Ezi Magbegor and Assorted Topic Drifts

[dogged1]

How about a compromise?

A very good wine from down under for sure, but is it, will it be, better than this?

As far as wines are concerned, I believe you have identified the GOAT.

What makes you guys think ONO, Williams, or Ezi would be any more useful than Megan was in her first season? I've learned my lesson about counting my chickens based on hype and recruiting rankings.

I think that players that have international experience really are more advanced to play the college game almost immediately. As a result, Ezi may surprise some people as did Kia Nurse!

People were saying she'd prefer UCLA to UCONN due to weather. RJ mentioned an article that said it was so cold in Canberra that it couldn't even snow. Implying Canberra winters (Jun/July/Aug) were as bad or worse than UCONN's (Dec/Jan/Feb). I just posted what the avg. Temps were for Canberra in their winter. Although not tropical, Canberra is still better off than Storrs in winter.

The main point is/was sunny southern California is nicer than cold, snowy CT. Not that it probably matters to her.

Yes, the smog in LA isn't a major problem. Actually, when I talk to people about Connecticut (with me living in Florida) I always say that Connecticut is a wonderful state as far as ambience as long as you disclude the bigger towns like New Britain, Waterbury, Bridgeport, Hartford, etc. The countryside is great and of course, to have both Boston and New York so close, is actually a pretty positive situation for a lot of people.

Yea, Boston and NYC are pretty close to Storrs. However, UCLA is really close to LA.

Boston and New York trump LA ten times over for culture and the arts and content!

LA does have some characteristics to offset, as well but not nearly enough!

...but first which one should he open up first?

Should at least taste them all !!!

Eh, I don't know about that. NYC probably, certainly not Boston.

I bow to your wisdom.

Um.....


The Canberra Capitals could be gearing up for a complete rebuild with forward Kate Gaze inking a deal with WNBL rivals the Adelaide Lightning.The loss of the 28-year-old is a blow for a Capitals outfit boasting just two players on its roster for the 2018-19 season.

...

The Capitals are still coming to grips with the departures of teenage superstar Eziyoda Magbegor (University of Connecticut) and Bendigo-bound guard Abbey Wehrung.

Just in case you don't know, the above link and info is from the same reporter who recently said she was coming to the states and that her team signed Kelsey Griffin to help offset her loss, mentioned in the posts below:

This is HUGE! So much for my theory that Ezi would wait until after the Commonwealth Games to announce. Hopefully, we’ll get a second confirmation from the Courant or Register. Then I can officially say, “The rich just keep getting richer.”

 

[HuskylnSC]

You know what, considering she's from an area where she has sun, beach and surf 24/7, maybe she'd actually like to experience something different. New England is quaint and beautiful and actually makes Boston andI have a friend New York quite accessible, two great culture centers. I live in Florida and have access to the beaches so when I vacation, I'm looking for the wondrous canyons of southern Utah or the mountains and valleys and splendor of British Columbia. Maybe she's likely to feel the same way and then there is also the Geno, CD thing, helping prepare her to be better than she probably ever thought she could be.

I have a friend who is native Hawaiian. He visited Conn. and witnessed his first blizzard. He was so taken by the storm. He quit his job by phone and stayed in Conn.

<< He was so taken by the storm.>>

I felt the same thing about Florida when I took my first Christmas swim.

I just tweeted the author of this article to get clarification if Magbegor to UConn was officially announced. I will post his reply as soon as possible.

Do they allow him out on weekends ?

Thanks. I was hoping somebody would do that. I'd have done it if I had a twitter account.

This teacher is like UCONN! Her students are like the rest of college basketball.
