Women's college basketball - North Carolina Tar Heels freshman Diamond DeShields decides to transfer
This is a article in ESPN right about the time she announced she was leaving UNC in April 2014. It's a good article but there are three things that are slightly concerning:
1) The picture of her taunting the crowd. I can't see HCHW allowing this type of behavior, even if the opposing crowd is hostile. Winning is the best comeback.
2) "
And Coach Hatchell's going to allow us to do those things without trying to change us or make us into a different type of player." I think Voepel does a good job in the article showing why this might not have been the most mature thing to say.
3) On leaving early for the pros: "
If that was an option for women, I could see myself doing that," Could this mean we only have her for two years and not three?
I realize that this interview occurred when she was a frosh, so the maturity level will most certainly have increased, and perhaps she would say some things differently today.
Nonetheless, this season is going to be VERY exciting with DD on the team.
