If my cousin or her husband was one of her profs she got a great education
I updated my post when replying to another poster. Didn’t use the correct word. It was more in line with Genos philosophy of not making any promise.
I don't doubt it. It totally varies by department at the big universities. Hers was East Asian Studies, and it was marked by the pandemic, too. She'd transferred from Haverford, where the classes were taught by the regular faculty. At Cal, most of the classes were taught by adjuncts and grad students. Most of the undergrads didn't even know who the regular faculty were. After she graduated, she was very clear about this: she loved the university because she fit in well with the huge Asian-American population, and campus life was amazing, but her coursework was decidedly inferior to what she'd had at Haverford.
The top kids all know each other from AAU and all-star gamesWe also know that Betts has played on USA basketball teams with Azzi & Amari. So I expect that by now, she’s probably received a text from one or both asking, “What’s up?”
Brink is not going anywhere
Not surprising that she is following Niele Ivey. For Betts, Notre Dame appears, on paper, to be the perfect fit for her. Lauren Ebo is gone and she can easily fit into her slot in the starting line up. You can play BETTS at the 5, WATSON at the 4, WESTBELD at the 3, CIRTON at the 2, and a healthy MILES at the 1. With BRANSFORD, PROSPER, HILDALGO, and RISCH coming off the bench, Notre Dame would be instant very strong title contenders for next season.
Some moms want their daughters to be coached by women. And some women coaches have voiced their opinions about the dominance of men coaches — they’d prefer female student athletes be coached by women. But at the same time, these women coaches, have applauded (rightfully so) women occupying executive positions in male dominated sports.
Ask Dorko about high profile she’s projected to go first round WNBA. The reason she came to Connecticut was the learn and get better so that she would go high in the WNBA. If that is looking a long-term Connecticut is still high profile and she’ll learn from the best.
Why would she be given 5years at N.D. and only 2 at UConn?
Noted and understood.
No argument whatsoever with your comment.
As I stated earlier, I know very little of Betts and bow to your knowledge and opinion of her.
As a seer, I'm drawing a blank on this one. 
Well....................at 6'7", there's not a whole of programs that won't be interested in her services. She'll pretty much have her pick of where she wants to go. I imagine it will be somewhere that she has a promise or "guarantee" of either starting or playing at least 20 minutes a game. While Geno does not make promises or guarantees (NIL), other coaches do, especially to highly coveted recruits.
Yeah, and that was a great move for both parties.
It wasn't in the cards, but I wish she would have come here as a freshman.
Change the names in this post to DORKA rather than EBO and finish with Aaliyah, Caroline, Azzi, and Paige and the
A four big rotation as you have outlined could work very well, and in fact have terrific insurance behind them, and I am not including Amari in that. Ice and Jana are not just competing with a potential Betts for playing time, but also with Aubrey and Ayanna. Ayanna since she had a somewhat disappointing first year, could be beaten out by Ice or Jana for backup minutes at the 4. Remember those two can get minutes at the 4 or the 5. An even bigger threat to their opportunity there, however, could be Aubrey. She played mostly on the wing this year due to injuries, but was a star backup 4 her first two years, and remember how she came to the rescue there when Aaliyah was in foul trouble.
I will give her more time, but clearly that is not a good sign at this stage of the process.
Agree with best chance for a ring here and just being one of many stars. Those criteria, the NIL possibilities and others are part of the mix, but one common factor among the schools that seem to be mentioned the most is a great point guard. I hear Iowa, Notre Dame and UCLA as favorite predictions for her destination and maybe us, but they all have great point guards, so getting the ball into the post should be easy at any of those schools.
Let’s all calm down and take a deep breath. We had a great team before Betts announced she was entering the portal. No question she will make us better but it will be weeks maybe even a couple of months before she announces. In the meantime let’s focus on what we have. There are still recruits out there who can certainly help us.
Didn't he take Evina Westbrook? Who's mom wasn't shy on Social Media regarding TN?
