After watching this very impressive video, several thoughts come to mind.
1. Megan has got some serious basketball skills.
2. She has developed a
serious work ethic, and has been well coached. She has
consistently over the past 7-8 years, put in the kind of time and effort that any coach will appreciate and respect.
3. She's a baller!! (and has a higher than average BB IQ)
4. I'm assuming that she doesn't like to lose (few do). So that may play also be a factor in her decision of where to go. If winning is important to her, she's not going to a program that isn't already winning. She's going to a top ranked program.
Players of her caliber that can go practically anywhere they want to, don't generally choose mid-majors, or division two schools. Their AAU coaches and family has already set their hearts and sites on one or several of the top tier programs in the country.
You know as well as I do, ANY of the top five D-1 schools would love to have her. They'd all send a limo to pick her up at her house, or the airport (and I wouldn't be surprised in some cases if the head coach was driving).
I don't know her, so I can't say what's important to her. But if she wants to cash in all of the long hours and hard work she's put in over the past few years, she will choose a program that will provide her with a "high quality" education, as well as give her
the best chance to win a championship or two, IF that's important to her.
Winning a NC is not the goal of every athlete. For some, walking across that stage or platform in four years and receive their diploma is their main goal and reason for choosing a program. All of them don't think like we do: NC or bust.
And yes, I'm thinking just like everyone else that views this video. I hope she comes to UConn. I would love to read on this thread that she has committed to Huskie Nation. To say that she would be an asset to "our" program would be an gross understatement.
Deuces, I'm out.
