that goes against everything she has said she is looking for as far as improving as a player to reach the next level..............that said it wouldn't be a total surprise if that happened............
 
if we get her or they get her she is good enough to make it to the next level no matter where she goes

No doubt Jordan will make it to the next level. But where she goes will determine how prepared she is to excel at the next level. Should she choose to stay home and play at Ohio State or TN she will be less prepared to excel in the WNBA. Jordan BB gifts are immense Geno, Dawn, or Jeff will ensure that she does not cheat her gifts. Make no mistake that is the exact order (Geno, Dawn, or Jeff) Holly will not recognize or know how to best empoy Jordan's gifts and she will leave the OSU the same as she arrived if she decided to stay home.
 
i totally agree but if Jordan knows how holly coach’s so she sees something in her to made pick them

If Jordan chooses UConn, she will be a strong DPOY candidate and very, very early draft pick.
 
I find it fascinating that our friend Raoul mentions verbals from players going to Indiana State, Middle Tennessee State, Bethune Cookman and Prairie View A&M among others but no mention of Aubrey Griffin to UConn..............

That's because he's a jerk. He mocked Aubrey, a teenager, because she included UConn as one of her finalists even though she had yet to receive an offer from UConn. He was called out on it and of course his mature response was to ignore both the news that Aubrey was offered by UConn and that she verbally committed to UConn. What a guy.
 
Ask Jewell Loyd if she still enjoys playing with the Huskies rather than against them. The GOAT and the MVP are forces to be reckoned with.

The only Raoul I know is Hunter S. Thompson's alter ego, Raoul Duke. Who is this guy?

Note sure if this has been mentioned before. ESPN article on Aliyah Boston from a few days ago says she down to Connecticut, Notre Dame, Ohio State and South Carolina.
Elite prospect Aliyah Boston strikes gold with USA Basketball after leaving paradise behind
Anyone else surprised by Ohio State?
Expand ...

Yes.
Reasons?
- Possible playing time from the moment she signs her letter of intent?
- She or her parents like/look good in red, grey and white?
- She wants to get buckeye stickers on her helmet (oh, wrong sports)?
- NHL franchise, she can see Bruins when they hit Columbus (assuming she's a hockey fan...)?
- Maybe she knew both UConn and ND were there for the most recent final four and wanted to cover her bases.....?

Got me, but she's already taken her OV; one of the two she's taken pre-3 vs. 3 tourney. She'll then do S. Carolina and UConn afterwards.

well that's always the question who asked who to do that? Frankly if asked I'd just say I prefer not to wear uniforms at my visits but thanks for asking.....

That's kinda not how it works. The recruits know before they get to campus what schools will ask them to put on a uniform and take nice pictures. This is not something that's sprung on them at the last minute. If a recruit is not willing to take picture in a school's uniform, then don't take the official visit.
 
Charliebball said:
I agree....so why bother putting on the uniform?

I would remind everyone that Boston also donned a ND uniform just a few weeks ago. The only uniform that matters is the one she’ll put on during 1st Night at Gampel in 2019.

So for example if Haley Jones or Paige Bueckers tells ND they want to take an official visit but don't want to wear their uniform for a publicity shot ND tells them they are no longer interested? I find that very difficult to believe...........

do they at least get to keep them or is that a violation?

Aw, come on Charlie, please see #4695 in which I detail possible reasons she might come to OSU (please tighten eyelids/eyebrows). All those reasons, plus:
- save for UConn (and others I might not know), this ritual of putting on the uni is par for the course for most trips (as a long-time road runner, kinda like getting the shirt before and if you run the race).
- and, as I said, she wants to see how she looks in red, white and grey. We all should seek different looks, right? :rolleyes:

That said, I think the only uniform you should worry about outside of the Huskies has a lot of blue, gold and/or green in it. ;)
