C. Collier on rejecting Geno

[MilfordHusky]

Now, now... Let's remember that it's OK if I say something about family without retribution, but unless you're family too, you get no such dispensation. I'm from Texas so nothing I say or do here can be used against me in court, in Texas anyway. (I hope I've got that right.) (Oh, and I'll see your and raise you )

My daughter-in-law is from the San Antonio area, and my son went to college in Houston.

Sometimes, when you read threads on this forum, you'd think playing for Geno is the only way to have a successful career in women's hoops. Seems like there are quite a few very good WNBA players and Olympians that didn't come from UConn, so maybe it's possible to play for another coach and still turn out okay.

What do you mean "sometimes"?

The you're grandfathered in! Welcome to the family!

I still do not see the title of this post as synching up with what actually transpired. Collier did not "reject Geno" as much as she chose to stay in state and not attend UCONN. There is nothing personal about Geno as coach.

Synched up with the article.

Which is 100% wrong.

Morgan and Ashley Valley would be quick to point out that Vermont* was an independent republic long before Texas (1777 vs. 1836) and for a longer time (14 years vs. 9 years).

Come York or come Hampshire, come traitors or knaves,
If ye rule o’er our land ye shall rule o’er our graves;
Our vow is recorded-our banner unfurled,
In the name of Vermont we defy all the world !
-John Greenleaf Whittier


*And Husky fans should always remind Longhorn fans that Vermont was initially named New Connecticut. And for good measure throw in the fact that Ethan Allen and his brothers, Seth Warner, Remember Baker, and most other early leaders of Vermont came from the Land of Steady Habits. Finish off the conversation by mentioning that Vermont prohibited slavery in its very first constitution; years before any other American colony/state.

Ethan Allen, the furniture guy?

Several years ago on the Michael Kay Show in NYC that I attended and GA was the guest he GA stated that if EDD stayed at UCONN we would have won 160 plus games and he did count the games. As for the reason leaving rumor has it that one of the upper classman told EDD to get with the duck***g program when she reached Storrs and she was playing pick up ball. But all said and done history shows EDD never won anything and if she stayed who knows what turmoil she could have caused and we may not have won the 2 NC we did win. So things work out the way they supposed too. And the same with Collier who seems like a head case who commits to texas I think while in 8th grade and then decommits as a HS soph. and turns around quickly commits to UCONN. then decommits and quickly commits to texas. And to Collier I say goodbye good luck and more importantly good riddance.

Don’t think it was a rumor. Recall multiple reports that Kalana Greene gave EDD a hard time during a pickup game. I think for not giving max effort, which is something most frosh struggle with.

Ethan Allen, the furniture guy?

Yep ....
Wilipedia: "The company was started as a housewares manufacturer in 1932, then bought a bankrupt furniture factory in Beecher Falls, Vermont, in 1936.[6][7] The firm adopted the name "Ethan Allen" for its early-American furniture introduced in 1939. It was named after the Vermont Revolutionary leader."

Back to the op: Jackie Stiles verbaled to Geno and then sent her LOI to Southwest Missouri State. She was a pretty good one that got away.
