Brink more than deserves every accolade, and she deserves our gratitude for giving us four years of beautiful and exciting basketball. From what I can tell from a fan's vantage-point, Brink is a superb person in more ways than just basketball, and I am sure she will have great success on and off the court.
While I am happy for Brink, I am sad for me as a fan. I have zero interest in the WNBA, and so when our players graduate it creates a very abrupt break for me. A bittersweet feeling.
Brink's departure will mark the complete turnover of the team since the national championship. Her classmates Emma-Nnopu and Van Gytenbeek, like Brink, could have been back for a fifth year--but they transferred, and Jump is out of eligibility. Another transition.
