Torn feelings on this.

I know Breanna's dad and have been friends with him since she was in 8th or 9th grade.  Good guy.  Breanna is a great kid.  Q recruited her hard but Connecticut is the only place in the country where women's basketball is the passion of the state and I can understand why she would want to go there, be a rock star and win 4 NCs without breaking a sweat.

Q was good to the Stewart family after she verballed to the Huskies, and let her have access to the Melo Center and other SU facilities, and scrimmage with SU players in the summer.  Don't know what happened to precipitate this but I think it is more about tension/dislike between Geno and Q than SU and Breanna.

Let's just say Geno isn't the most diplomatic person in the world.  There have been incidents with SU players in the past, some mentioned already in this thread, some not.  I suspect those things, coupled with some ugly drubbings in actual games, soured the relationship between the coaches.

Glad she had a chance to play in front of her friends and family.  She deserves it.  She is the most remarkable female basketball player ever.  I will also be a little wistful though.  It would have been really interesting to see what kind of impact she would have had on a program that wasn't already 2 times better than any other program in the country.
