WBB's Kate Fagan is CU's Spring Commencement Speaker
- Thread starter Buffnik

This is great news and she will be an awesome speaker!
Kate is a great Buff who not only writes well, but speaks well. Yes, her books are on intense topics which may cause some blowback on her selection.
However, Kate is a very successful alum and I couldn't think of a better commencement speaker. See lots of photos of her on social media wearing CU gear.

So am I. I well remember her deadly shooting from her playing days. Enjoy her on ESPN when I manage to catch the show.

I like Kate Fagan a journalist, but barely remember her as a player. Regardless, wasn't she uber-critical of her time at CU, specifically Ceal? I haven't read her book, but I thought she rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with her book? Please correct me where I'm wrong...I'm ignorant.
I thought Ceal came out looking great in the book. She kept her personal life from her players, and maintained a high level of professionalism.
You don't remember her? She was a constant 3-point threat and had some ridiculous run from the FT line.
The book was critical of some aspects of college sports, and coming out, and religion... but in general a positive tone about the school.
I saw that yesterday and forgot to post about it.
I read her magazine article on this. Wasn't it in SI or something? Very well written and VERY poignant.
I'm gonna see if my library has it today. Hastings closed down as did the bookstore in the mall, that's my best bet.
Thanks.
