Kara Lawson on SiriusXM Fullride this morning, ESPNU radio by Domerduck

As you would expect a quality interview with her. She is clearly media savvy and getting interviewed by Rick Neuheisal and Chris Childers on one of SiriusXM most popular college sports shows was a good move. She was driving from the NBA bubble to Durham so talked about that experience, 13 years in the WNBA, Celtics decision and Brad Stephens support, channeling Pat Summitt, and talking to Coach K. She talked about her recruiting when Neuheisal asked her if she was choosing between Tennessee and UConn. Knowing UConn wasn't that big then, she said her choice her final 5 were: Stanford (which her Dad wanted her to go), Duke (which her mom wanted her to go), Vanderbilt, UVa, and Tennessee, which she said she charted her own course with that choice.
She stated Duke is the most iconic College BBall brand, Cameron is a Temple, and seemed ready to go.

She could wake up a sleeping giant if she gets the right "Shielas and Joes" (Neuheisal's term) for that school. We may see some Duke/ND rivalries on the women's side to match the men's. Hope we stay on top of those with a fellow NBA assistant coach alumnus, Niele at the helm.

PS: I can't link the interview yet since the show is still live as I post If you have a SiriusXM subscription you can use the app and restart Fullride on channel 84. It's starts 36 minutes into the show. Sirius usually downloads the show without commercials this afternoon. Worth a listen.
