How and Why I became a UConn WBB devotee

[RadyLady]

Diamond DeShields is a good example of bad fit. She is a gifted athlete & terrific baller - I followed her since soph HS and so much hoped she'd come to UConn. I'm not sure whether or not Geno recruited her, but when she chose UNC, she said it was because "they'll let me play my game....." Uh Oh. That's a quote you will never hear from a UConn recruit. Never.
And now, after being honored as Freshman of the Year at UNC, she has transferred to the Lady Vols. Hmmm.

True. There was a lot of interest and diamond early on and that interest faded away as the recruiting process moved along. it simply never was meant to be.
all things being equal sometimes a good one slips away, hence the thread about which player we would have loved to have had on the roster. And since we are outsiders it's difficult for any of us to know for sure why the good ones slip away but they do and they go on to play for other teams. Such is the way of things.
