Something tells me Fort Worth won't be Somfai's last collegiate stop?

She attempted 124 threes this past season, and made 36. To my eye, many of those threes were pure free lance, not the play drawn up. 

By comparison, Nneka shot only 28 threes in her entire LSJU career, Chiney 19, Appel just 3. Brink shot 177 threes, made less than 30%, and has endorsements, tv commercials and magazine covers.

TCU (ie Mercenary U) is definitely not the stop I would have expected for an academically minded player who still needs years of basketball development to reach her potential.  Duke, Vandy, UCLA, UConn would have been more appropriate choices in my opinion.  But then again, I know nothing.

I love Lara's game and was hoping she'd land at Duke or UCLA.  Coach Kara and Coach Cori are outstanding mentors and understand how to utilize talent and support them as young women.  Having said that, excited that Lara will be playing for Coach Campbell.  There are many TCU haters across the country who call "The Horned Frogs" 'Transfer City', but in this age of the portal and NIL, Coach Campbell understood very early there would be no going back to the old days and he has taken advantage of what the game has become and has used the portal effectively (in his 3 years at TCU), to develop some high-performing teams.

Coach Campbell also understands how to use and develop talent.  Lara will be in good hands.

Hey, I nailed it in another thread on Monday(?), though I did mix up TCU and Texas Tech. Anyway, I noted that TT had pried Olivia Miles out of ND, and paid a chunk to convince Suarez to leave Cal. Coach Campbell has built an excellent program in just a few years through use of the portal. They offer big bucks and the players like him alot. TCU knows to come looking at Stanford for fist rate talent and people...Canady, and also BB player Montgomery, I think.
