Syracuse, N.Y. — Dominique Darius and Laila Phelia looked at each other, then — in sync — stared across the table at Uche Izoje.
“Nooo,” Izoje quietly murmured, looking left to head coach Felisha Legette-Jack.
Darius and Phelia chimed in, trying to help Izoje, before Legette-Jack stepped in again.
On the court, Legette-Jack said Izoje is “bigger than life,” which might suggest she has an ego.
Instead, the head coach says her 6-foot-3 forward is the “most humble young lady ever.”Darius said she saw the potential in Izoje, but didn’t foresee what was ahead.
