Len Bias.... so very, very sad. a tragedy. (Boston never recovered, but that's the least of it.) thanks for this great article.

right. we say that every year, and y0u get the prize for saying it first this time, Rocky. And, someday it will be true!

Funny. I thought the very opposite. I thought the (completely unjustified) knock on her in high school was that she wasn't a great shot. And at UConn Meg never hesitated to shoot: rather, occasionally she took an ill-advised shot, earning her more bench time. But we do agree on her sophomore...

This is silly: Well, one, I’ve always known this, and it’s common sense. The more you keep winning, the closer you’re getting to your next loss, because you can’t win forever. Right: you can't win forever, but you have no idea how long it is until the next loss. It could be the game before...

Great description, Jordy (and Nan). Right, she'll need body work, like all high school kids. But she comes already really, really strong. That's a huge advantage, given all that happens in your freshman year at UConn.

Just catching up with everyone as I watch this on my DVR (wife had to watch tennis!). Wow. Discounting for the nature of the game, still, CW is really, really stunning. I mean jaw-droppingly stunning. And ONO is terrific too. Could CW become the fourth on Mt Rushmore, after D, Maya, and Stewie...

Muffet did an incredible job, but I'd vote for Vic Schaefer. He broke entirely new ground with that team and school.

sorry that you're the last to know, Jordy (the guy is always....oh, never mind!). There's even a photograph of her with her baby bump on another thread.

Bravo, CL82! I was writing an admittedly furious response to this thread about how some folks have absolutely no mercy or common sense toward 18 year olds. But you've said it a lot better (and more reasonably). So, allow me to reframe that with the following mental exercise, a sort of Golden...

My very strong sense (and it is only a sense) is that a lot of other schools really go on the charm offensive. It's not hard to do when you've got the resources and experience already developed for big time recruiting (and UConn does have that in MCBB). But my sense is that the UConn staff...

She's a high school senior who is being interviewed by adults. She's doing her best. After the death of her father, she needed to stay close to home and made the right decision. When I look at how TX underperforms, I'm sorry for her basketball play the next 4 years, but she made the right...

I think Kia dissed her pretty effectively.

Okay, let me rephrase: Thanks, JavaMan: you are really a supreme master of internet and social media research! :-)
