Message: [QUOTE="721Comstock, post: 1594659, member: 5429"] Yet, Ben Simmons did NOT go to Duke or UK. LSU isn't exactly a hoops blue-blood, except for the rare occasions they land a transcendent player. The top player does not *have* to go to the top school(s). She chose the women's version of UCLA back in the day, or UK or maybe Duke today. And that's good for her! But, she had her chance to play in front of her hometown fans, and chose not to. That decision has consequences. She could have been a transformative talent here. The women's Pearl Washington. Instead, she'll get lumped in with Rebecca Lobo and Taurasi and whichever other UConn greats there are, that I can't remember, and probably nobody else can either. [/QUOTE]
