That's wrong. Hoover did everything she could to land Kitley. Kitley considered WF, largely because of her father's WF connection, but he was adamant that she choose the school that was best for her.

Elizabeth thought she had let me down by not going to Wake Forest, but that wasn’t the case, at all. I wanted her to go where she wanted to be.”
