Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2661390, member: 26"] I hope this doesn't turn into an angry sort of thread regarding the "harshness" of UCONN fans' comments on players, but in an interview with ONO's HC by Score Atlanta: [I][B]SA: [/B]How will she fit in right away at UConn, which has made 11 straight Final Fours? [B]KG:[/B] She wanted to go to UConn, she wanted to be challenged. And she didn’t want to go where she knew she would walk in and be the best. So she’s going into a program where she knows she’ll have to earn her time. [B][U]She’s seen some of the comments that have been made about the freshman class this year, and she knows she’s going to have to show it at practice[/U]. She knows that she’s going to be expected to handle the ball, she knows that she’s going to be expected to shoot and really guard people that are potentially smaller than her, obviously, because they are such a big lineup at UConn. When you go play for him, he’s going to make you a better player, I think that’s what she’s so excited about[/B][/I]. Not entirely sure what "comments that have been made about the freshman class" refers to - but there is a good chance it relates to comments made on the BY. (It's also possible she read some of the comments Geno made this season as well which were reported in the "papers")... We KNOW that historically, there have been at least several (if not numerous) family members of current and past players who have posted on the board as well as family members of potential recruits. Given that the BY is probably the most active WCBB fan board in the nation, it's no surprise we get all sorts of ranges and types of posters, and having high expectations is [B]not[/B] unfair. I am not trying to tell people how to post, but to remind all of us that you NEVER know who is actually posting, or even lurking, on the board, so when you start to post something critical of a player (past, current, or future), pause a second to at least consider they, or a family member, might be the next person to read your words. I'm NOT saying there's anything wrong with even critical assessment of a player's skills, potential, or abilities, but just try to remember the audience that could see what you post... :) [/QUOTE]
