Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3162761, member: 26"] In fairness, though, I guess that means there were 17 other pages of posts talking about Westbrook to UCONN? I think overall the fans are beyond thrilled. Yesterday Geno addressed the comments she made after the vols lost in the 2nd round of the NCAA's and said something like "heat of the moment, probably not the best thing to say, but we talked about it and it had no impact (on my decision to recruit her)". Having said that, one of the big story lines in landing her is she transferred from Tennessee. And there is no love lost on Evina's account in leaving. Many (not just a few) fans online absolutely raked her over the coals with criticisms while she was still at Tennessee. So much so that even her mom got into it with a fan on social media defending her daughter. And obviously it's gotten worse since she left. Even now, many of the fans are posting bitter things about her. Evina most likely was aware of some/much of the vitriol posted by Tennessee fans hence the "sorry, not sorry" salvo on her way out the door. Can't say I blame her one bit. Pretty disgraceful for a fan base in general, and for anyone calling on Tennessee players to inflict bodily harm on her "not enough to end her career, but rough play and put her on her ass". Good grief that's insane. And worthy of discussion on our board since it directly is related to Evina's decision to come to UCONN... [/QUOTE]
