I don't see it as a shocker.  Deja wants to play in the WNBA, and her performance this season at UNC put her behind the curve.  She is an inefficient shooter and does not run a team well.  WNBA teams don't want that at her size (only about 5'8).  Like Hailey Van Lith, she needs to work on becoming more efficient as a shooter.

She'd do well in the B1G, but she should only consider teams that will help her develop into a more efficient scorer.  USC and UCLA won't help her (re UCLA, look at Osborne's and Jones' shooting percentages), as the guards at those schools either did not shoot well or she isn't going to supplant them (see Kiki Rice).  She should consider Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, or Penn State if she's looking for a program that will help her raise her shooting percentages.  Those are not the glamorous B1G teams, but they are the teams that shoot the ball the best.  If her goal is to have a WNBA career, she'll need to be able to shoot it with high efficiency in college.

If she's feeling adventurous, she could explore Gonzaga.
