Reading that article is heartbreaking. As a season ticket holder, I remember the many thrills Jewell gave me and other Irish fans. I remember how dominating she was at times, like in the 2015 ACC Tournament. Then I remember how ordinary she was in the Final Four. My guess is that it was after the ACC Tournament when going to the WNBA kicked into high gear, at least by her game statistics. My contention has been that if she would have played like “the Michael Jordan of WBB” the Irish could have been champions that year. UConn was beatable. Oh well, she received an elite, expensive education and I hope she graduates somewhere. And, I hope she develops some grace and gratitude.
