She wanted to be closer to home could have been good enough...its kind of a standard response..satisfying posters needs/questions shouldn't necessarily be Gino's objective...

Edwards..

Then why did Gino throw her under the bus re: academics?

Very classy for Geno to air out the dirty laundry about her academics..guess he's trying to do damage control with this chronic transfer (especially two McD's in consecutive years) issue..

We will see. Not really predicting anything..but she is fun to watch and highly skilled..Nova is always fun to watch with Coach Parretta..

What's the UConn fans know about Hahn down in DE? I got to watch her a lot. Close with EDD and went to same school. Doesn't look like a player walking in the gym but she is something..her handle and range and shooting off the dribble (behind the back, step back, whatever) is Steph Curry...

Some exciting freshman coming to the scene.. Mercedes Russell, DeShields, and Kaela Davis should be three to see.. I know I will watch.. Upperclass..Stewart, KML, Simms, Williams, Maggie Lucas (one of the most exciting players to watch)

How so? For clarification I did not mean to say that they are being lured to NIKE programs to be exploited but they are lured their for the ability to play in select tournaments, on select teams, and even get their season paid for in some instances...

What's amazing is this is a NIKE sponsored club..if you recall there was a similar incident this year for another NIKE Club..the Fairfax Stars (and the girls were below 17)..and what I've seen from other NIKE organizations like the Mike Flynn lead Philly Belles (tweeting a standing offer for...

And now I just got my People Like Me Trophy for getting 500 points..I'd like to thank you all ..it should make Doggydaddy's day..aka .. Grumpysorus Rex.. I thought Grampas were warm and cuddly..dagnabbit....

accepting congratulations for being awarded my Used Member trophy yesterday for this board..not sure what the "Used" means but I think I'm getting the drift..all kidding aside I do enjoy the board.. I think I'll just concede on this thread...

OK..so UCONN and Louisville are now mid majors in your mind..gotcha.. .. so who is trying to pick fights/split hairs here? and I would remember that the fans in some way represent their University..so don't drag your team/players down with the arrogant holier than thou attitudes..it only takes a...

It's been mixed but for those that welcome a different opinion and civil discourse..Thank You.. I agree what Burdick said probably wasn't well received by the coaches..that's why I thought it should not be inflamed..One of the things I really like about UCONN and Geno is that they don't let up...

This guy looks like he had one to many belts..plus the final four last year was UConn, ND, Cal, and Louisville.. maybe the UCONN faithful think anybody but ND who beat them is a mid major? In fact if you look at the sweet 16 the only mid major was DE and Elena..the clear crowd favorite...even...

I guess using the term arrogant applied to a group could be considered insulting to some individuals of the group..I apologize..but it's a lot different than being individually called stupid and ignorant..their is a sense of arrogance in all champions which is fine..that is where the humility...

UT is scooping up all the top talent in Texas

That's because their is a broader/deeper depth of talent in the mens game and there is more competition/parity..Selection of All American's is very political, both in the men and womens game, but it is a lot easier to win with a stacked AA team on the womens side..just look at mid majors like...

I think the attraction is when David knocks off Goliath..that's why I also like the Villanova Wildcats! both the men and women's history..and when ND beat mighty UCLA on the mens side..nobody is shooting for a .500 record, that wouldn't be trying to reach the bar UCONN set..I like the triple...

I am a fan of the woman's game. I love watching good competition. Honestly I respect UCONN a ton (who couldn't) but as a fan tend to pull for underdogs but it not like I'm an I hate UCONN fan. Two of my favorite players are Stewart (who I was around for a couple years..I'll leave it at that) and...

Agree about the kids.. no I don't dislike you all..but the message is becoming strong and clear that only kool aid drinkers are welcome on the board...I'm not offended by her "arrogance".. I'll call it confidence..because she is a young competitor putting in a lot of work and is setting some...

That is why I think Geno is a great coach and UCONN is/was fun to follow...but the chest thumping at the top of the mountain from the brethren gets a little old..and you would be a little naive (notice I didn't say stupid, silly, ignorant, or other terms used towards me) if you didn't think the...

Geno is a great coach..his record speaks for himself..recruiting has definitely been in his favor over the years..but I think there are several, if not most of them, coaches that push and strive for greatness..or at least try to get the most on and off the court from his players..it's insulting...

anything not drinking the kool aid is labeled "ignorant"..which is where this post began...

Yes..Thank You for asking..and I hope you are as well.. see it isn't that hard to be human to those outside the cult..

I agree..my point is not that UCONN should encourage players to go elsewhere but to say that a player can never be great unless they go to UCONN..if someone wants to come fine..but if they don't their choice should be embraced with anticipation that maybe folks will see some competitive games in...

that's the difference..nobody really cares what a Boneyarder says (maybe Miley would) except us losers spending time on message boards..this is a young player with confidence in her team and the upcoming season..I love to see that... versus a bunch of chatter from front-running fans...

except that Philly has a reason to be miserable and have crappy sportsmanship because they never win anything! It just seems to me that the UCONN fans/program doesn't need to speak much about how good they are..all they have to do is smile and point to the record books...but when someone else...

More arrogance from the UCONN faithful..so no one can be great unless they play at UCONN.. where they would be surrounded by stars... I think anyone with half a basketball brain would realize that Elena created a legacy at Delaware (and nationally) as one of the best players EVER.. and is by far...

.the arrogance of the UCONN faithful..does it ever end? Everybody knows how good UCONN is but do you really have to challenge every statement made by anybody at anytime and say..but we are better and won the championship..na na na... the young player should think they are the best if she is a...

These stats are nice but we all know kids want to play when it matters.. minutes are minutes but playing in mop up time when your up by 30 is not the same as playing when the games on the line..one would have to go back and check the minutes in games like ND and the tourney.. the bench gets...

UConn fans are about on par with the Phila Eagles fans

yes..you can play as a freshman if you are better than the players ahead of you! and not just better but can show you have earned Geno's trust.. so recruits should pay a lot of attention to the roster/depth chart.. you have at least three rising sophomores that aren't likely to give up much...

corporal was spelled correctly..that saves you a whack from the nun's strap :)...bit if a player has a smart mouth or bad attitude you can kick her out of practice or even off the team if it's repeated..not saying they should not be punished for crossing over the line but screaming in their face...

It is well known that teaching is much more effective in a positive environment with proper reinforcement..it seems like a lot of people on this board yearn for the days when they got their knuckles hit by the Nuns with their yardsticks..despite what they may think people tune you out when you...

Surprising this hasn't seemed to hit the recruiting blogs much..
