When Mique showed up at Tennessee, she was the best women's player I had seen live. Wearing #23, she looked a little like Jordan, plus had a little Earl Monroe in her game. She had moves like a guy--in a good way. The only player I have seen since a better jump shot, more athleticism, and more overall coordination is Maya Moore.

Mique took basketball to a high level, but couldn't overcome her inner demons to go higher or even sustain it. It sounds as if she has gotten her life in order finally. I am not a Tennesseee fan at all, but she was one great player. Best wishes to her!

Who knew of the white whales that would wreak havoc on her calm seas?
