If this is true, I don't find it surprising. When you come in at the #1 recruit in the country and find yourself in a limited role, I think it's likely you're going to be disappointed. But the fact is, at least from my inexpert observation, she had a lot of flaws and I kept finding myself wondering just why she'd been so highly regarded. Yes, Tara would pull her after a mistake, but she made a lot of them. She never really got away from that dribble before shooting. And for a player who was described as having "great hands," she let a lot of balls get away from her. All season long, I was wondering when is the player who was #1 going to show up. She did have some really good moments, but was inconsistent. Maybe if she goes elsewhere and gets a lot more playing time, she'll turn out to be really good. But wherever she goes, or stays at Stanford, I think she's still at "work in progress" stage.
