Congratulations to you and your family! My son attends UNC Greensboro. I am paying almost $220,000 for his education.
You have earned that through hard work and dedication. Impressive!

[Moramarco]

My best to April! SoCon will be a good fit for her. She will also have an opportunity to play. Got to keep working hard.... even after the ink is dry. The JOURNEY is JUST beginning and I always ask... what's more important THE JOURNEY or THE DESTINATION?

[collegescout1]

Perfect fit for Carson. UNCG runs a shooters dream offense.

[smitty]

Congratulations on your committment!

Get well soon, your team needs you on the floor badly. They are missing your ability to spread the defense and execute plays.
Plus you are one scrappy player.

Is Carson going to stay with UNC Greensboro?

I watched her play this summer and she is definitely a BCS prospect!

[Billy Carson]

April had a very good summer and got offers from 6 D1 schools and 2 visit requests from ACC schools, 2 visit requests from SEC schools and 1 PAC 10 offer and visit request.

However, after deep consideration she wants to play at the mid major level at UNC-G. Mid Major D1's in the Southern Conference are extremley competitive and she will have a chance to compete for playing time right away.

A lot of the players that she knows from previous years are at some BCS schools and they are not getting any minutes.
She is used to playing and wants to play. The mid major schools produce a lot of professional players every year.
The women that play get the exposure to the european scouts.
