it's promising that abby meyers is looking to grad transfer. she would not get much playing time at uconn with bueckers and azzi ahead of her. then again, jordan hamilton didn't get much playing time at stanford.

the uconn board discussion mentions (speculates?) that she had academic trouble. if so, that would likely eliminate stanford.  she did take a year off from school, but i can't find the reason. 

one can hope.

There's a long story about that somewhere - IIRC she had an alleged honor code violation in her freshman year, and her experience going through that process was that she had no representation, limited due process, little clarification of her rights, and felt shamed into it and that resulted in a year's suspension. Once she returned, her experience led her to become a student advocate who works with students who receive such allegations, and she has spoken out publicly about the need to reform these procedures in light of her experience.

Based on the interview I read (wherever it was), she sounded like a very thoughtful individual, and having traveled in a lot of academic circles myself this past decade, I can certainly relate to the feeling that administrations can set up kangaroo courts for students when they want to. Not sure how that whole experience reflects on her GPA, but Princeton's no walk in the cake even for student athletes, because there's far less grade inflation there than at its peer schools (as I'm sure proud Princeton Papa x2 Mick can attest.).

sounds like katie meyer could have used her help.
