 It's very telling that one of the worst players for our system (DiJonai Carrington) has blossomed into one of the best pro players. I think it made sense overall because in most years Tara was not going to get to recruit the best athletes, but it is why I think our alumni pro record underwhelms compared to their shelves and shelves of collegiate accolades.

i was a great fan of dijonai. she was injured in high school and again for her early years at stanford. when she was getting healthy, tara chose to play haley ahead of her rather than finding room for both on the court. dijonai then transferred and had an outstanding senior year for baylor (on that last-second miss in the loss to uconn in the semi's, she was fouled!). of course, with tara's line-up we did win a national championship!

hmmm...fwiw, haley and dijonai have somewhat similar size and skills, though haley is more smooth and dijonai more aggressive.  maybe haley can blossom, too!
