Regarding that 6'7" player, my view of things is that she is either on schedule or slightly behind in development which would make Vic an average (mabe slightly above) coach-meaning another coach could have achieved the same result with McCowan. This is the junior year for Teaira McCowan. Among the 2015 HS class post players two players have already achieved much more national acclaim than McCowan. Kalani Brown was named WBCA All american as a Sophmore and Kristine Anigwe was named National Freshmen of the year. Since both Anigwe and Brown were ranked ahead of McCowan that is not surprising. However, the post play and development of both Megan Gustafson Iowa (#80) and Hallie Thome Michigan (#64 ) has far exceeded the development of McCowan who was ranked (#45). To simply and conclude,
That ship (spring semester enrollment) has sailed. According to the Mississippi State Academeic calendar she would have to been enrolled by Jan 5th for Spring. Assuming she meets all the other enrollment criteria she will next be eligible to play Fall of 2019.
UConn board....
I care because I'm a fan of AEH and want to make sure I don't miss any of her games. You think it's a coincidence that I added the SEC network to my cable yesterday.
I’d be happier if you usd the Report feature for any personal attacks. You can add a note to the mods when you Report a post, if you’d like. That way we can avoid flame wars.
Interesting observation. I have no reason to doubt that he's never scheduled an OOC game against such teams, but I highly doubt it's by design. I see no reason to avoid scheduling a good team just because a UConn transfer landed there. I recall him being pretty upbeat about the win win nature of most transfer situations on a recent episode of the Geno Auriema show.
Once I lost my New England bias, I found nice and decent, easy to get along with people all over the South. Culture shock? Ask the young ladies that go East or North about that one!1) That was awfully quick. I wonder how many schools she chose to visit.... wonder if she learned her lesson from last time (committing without seeing all the interested schools)
2) If she never experienced culture shock in her life before..... she surely will now

Nan thank you to post this.
The transfer issue is not about AEH. There have been many discussion about the transfer issue here and many people staked out thier position before AEH decided to transfer. What AEH choses to do with the waiver process will undoubtedly spark more discussion. There are also many posters here that apply a broader ( more that former Ossining players) standard of fairness and although many wish AEH well, if she happens to be the first UCONN player not to have to sit for a year, that sense of fairness would be violated. Be prepared for that also.
Mississippians are some of the friendliest ppl in the world. We know y'all are the gold standard and are where we want to be. Hafta start somewhere. We'd love to meet y'all in the finals. Would we win? I wouldn't bet the rent money on it, but we can hope. That's what sports are all about. But I do think we have a coach and team to have it close in the fourth. That's all one can ask for when playing for a natty.
Great move....they play superb softball in the SEC!
