I’ve gotta say, it’s difficult to see the reasoning that would lesd her to commit here. She’s basically going to be battling Jana, Ice, Sarah, Morgan, Blanca, and possibly Caroline. Where are her minutes coming from? She sounds great for us but I’m just not seeing it.
here's a possible reasoning:
it's a new era, the portal era. u can move to another school if you don't find your 'dream school' isn't right for you after giving it a try, and there is no penalty except a delay in finding your right path.
... and what would be the reason for not going after your dream? well, you might be unsure that you can 'make it' at your fav school, you might not like the climate or teammates or coaches or culture there after you've experienced it. you might not be good enough to beat out huskies already competing at your position. all are legit reasons. basically, you're afraid.
but if you're a high school kid with notable abilities (obviously if uconn has even invited you then someone thinks you have the abilities) it would be downright foolish, self-defeating and sad not to take the chance. the worst that could happen is your fears were justified, and you lost one year chasing your dream without success. ONE YEAR.
and even then you've experienced a year of new adventure ... and have gained a year of the best basketball training possible.
and you would be proud for the rest of your life that you went for your dream, and fear didn't win.
ps: i'm talking the player's perspective -- not the BY fan's. a fan is just concerned with the team, not the individual.
