her profile in general. Her friends in school are being groomed for schools like Stanford if everything goes as planned by their parents. She doesn't disappoint anyone in her family with Stanford. I'm just happy for her from afar. I selfishly hope she picks Uconn but there should be no disparagement if she doesn't. She's a kid deciding her future. No matter what we should all be sincerely happy for her. If she actually wants Uconn does she have the self esteem and confidence to make the decision on her own and actually pull the trigger on anything other than Stanford or Duke? We will soon see. If she does want Stanford herself, then now is the time. [/QUOTE]
