Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 4834057, member: 11559"] Just home from the game, which was inspiring if one is a UConn fan...:cool: Regarding Leah Macy, while about to exit the XL Center a half-hour after the game, I happened to say hi to a man and his two daughters, both of whom were wearing 'Bethlehem Basketball' sweatshirts. Being the curious journalistic type that I am, I asked which state they are from, thinking probably Pennsylvania. When the Dad said Kentucky, right away it occurred to me the taller girl might be a UConn recruiting hopeful. Sure enough, the younger girl (turned out to be Loren) proudly piped up, 'Leah's a recruit.' I couldn't resist, so I asked if that were so and Leah nodded yes. I followed up by asking if UConn is one of her top possibilities... she smiled and said yes. Then I asked, what are your other preferred choices: 'Duke and Notre Dame,' she responded, in that order. We talked for a few more minutes but that was the crux of it, for what it's worth. By the way, she's not 6'3", although she could grow to that height. I might give her 6'2". Since getting home I read a local story from Kentucky and found out Leah and Loren are very close as sisters and Leah made the choice to transfer to Bethlehem so they could play together. [/QUOTE]
