Ezi Magbegor and Assorted Topic Drifts

[MilfordHusky]

Geno’s pretty creative with his lineups. A few years back, during the NCAA tournament, when he was playing only 6 players in prime time, he frequently used Steph, Kiah Stokes, Stewie, KML & Mo. When teams tried to press Mo in the backcourt, she simply passed the ball over to Stewie who easily broke the press. Essentially, Stewie was playing the 2-guard spot, with KML at the 3 and Steph & Kiah in some combination of the 4/5 roles.

Geno created a position for Gabby. He'll figure things out.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The first half of the decision is U.

The second half is Conn or CLA.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

The one on the end.

No No The other end!

Full name Eziyoda. Team jersey 5.

I doubt there is anything here Eziyoda Magbegor • (@ezimagbegor) • Instagram photos and videos
to help the riddle, but I am not an Instagram member. If you are run over there and see what you can see and report back!

 

[RockyMTblue2]

If we don't get her this video could increase your pain considerably. Not for the faint of heart.

 

[JordyG]

Which one is she?!!

The one juuust out of frame.

 

[JordyG]

I agree, but I was referring to Ezi & Boston, not Ezi & ONO.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Or Maya, Tina, and Renee.

Except, unlike Tina's first 2 years, it doesn't look like she bricks much around the hoop! You do remember, right?

 

[NewCorn]

Which one is she?!!

I'm not sure but, I think she's the one in the blue and white jersey.

 

[BigBird]

Here’s hoping Ezi says “Yezzi.”

 

[Sifaka]

Seems like the kind of fine young lady Geno et alia like to recruit: intelligent, articulate, willing to work, not full of herself, and loaded with talent.

Here's another interesting video which will cheer you up in case Ezi doesn't end up in Storrs and will really, really cheer you up if she does.........................pay special attention to the battle starting at the 2:03 mark of the video

Rumor had it that if she came to the US, it was going to be UCONN. We will see if the 2nd part is correct soon enough! I will do back-flips if that turns out to be the case!!

Yeah, but you can walk to UCLA.

This would be Collier being schooled?

I had to look that up

 

[EricSD]

Yeah, but you can walk to UCLA.

It's 15 miles from where I live, which in LA-speak means about an hour drive!

 

[cohenzone]

Hey, 15 miles if close in LA you slug. My son really can walk to UCLA. He’s 2 blocks from the north end of campus, near the baseball field. Westwood village is great.

 

[Alydar]

I seem to remember EZi being quoted recently that she was waiting for an offer from the school she wanted to attend. And if it's true that UCLA traveled down under to see her last summer wouldn't it be fair to assume she got an offer then from the Bruins? Ergo .....

And if it were to happen that she picks UConn my comment to UCLA fans would be that I spent my teenage years wanting talented HS male players to go anywhere but Westwood.

 

[DEpup]

She plays and looks like a baby Z on the court. Tall lean and a lot of the same moves around the basket.

 

[Orangutan]

UCLA is much easier flight, much better climate. Very obvious decision!

Wise move unless the Husky fan is packing a Barrett 50.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I remember a tall player who wore #13 in yellow: Wilton Norman Chamberlain. He was pretty good.

Lots of offensive rebounds. It drove CD crazy.

Ezi Magbegor set to leave Canberra as Opals debut looms

She's coming to the US. Now let's see Geno bring it home!

 

[mbr33ct]

Now I'm confused, is this thread "fresher" than the other Ezi "fresh" thread?

 

[JS]

"It's too cold" must be relative.

Average Highs in Canberra in June/July/August are 54F/53F/56F. Average Lows are 34F/32F/34F.

This is in comparison to Westwood.

It's also an average: In June, July and August last year, there were a few dozen days with lows of -4 (25 F) or less and a handful with lows of -8 (18F) or less.

You guys do realize you're talking about winter in Australia.

Average Canberra temperatures during Australian late spring through early fall (i.e., U.S. college and Australian WNBL basketball seasons) are in the 60's and 70's.

 

[mhshuskies]

Her decision is simple to make. How much does she value basketball. Does she want to take advantage of THE best opportunity to improve and grow her game (UCONN) and herself OR, have fun with the US college experience and play some basketball (UCLA)? If it is the latter than she doesn’t belong at UCONN anyway.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Merged threads about as confusing as Down Under seasons! Someone postulated a while back that Ezi's decision has been made and communicated but is being held, by mutual agreement, until after the NCAAs. I forget or fail to see or both the logic or wisdom of doing that, but hasten to add I have no idea of the variables involved. Just know that the cat is out of the basketball hat in Canberra for obvious reasons. Her WNBA team has to replace her. Now, if a member of the Horde ( not so much anymore, I tend to think of them as the unholy trinity or sextuplets if you count the Courant reporters up who occasionally hold forth)...were was I, Oh yes, if a gentleman of the press were to ask Geno and get a No Comment, how would we interpret that? Or he gave us one of his misdirection plays: "She's quite a player and any college would be lucky to get her...." Or if he gave the inquirer a wink and a mums the word - and if there is ringing silence for a few more days I'm betting on that. This latter theory is ,of course, one that could also work with she has already told him she's headed to UCLA, but could he keep it under wraps. This is all too much for me. I'm exhausted!

I'm sure, but that ain't too cold to snow.

I don't know about that, did you watch the segment I mentioned? I thought Collier took it to Ezi pretty well there.............imagine the two of them playing up front together..................
