She was committed when McGuff was there, but she only kept her commitment to UW when they hired Neighbors. "If you stay, I stay," was the message. And I disagree about leaving UW with "no" talent. Aari McDonald was a Huskie till Neighbors left. Her transfer isn't Mike's fault; she was his recruit. There were injury problems, for sure, but the 2017 roster had Kierra Collier (who also bailed for Drake, where's she's doing well), and Melgoza on it. Who was psychic enough to know that good players like Strother and Romeo would never be able to play again? Injuries were a problem, for sure - I don't even know what to say about Garcia's career -- but it's not that there was "no talent" in the program. [/QUOTE]
