Anybody have new info on Megan Walker & when she will decide?

[Wally East]

One selfish note: It is not a social disgrace or error in decency--to let the winner and the "losers' all know together on the day she announced it. A call afterward isn't necessary but shows good breeding (or so they say)

What leads you to think she won't let all three coaches knows beforehand?

THANKS FOR ASKING.
My point is --and Geno has alluded to this in the past--that many recruits don't make the call you speak of. As I said about the decency call--it isn't necessary but --shows a level of politeness.
Like you I have no way of knowing precisely what any recruit says or does--until they say or do it.
The point is --it's politeness--the kids will never be coached by those they don't call (usually) and not making that call shall not effect their future, usually. Again--quoting and often quoted--What DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE/??? ---------------OPINION.

 

[BroadwayVa]

This. But it probably shouldn't be termed "notoriety," which connotes being well known for bad doings. What Stewie did was a very good thing, unless one is a partisan of a program that faced her teams for four years. Ahem.

We similarly tend to abuse the word "infamous." It does not mean the same thing as "famous," nor is it the opposite. A synonym for "infamy" is "evil."

I don't charge tuition, but I do take donations via PayPal. Class dismissed, or perhaps dismissive.[/QUOT

I can accept the "class " in words and their usage--as long as it's acknowledged that most people using the boneyard ---attended at least 3'rd grade--but the Ahem--was a bit over the top.
If you keep this up you'll be as NOTORIOUS as another poster .
Is there a difference between ---IN --famous--OR --OUT--famous/ as in FAMY??

So, what makes you think Megan Walker won't make these calls?

I had to look up the definition of "Dyspepsia". After reading it, I had to laugh. Good one UcM!!!

Good I thought he wrote ---Dysplacia--- (I have a comment on that but--won't use it)
If you keep this up you'll get a peptic ulser--

Well, if this is what you're sticking with, that you have no way of knowing, why would you say it? What would make you say something negative about a 17-year-old you don't know? (And it's not just you.)

 

[BroadwayVa]

She would have signed in the standard window in the spring, but the uconn coaches might have had dyspepsia.

Carnac --liked this.
I think Geno and company, who have been through these wars--would say "what ever will be--will be'
Unlike fans, who are on the outside of the Coaching business looking in and (like me) have hopes for a great future based on one recruit. Funny (as in odd) isn't it??

I admit in a very early posting about Megan I something along the lines of --can Geno work with her ME attitude. That wasn't fair cuz==I don't really know her.
But --my OPINION about the politeness or not of calling prior to the announcement --is a huge stretch to call that NEGATIVE.
If it was a negative comment about a 17 year old ---NANHUSKY--would be calling me out--AGAIN.
If you are looking for an argument--look elsewhere!!

 

[Wally East]

If you're basing it on nothing, why not just not do it, you know?

 

[TitleTown]

Or won't makes you think she hasn't already? People on the outside have NO IDEA what is really done or said so I think it is unfair to pass judgement without having all the facts!

Exaaaaaaaacccctly!

The established, and widely honored, protocol is for recruits with multiple offers to call the coaches on their "final" list in advance of their public announcement of which program she will sign with. It is possible that recruits or their parents (especially the first time around) may be unfamiliar with this tradition but coaches are certain to know the drill.

Smart money is placed on Geno, Muffet and Karen each getting a call from Megan sometime before November 10. One will be pleased and the other two will wish her well. Between gritted teeth.

 

[Bestiarius]

That's just it there hasn't been any "extravagance". Stewie signing on the hood of a car and Lexi Gordon (& others) signing shortly after visiting UCONN has created this urban legend that all every recruit who "really" wants to go to UCONN makes their mind up right away and do it low key. A commitment to UCONN WCBB is a really really big deal. Take a much time as you want, celebrate & gloat as much as you want. If you are lucky enough to find adults that are willing to live and die by your every tweet-play along.

Geno's new desk will make it easier for recruits to commit to UConn in a manner acceptable to the Boneyard.

This whole post is based on nothing! No one here knows anything! it's just a bunch of opinions and things rolling around in our brains. No one here is intentionally trying to be negative in any way. I don't understand why you have a continuing issue with a fellow boneyarder posting their opinion and what they think may have or will occur. that's the point here isn't it?

 

[Wally East]

Speculating on where she's going to go is harmless.

Speculating that a 17-year-old won't do the polite/tactful/considerate thing/is a diva/has a huge ego is not.

See the difference?

This isn't the 1930's where a note was deliver with each action.
In no place did I diss this kid for anything.
I say and I said--it was/is unnecessary for her to call hand write a note of thank you.
Geno (as I pointed out ) acknowledged kid rarely tell him ahead of the announcement.
OK, don't quote this or anything on the Megan travails. You have an issue with reading----if you want more of an answer--read all my post on Megan Walker
No more replys from me..

Maybe it has something to do with that kid who said she would become the Shaq of WCBB, then chose Rutgers ... what was her name?

 

[Bestiarius]

And as we patiently wait for a decision, in an endless thread that has covered every conceivable angle - except Palindromes!

Nag 'em avid diva Megan.
Or, regarding a Texas possibility - Nag 'em, no Stetson Megan.

Any others in a quest for 200,002 posts?

Please just tell you understand that calling a 17-year-0ld you don't know and have little knowledge of a diva or predicting that she'll engage in behavior you describe as rude isn't a kind thing to do.

 

[Bestiarius]

First, the primary definition of diva is not a pejorative and is not how I meant it. Second, it's hard enough to compose palindromes without having to consider political correctness.

 

[Wally East]

Okay, sure, tell me how calling a girl a diva isn't an insult because the definitions I'm finding are:

• a famous female opera singer.

• a famous female singer of popular music.
  
  
• a woman regarded as temperamental or haughty.

Megan Walker isn't a singer.

I just think people can do better than insult a girl they don't know (but still want to come to UConn).
