Great article on Marie Gulich, with some good insight on how she chose OSU.....
I wonder if impressionable youth (Marie had international experience by the time she came to OSU) leaving home for the first time are as insightful?
“I need to have people who value me as a person and take care of me as a person and not just a basketball player,” Oregon State’s senior center said Tuesday afternoon before practice. “I felt like this program, just seeing all the girls getting along so well being friends on my official visit. It was just really cool.”
Having traveled often while competing for Germany, it was that family feel at Oregon State that won out over the likes of Washington and San Diego.
“I wanted to be a part of something where my teammates are my friends, where we sit at a table and we can laugh and be super loud and have conversations and be crazy,” she said. “It wasn’t like this at the other schools where I visited.”
San Diego, however, was tough to turn down because of the location.
“Then I thought, I could be in the nicest place in the world but if I don’t feel comfortable with the people around me, then I would probably be miserable,” she said.
Go Beavers!
