[LWC]

You are correct; I am confident she will get a great education at Louisville, and that is definitely the most important thing. I assume UConn is at least as good a school as L'Ville academics wise. However, they aren't even on the same planet baskeball wise.

I am not talking purely academic rating. I am just saying that if she would be HAPPY at UL, then she is more likely to stay there.

I look at it like a job. If I am a single guy (which I am not, I am married), I would rather work at a job that I loved making $8 an hour as opposed to a job that I hated making $12 an hour. I realize that basketball is basketball, just like in Hoosiers whenever the coach measured the rims, etc...

To make a long story short, if she is going to be happy at UL, she is more likely to finish her education. If she was not happy at UCONN (never seeing friends or family, etc...) then she would be less likely to graduate, one would assume.

I am as guilty as the next person in the sports world to say, why would you turn down going to a championship caliber team, to play somewhere else. We never really know the motives. I, personally, have seen two separate news stories from two different states, that both said she turned down UCONN, not the other way around. So the motive is not that UCONN was going to pull the plug because Geno really wanted her. Grant it, UL wanted and needed her more than UCONN, but Geno still wanted her.

I hope as a Rockcastle fan that knowing she turned down championships to be happy, I hope it makes her hun-g-rier for a Kentucky State Championship

I hope we can both be happy for Sara, and that we understand that she wants to be at UL. If something comes out saying differently, fine. If a news story breaks that says UCONN pulled the plug, fine. UNTIL then or IF then, we have to assume she chose UL so she could be close to home. We seen it with many mens basketball recruits. One highly ranked player chose NC State over UK and others. It happens all the time. People dont always want to go the best program, they want to go to the best program for them.

In Rockcastle, we remember Brad Durham, current UK Offensive Lineman. He had always been a UL fan. He wanted to play for UL. UL offered him a scholarship and he was so excited, eventually they pulled the scholarship and by the grace of God, UK offered. He is set to graduate this season and I would assume with pretty close to a 4.0 (He is a really smart guy). If it turns out that UCONN pulled the scholarship offer, we will understand. UL at the time, was a big time program competing for BCS bowl appearances, just like UCONN is dominating womens basketball. Brad seems to be happy, and I am sure that if that is what happened to Sara, I am sure that she will be happy as well.

All of us from Rock, wish her the best and remember that the textbook is more important than the playbook!
