Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2419740, member: 5798"] Sometimes one's fortune can turn with the roll of the dice, [B]or the stroke of a pen. [/B] Nelson-Ododa, who also was considering Duke, South Carolina, Florida State and Georgia, said she spent the last few weeks analyzing her visits and the programs she was considering with input from her parents.[B] She called coach Geno Auriemma Monday night to tell him that she had arrived at a decision. [/B]She had him on speaker phone with her mom, Heather, and dad, Alonzo, a former player at Huntington University and the Kenyan national team, listening in. "He was really excited about it," Nelson-Ododa said of Auriemma. "That was the fun part about it. He just didn't see it coming." In addition to getting to know Williams better, Nelson-Ododa said she returned home from her trip to Storrs impressed with the UConn program, the family atmosphere and winning culture. [B]She's also a big fan of the players already on the roster.[/B] "I just really felt comfortable with everybody," she said. "It was great getting to know the coaches and the team." Funny she should say that. Someone else recently expressed those same exact sentiments...........Azura. Class of 2019, take note. [/QUOTE]
