Why do you think it might impact us landing Boston? U think UConn is going to go harder at her?Stay tuned for more of this...and reference the transfer circus on display this past spring.
The definition for commitment should be amended to add temporary in there somewhere. A player of today might define it as: a temporary pledge that might be extended provided my satisfaction is being nursed based on my conditions. Me! Me! Me!
I wonder if this de-commit negatively impacts Tennessee's chance to land Aliyah Boston eventually?

I don't believe that every player who de-commits or transfers should be suspected of doing so because she didn't feel coddled enough, but it sure does seem strange that it's so common now.
I think it's more that there no longer exists the negative stigma that USED TO go along with de-committing and transferring. Players used to fear that they'd be perceived as disloyal, or unappreciative of the opportunity they'd been given, or of "quitting on" their team and coaches. Those relatively few players who did transfer back in the day often had to battle whispers of, "she's selfish," or "she's afraid she's going to have to work too hard," etc.
These days it almost seems like many of top players feel like they're not cool unless they change their minds and shake up the basketball world! It used to be only the extreme cases of homesickness or role players seeking more playing time who would make the difficult choice. But now that there is no stigma attached, the floodgates are open!
Is this any surprise? Karen's probably telling them they it's unlikely they will be part of the playing rotation, so they are reading between the lines and moving on. I doubt she's pulling offers.
