Message: [QUOTE="WBBTakeover, post: 5263238, member: 13257"] Has anyone noticed the shift in discourse surrounding Ta'Niya since she committed/signed? It went from, "it's too bad that Latson isn't getting the attention and recognition she deserves despite her amazing stats! I hope she lands with a team that will give her more exposure" to "well, she's not going to be happy averaging 12 ppg for South Carolina! I think she'll slide down the draft boards for making this choice"--as if we're supposed to believe that playing for a much better coach and with better teammates is somehow supposed to be [I]detrimental [/I]to her development. If Ta'Niya wasn't getting the recognition despite having eye-popping scoring stats and that was enough for her to leave her previous team (to go to a better basketball program), then wouldn't it mean that she's not married to those stats? It's not like this program hasn't ever had 20ppg scorers and hasn't had first-team All-Americans before. :rolleyes: While she may not lead the country in scoring next season (big whoop), she will still be in the mix for conference (in this case, SEC) POY, first-team AA, SEC/NCAA championships, and WNBA lottery pick 2026, etc.--all the things that were in question had she remained at FSU. Like, do people actually think that Ta'Niya walks around and says, "Hi! I'm Ta'Niya Latson. I led the nation in scoring in 2024-25 at 25ppg!" :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
