Candace Parker emerged as a phenomenal talent in basketball at just 13 years old, garnering immense attention from elite college programs nationwide. Her skills and physical presence were unmatched, compelling coaches to pursue her intensely. Nikki Fargas, who was instrumental in her recruitment, believed Parker had the potential to be the greatest player under legendary coach Pat Summitt at Tennessee. Parker eventually made history by committing to Tennessee on national television, marking a significant milestone in women's sports recruitment and setting the stage for her illustrious career.
Her game at such an early age was something I had never seen in person," said Nikki Fargas. "To see her do it so young tells you a lot."
Fargas made her final pitch clear and direct: Parker could become the greatest under Summitt.
