ESPN top 25 women college players, no Kia Nurse?

[HuskyNan]

Was hoping to see Kahleah Copper or Tyler Scaife get some recognition, since I believe both are going to have a great season. Great 1-2 punch for Rutgers.

I really like Scaife. She's a stud.

I really like Scaife. She's a stud.

I suppose I should be asking this of Kibitzer ---but--as a horse, dog, animal person--I only know males as studs. is Scaife a man or a woman??

At year yearend, Diamond #1.

If you read my post, you saw that I refer to Tyler Scaife as a she so I assume you are continuing to take umbridge with terms you find unflattering to women. Calling an athlete a stud is a compliment, in sporting terms, and I'm sure Cole is aware of it, as would be Tyler if she ever saw my post.

First, with out argument, I never said or implied I had taken "umbridge" of your term STUD. What I was questioning the use of a male animal which is used for breeding purposed, why is that applied to a female, as a question not a comment. Meg Pattyson Culmo had used that term often towards WBB players, in more recent times I have not heard her use it- I was never impressed with Megs language skills.. No "umbridge" here. Just why? Why isn't just being a great hard playing FEMALE player term enough for a Woman player?? No offense given or taken.

Stud shorter than "hard playing FEMALE player"- roll with it!

That is a good possibility but far from given. DD health will largely determine it plus there are two (Davis-Baylor & Mitchell-OSU) underclassmen ahead of her that will be leading top 5 Teams next year.
If Lady Vols don't sign a top tier post player for 2016 class I don't see them being a top 5 team next year like Baylor and OSU are almost guaranteed to be.

It's the mental image I have of stud bulls, stud horses after the "act". Not pleasing to think of Women looking so be draggled while performing as STUDS. Hard playing is sufficient and says it all. I suppose if you are not familiar with REAL studs --you may make any word work for you, no matter how unpleasant.

I suppose all those women who worked so hard for recognition and equality are now really ROLLING, in their graves.

I guess Nurse showed up big time in Pan Am games, and in the first game and was pretty good, excellent for a Frosh, but not outstanding for a Jr or Sr is the reason she didn't show up in the top 20. I'm a bit insulted she did not supersede (note the word Gus?) the ND player at 20.

Yes, I did. Well done.

If they are rolling in their graves for this reason it is not a very good one is it?

It works for me. Not unpleasant at all. I think your mental image maybe the problem- your image has nothing to do with what we are talking about.

Its still early...... and Im still biased.... but I still think Stevens deserves to be higher than #24

19.8 ppg 10.1 rpg 2.5 bpg and shooting 59% so far this young season.

I though we had reached consensus on this before she put up these numbers. You could probably slide her in right now any where on the list besides #1 or #2.

Guess Im hoping someone from ESPN reads this thread

Head to head matchup on Sunday vs Wilson..... should be interesting to see how that plays out.

 

[billnaples]

Yes. Lexie Brown over Nurse also. Victoria Vivians over nurse also...

Isn't Lexi Brown sitting out this year as a transfer?

 

[CocoHusky]

Yes Brown is sitting out the year at Duke. I was just pointing out that Lexi Brown and Vivians MSU "would" have been selected over Nurse based on their play during 2014-15 season.

Why does the team need a "badass?" Can't we just have a group of nice young ladies that work hard on and off the court without assigning a negative connotation?

If we used "Good ass," gosh dang, we'd probably be up on charges. I'm sticking to "Bad ass." And that's my story...
