Message: [QUOTE="newfrontier, post: 3156875, member: 8141"] Would Cooks have had a better chance of making the final 4 with Michigan State in the next 2 years compared to Mississippi State? Not very likely unless she stayed and their current #7 recruiting class turns out to match or exceed expectations as sophomores and leads the team to a significantly higher level of performance. As for my comment above about her "making a big mistake", I was/am speaking mostly out of frustration as a Michigan State Fan and alum. Frustration, as in "just when things are starting to look up, with great guards returning, and a highly ranked recruiting class coming in, one of 'our' best players (and easily the best returning big player) decides to leave and play elsewhere." (yes, deep down i realize it could be the right thing for her to transfer, depending on her personal situation and reasoning). Merchant has definitely been a disappointment, especially since McCallie took MSU to the finals in 2006 and Merchant has not come anywhere close. [/QUOTE]
