Is that why Mercedes was so awful her first season, she needed the friend pact around her? Boy was she stiff on the court!

Right, that was my point exactly...And, DD already was friends with Cooper when she committed to UNC...So, if you(DD) put in the effort to pull in top talent to go to UNC, why transfer now??? Your team made it to the Elite 8, and you have more talent coming in 2014, and Hatchell will be back..Go figure.

I've thought of that, too, but....then I've seen enough quotes by DD to contradict that theory.

Remember, Cooper decommitted from UNC in August. It's possible that DeShields was already second-guessing coming to UNC and had some input in Cooper's decision.
I find that more likely anyway than DeShields simply wanting to follow her friend to Tennessee or wherever.

This is why I posted in the "DeShields is transferring" thread the quotes from Cooper about wanting to be "happy", about how she knows players at various schools, and that they tell her what's going on and who is not "happy" in their situation.
I think if you put 2 and 2 together, a plausible scenario is:
- Cooper committed to UNC long ago.
- DeShields put together her "group" at UNC and Cooper was going to join them next year so she and DeShields could play together.
- DeShields decided early on that she wasn't "happy" and told Cooper, maybe even telling her she was thinking of transferring.
- Cooper decided that if Diamond wasn't happy at UNC, then she didn't want to go there, and decommitted.
- DeShields and Cooper decided to find somewhere new where they can play together and decided on a location so Cooper could film her MTV reality show.
Anyhow, I'm betting that Cooper was talking about DeShields in her "happiness" comments, and that they've known for a while where they're going.

Didn't say it wasn't valid just cryptic and open for interpretation. Just me but it is annoying. SAY you got a commit if that is the news...or if you can't say then wait until you can or have the tech press tweet the news.
Just a general observation on tweeting behavior -- the chances of tech being in the mix for Diamond are beyond slim...for reasons beyond the 2 year sit down the conference would dictate.

So how long is Diamond going to keep us in suspense? I imagine she has to know where she is transferring to. She needs to spill it!

Maybw she's agreed not to tell until after her friend's MTV reality show announcement airs in June. Would sort of spoil the suspense, wouldn't it?

Oh goodness, Cooper sounds like another Diamond, in terms of attitude! I don't know if I can get behind whatever school they pick to anoint with their talents, we'll see.

Actually a very nice and rather classy tweet, no matter what your personal opinion may be of the kid.

Of course she's also essentially calling Hatchell out on her statement. Hatchell said in her statement "“I do not know or understand why Diamond DeShields has decided to leave the University of North Carolina”. Now DeSheilds says they had multiple "very detailed and emotional" conversations after which they "BOTH agreed to part ways on good terms."
Those two statements cannot be reconciled. Someone is not being totally truthful.
Of course that might not be DeShield's fault. She may be the one telling the truth.
Personally I don't tend to give a lot of credit for "class" for carefully prepared statements. Who knows how many hands went into crafting that, and how much authorship can actually be attributed to Diamond herself. It reads like one of those statements that a lawyer or agent hands to a player to read at a press conference.
