Simone Egwu
Virginia
Freshman

I came to Virginia because of the combination of basketball and academics.

1. "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha. That's my jam.

2. "Bleeding Hearts Club" by P.O.S.

3. "Weightless" by All-Time Low.

Los Angeles with my dad. We got to see old family friends and it's an awesome and a beautiful place. I wear No. 4 because it was my number all throughout middle school, but when I got to high school it got taken away from me because the jersey was too small. So when I got to Virginia I decided to go back to it. My car, because it gave me freedom. It's a purple dodge neon with a black bumper.

I came to Miami because I felt like I could help build the program and I enjoyed the team chemistry, I also enjoyed the coaches energy.

1. "Slow Juke" by Young Steff.

2. "Successful" by Drake.

3. "LOL Smiley Face" by Trey Songz

Las vegas because I've always seen the big bright lights on TV and I thought I would never be able to see that sight myself. I wear No. 32 because I have always been wearing it since i was younger. Being able to have the chance to have a great team and coach in high school, to win four consecutive state championships, and becoming a McDonald's All-American.

2. "Need U Bad" by Jazmine Sullivan.

3. "One Night Stand" by Jazmine Sullivan.

Paris because it was just so beautiful and romantic. I wear No. 23 because No. 22 was not available at my high school and someone I looked up to wore No. 22. Life.

Grand Bahama Island. It was different than the United States and very pretty. I wear No. 11 because one of the best basketball players I know wears it. A scholarship to NC State.
 
Lele Hardy
Clemson
Senior

I came to Clemson because they recruited me the hardest and the atmosphere was great. The coaching staff was so down to earth and cool.

I don't have an iPod.

The Bahamas because it was so much fun and I had so much to do. I wear No. 11 because that was the first number I saw and picked out. There was no specific reason My rims to go on my car. 
 
Angel Gray
Florida State
Senior

I came to Florida State because the women (players) here were like family. The coaches were very family oriented as well and cared about you on the court as well as off the court. I really enjoy being around these people every day!

1. "Venus vs. Mars" by Jay-Z.

2. "Smash Into You" by Beyonce.

3. "So Fresh So Clean" by Outkast.

South Africa!!!!!! It was way beyond my expectations. The people, food, and culture were amazing and I learned so much from the people. It was definitely a life changing experience. I wear No. 1 because No. 10 was taken by Mara Freshour! I wore No. 10 from my middle school career through my last years before college. I have finally grown into the number though! My car!! The heat gets so bad in Tallahassee and I was so grateful I didn't have to walk. I have great AC now!!
