I could be misunderstanding your first two statements. No, she has not been a great player in college. But, since your opinion is that she is a great player, why would you be surprised/disappointed that she is transferring to a "Top Program" like South Carolina? Were you expecting her to choose a mediocre program?
No one was more excited than I was when Destiny started considering Texas and eventually deciding to come here. What we learned about Destiny is that she is a great 3-point shooter, and a great student academically. She did not make any Big 12 teams while at Texas, so I can't call her a "great player", as much as I'd like to since I like her for how she represented herself and Texas, and all the obstacles in life which she has had to overcome for such a young person.
But, Destiny did not show up in the proper physical condition her freshman season. And, getting injured during the season basically put an end to her chance of contributing. Destiny herself went on record after the season as saying she did not realize how important conditioning was going to be in college as she didn't have to concern herself with that in high school. Even after two full years in college, she has not attained the conditioning that is needed to be a "great player". But, there is still time if she decides to make the commitment to improving her conditioning.
