What happened with her, she obviously had the skills as shown by her WNBA performance. I believe she signed and then just left but since she was on campus such a brief time, what turned her off?
Homesick she had a super tight family and a special-needs older sister which she was a integral part of care for. There have been short specials on her family dynamic and her sister always played a big role in that. I believe everyone at UConn was very surprised with her leaving so I don’t think it was anything on UConn’s end
She played a pick up game in the 2 (?) days she was in Storrs.
but it was only a 3 on 3 so it’s not official

Even there she was more than a bit of a mope. When she showed up she was a force for them.

I had a son and daughter at UDel at the same time EDD went there. Saw many of her games. As mentioned, there have been numerous TV shows about EDD and her sister, some with Geno being interviewed. Appears they still have a positive relationship.

The regional was in Kingston, RI. Memorable for me because it was the first regional I ever attended.

Yesterday a fake Twitter account (since deleted) reported that Nika had entered the portal. It was quickly debunked and I believe the thread was (correctly) deleted.
So nothing is up.
They also had a fake Twitter account for Catlyn Clark in the portal...

I am just waiting for the "What is going on at UConn?" folks.
Lolol. You right. Both mens and womens college basketball programs across the country literally have 1000s of players in the portal looking to improve their situation. It ain’t just Uconn. It can be hard to get playing time at Uconn some years. Ask Ducharme.

The saying goes: You can't teach height. The inference is: Everything else is teachable.

She didn’t transfer. She declined the scholarship and didn’t enroll after realizing she could not live away from home due to the family situation with her older sister with cerebral palsy. Very unique circumstances.

Point not made :confused:
If we're talking about EDD, I absolutely believed that she'd accepted UCONN's scholarship offer, moved in on campus, and spent a couple days. She then realized she was homesick (missing her sister Lizzie), and didn't want to play basketball anymore, so she transferred to Delaware to play volleyball. Being at Delaware while playing volleyball gave her a sense of peace because she was closer to home, and could see her sister much more often, than if she was in Storrs, CT.

That is a semantical distinction in search of a who cares. She signed a letter of intent to attend UCONN and then left.

I don't believe this to be the case. Piath does not have the skill set to get significant minutes at DePaul, Villanova, Marquette, nor Creighton because just about all of these schools are spread offenses utilizing 4 and 5 out. Which would mean Piath is out on the perimeter setting screens and shooting the deep ball. Neither of those are in Paith's bag. Keep in mind that Piath had a significantly more talented older sister Karima who did play at DePaul and only averaged 4.2 MPG.
How about BC? They're not in the BE, so no knocking heads with UConn, and it's even closer to Manchester, NH than Storrs. They lost to Columbia in the NIT and finished 21-12, so not exactly elite. And their 2 bigs totaled 11 three-point shots for the season, so they're probably not playing 4 and 5 out.

Has Piath received any offers/interest yet?
Generally speaking, on the WBB side, nothing much is heard until the new school is announced, unlike the MBB side, where there are lists for each player that show "schools showing interest/have contacted".

did anyone else find it odd and coincidental that Saylor 3 days after Uconn played Arkansas was a razorback? Idk if it's legal, but I always wonder if opposing coaches see a player that maybe doesn't get enough playing time and they are promised if they come to such school they will be given way more playing time.

Why are posters on this forum so enthralled with EDD? How many years have passed since she decided not to attend UConn? And WTH does she have to to with Piath transferring? Six pages of, and almost 150, posts and how many of these don't have anything to do with Piath?
It is going to be a long off season...carry on.

@CocoHusky this is not directed for you, your phrase just made me chuckle. :)

I think the fact that Saylor was close to Daniels and Wolfenbarger, along with the timing, may be been a factor.

Must we? I didn't notice that because it didn't happen.
UCONN played Arkansas on 11/14/21 to open the season. Saylor committed to Arkansas on 11/26/21. Keep in mind that Saylor was injured and unable to play.
