While we don’t know how much weight Strong puts on the various factors that will ultimately result in her decision where she goes to college, there are a couple of more recent factors that I hope she considers. The first is to look at the steady development of Ice, a player with similar size and skills. Strong is a competitor who wants to get better. UConn has a long established history of getting the very best out of their players.
The second factor is embodied in the wonderful celebration by the UConn players on the court following their tremendous victory over USC on Monday. The Huskies showed their exuberance as well as their love for each other. Anyone who’s ever won a championship, at any level, understands the pure joy it brings along with the memories that last for a lifetime. I have to believe that’s something Strong wants to be a part of.
