Future Cast Projection: Update Former Purdue Teammates Culture Fit or Big Offer$?

This is an updated Future Cast we have no problem updating at all. WE WERE WRONG on Eva Hudson's transfer school (well so was every coach fueling the rumor mill at the AVCA conference in Louisville, but we took the bait) so we were wrong.

After hearing from multiple and much more reliable sources today the new here is the Projection

Eva Hudson: 95% Confidence Kentucky Wildcats. It sounds like this was Hudson's favorite from the beginning and she loved Kentucky because of CULTURE Fit, COACHING Fit and Positives of Wildcat Program. If so that is a gigantic W for Coach Skinner and his staff taking arguably the #1 transfer from 3 of the biggest spenders and logo schools in college volleyball (and also having a top recruit confirm what we have been saying about UK for 3 years now, maybe more high profile prep recruits will take notice)

It is also important to note that Hudson deserves a bunch of kudos as a person for sticking to her values and beliefs because it is confirmed that the others offered her considerably more "extras" than UK could and she is apparently sticking with the Cats because it is the best situation for HER and not taking the "big bag". There may still be some hope for the "little guys" in college athletics, not much but some. Also, if true this is an athlete that will become an instant favorite of ours because that is a VERY RARE occurence in P4 athletics today. The big dogs just aren't used to losing out when they can offer more "extras".

Chloe Chicoine: 95% Confidence Louisville Cardinals. Hudson's teammate with Purdue should be very close to announcing her next program and all signs point to that being Card Nation. Again reports had Chloe having multiple big brand offers, but the main separator for DBK's Cards seems to be their CULTURE FIT for the dynamic OH. The comfort level and player friendly environment seem to have been a big difference maker for Chicoine over other offers.
