Per this article, Sarah knew she was going to UConn since 10th grade, when Geno, Morgan Valley, and Jemele Elliot came to a tiny gym and told her what she needs to get better at. She says that other schools would tell her how good she is, but they kept it honest with her.
From Spain to Storrs: Top recruit Sarah Stronfr's personal path to UConn
From all appearances, Sarah indeed was for a long time destined for Uconn.
Now I would like to be told the story behind the drama. Some will surely respond that this is none of our biz. OK. But it
is a good story that deserves to be revealed. I hope we get it.
Why the long hold-out? Why the delay in making the reveal?
Could be it involves NIL, marketing factors etc. That makes sense, and there's nothing wrong with it. But why hide that if it was the motive?
There are multiple other explanations that may be more personal and perhaps more revealing. So, none of our business?
Bull. She's just a high school kid but also a public figure, and some loss of privacy comes with that (sadly) along with some benefits (such as fame and NIL).
If we don't have some explanation from her, we're left guessing. What difficulties were involved in her decision? Location? Lack of belief in her capabilities; fear that she couldn't make it at UConn? Concern that she would be overshadowed or fail there? What was the input from her parents and others? The recuiting tactics -- plus and minus -- of the various programs. Etc.
We're bound to wonder. I am, anyway, and I doubt I'm alone. That's not ideal -- getting this human interest story should be great for everyone.
