Didn't think Brown would leave, but she might have good reasons, such as more money elsewhere, playing in the shadow of Audi, or maybe not liking how her injury was handled. I'm sure there is no shortage of teams that would love to have her join them. I could see her "tranferring up" to a "blue blood" team.

I love CBF but asking girls to come play here has to be hard when turning on the tape. It doesn’t scream fun and exciting basketball despite being successful at times. It’s like asking a 4 and 5 star skill players to play offense for Iowa FB.

Too bad great player; she might look for a school closer to her home town in Kansas, maybe even KU, they have deep NIL money for basketball. Hope they don’t offer a package deal for Audi and Jada to join her. Jada is from KC area and Audi is a wild card. Looks like next season will be a total reset, maybe even with the coaching staff?

I don't know what her personality is like. She seems very competitive. However, it seemed like she could benefit from some stronger coaching. Her body language and effort seem to match however she was shooting.

It appeared (emphasis on "appeared") at times she would mope/pout when her shots weren't falling and wasn't giving full effort. I remember many times where she would miss a shot and lightly jog back to the defensive end.

Her skills are really good. I hope she can find a place that can bring out her best and help her achieve her goals.
