Message: [QUOTE="Lynx23, post: 4599399, member: 309"] Lou is a very smart young lady. She took the initiative to train in Ireland, and then she committed to finding a Division I school in the United States where she could get experience and hone her basketball skills. She became the go-to offensive threat at Fairfield. Then she decided to take her extra year of eligibility and transfer to a more challenging Division I program and, as luck would have it, Morgan Valley became aware of her and it took little enticement to get her to commit to UCONN where she would be a nice piece to the puzzle. Then all hell broke loose. Paige got injured, and then Azzi (and everyone else it seems) and, lo and behold, she becomes along with Edwards, the primary offensive threat for UCONN. Embracing the opportunity, she never misses a game, apparently in spite of a nagging leg or foot injury, Her offensive skills are on display and her defensive skills improve. Somehow she becomes an Honorable Mention All-American and makes First Team in the Big East Tournament. By now, most of WCBB knows who she is, and she may very well be a 1st round WNBA pick. Regardless, she will be drafted. She might not have had this opportunity had she not come to UCONN and, unfortunately, had not Paige and Azzi been injured. Hers is a remarkable story. It could only happen with a little luck, but a lot of initiative and motivation on her part. She didn't get the fairy tale ending she wanted, but I believe her full story has yet to be told. I'll miss her (and Dorka) as will many other BY'ers, but I'll definitely follow her progress in the WNBA. [/QUOTE]
