Gaucho fans are delighted! Here are some quotes from the local paper this a.m.:
"After she visited UCSB with her parents last weekend, Niemann said she did not see the need to explore other schools."
"Gauchos head coach Mark French made a strong impression on her. 'He's very different from any college coach I've ever met or the coaches of anyone I've known,' she said. 'He has a unique perspective on basketball, school and life in general. He's not consumed with winning basketball at the expense of what's good for his players. At the same time, he's very motivated to win games and works very hard to win."
" 'UCSB provides a place for me to deepen my faith, be challenged to pursue excellence in many areas of my life and be part of a philosophy I strongly believe in,' " Niemann said in an e-mail. 'The Gauchos women's basketball program provides a complete match for my priorities and I consider it a wonderful opportunity to join their family.' "

Seems like a logical conclusion.

That quote pretty much sums it up I guess.
But seriously, Waco, TX or Santa Barbara, CA....? There is no comparison. She has already won a national championship so why not leave something that is not right, for something that is.
I am happy for her. (aka I don't like KMR and anything to do with Texas)
