Perhaps but not by much. Further along it appeared we were looking at three options that had to be considered collectively. What I mean by that is playing time wasn't a given for any of Rice, Bradford or Todd. Todd probably knows two things, first if Rice signs Uconn is probably no longer interested in Todd (same would have been true for Bradford), and second that she is the third option that only becomes a viable option if Rice goes elsewhere.
Kiki and KK had the same issue. I think Uconn wanted one of them but not both. KK may have lost interest in us or visa versa as we went hard after Rice. Players and coaches face these difficult situations all the time. If you are a recruit in say the 15-30 range nationally do you want to accept a Uconn offer if they are still pursuing a top 5 talent at your position? Maybe not.
On the other hand if you have a potential chance to be part of the Uconn program as a likely backup, are you willing to wait out other top recruits decisions and see if they are still interested in you when others turn them down. Some are willing to wait and take their chances, maybe Todd is one of those, and perhaps Bradford said screw this, I'm not going to wait around for Rice to decide, I'm moving on.
It is what it is, difficult for players and coaches, but many players decisions are highly dependent on what other prospects decide.
