WOW, I would love to have her at OU!

 

[atlantasooner]

Well she's not a forward or center.
But she is 6-1.

apparently though it won't matter. Sherri's adding no one.
The roster is what it is.

While I have no doubt you are correct, any coach would be crazy not to make every effort to add a potential 3 year All-American.

 

[atlantasooner]

Yeah, add elite talent when you can
but she'd be taking minutes from someone

 

[MsProudSooner]

Wonder why she is leaving NC. Is Hatchell not coming back?

 

[Mac]

If the other kids leave as well maybe Jessica Washington will be looking to come home, we don't need a player at her position, I could see her going to OSU....

 

[mikeareese]

I would make room for J Washington. DeShields probably no chance.

I wouldn't care if she was 4'6". She can play anywhere on my team.

 

[mystery32]

I have a feeling she would end up at one of these schools.
UCONN?, Tennessee? South Carolina? Or back home to Georgia Tech.
My gut is feeling Georgia Tech

I think those are good guesses, especially Tennessee since they recruited her so hard. I would not be surprised to see her at Florida State or Miami. I'm pretty sure we'd take her, and we have been to Norcross. But, I have heard nothing that says she knows where Oklahoma is.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

I hope all of you saying that you think we'd take her aren't forgetting the [sarcasm][/sarcasm] tags.

Hatchell's leukemia is in remission and she said she will be back 100% this fall. No reason has been given for DeShields departure.

 

[Mac]

Haha, Texas is making a play for Diamond. I don't see her going there but wouldn't that be something!

You have to admire Karen Aston for going after elite players like her hair is on fire.

 

[SoonerinNC]

She may be leaving because Hatchell is returning. She is really not a good coach in spite of her national championship.

Well, that seemed to be apparent way before Deshields arrived in Chapel Hill! Have you heard any other reasons why she may be leaving? This really doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Do you think this affects any of the other "fab" freshmen?

A rumor is, she's heading to Tenn. but we'll see. If she and T'ea Cooper both go to Tenn, that will definitely help the Vols.
