Anyone spot Ezi in the crowd at tonight's game yet?

At halftime I walked past an athletic-looking dark-skinned young woman about 6-4 in height. She was accompanied by a young guy who might have been her brother. She was wearing a dark blue sweater.

Could be.

You're the man. Where is she located so I can peep her reactions?

That was Tina Charles.
 
I think Ezi got a pretty good glimpse of what UConn basketball is all about...............while it wasn't close, I'm glad the game was a bit more competitive so that she doesn't think all of UConn's opponents are complete pushovers

:D If UCONN beats a team by 15 or less, then the beaten team is not a pushover.
Texas, Notre Dame, and Louisville So yep! Not all of UCONN's opponents have been pushovers. :rolleyes:;)

This is kinda funny. How many threads have UConn fans started this year fretting about the production of the freshmen class? More than one, that's for sure. The good news is next year they will be sophs and they might all improve dramatically. This year they were disappointing given their recruiting rankings. There's no way to sugar coat it. You all know it.

Horvat's stats aren't eye popping but she had her moments. Fellow UCLA Fr. Michaela Onyenwere was a fairly significant contributor for them.

I clearly stated in my post UConn is a better program w/ a better coaching staff. I would expect McBegor would develop more there than if she chose UCLA. I was merely pointing out the irony of being critical of the production of a UCLA freshmen given the production of all of Uconn's highly touted freshmen. Take off the blinders for a second folks.

It isn't about the production of freshmen, it's about the development of talent over 4 years. If it was about freshman numbers then she'd be visiting Knoxville where freshmen thrive.
 
So did anyone actually see Ezi at the game? Or Do we have any confirmation she was there or on campus today?

You're late to the party. This all started with another poster noting the production of a Fr. from UCLA. Which made it relevant and valid to note the production of UConn Fr. That's all.

Yep, saw her as well. She was sitting behind UConn bench. Very tall and very athletic looking. If that wasn't Ezi, I would recruit her anyhow.

Yes. You are right. But the real issue in comparing Magbegor's choice of colleges beyond the locations of the schools is which school does a better job developing top pros and in that regard UCLA loses, and loses badly.

Agreed, and I've never disputed that throughout this thread.
 
I had trouble finding Ezi in the crowd, because I was 20 rows behind her. I think we had a couple of other recruits at the game—tall girls that Marissa spoke with. Well after the game, Ezi and her brother walked toward the locker room. Ezi wore a dark jacket, dark stretch pants, and white casual sneakers. Her brother was notable for wearing a ski cap with a tassel. He looks to be at least 6’7”. I saw enough of her face to confirm it was Ezi. So, yes, we have a confirmed Eziyoda sighting.
 
Did anyone see Ezi at the USF vs UCONN game tonight?

I think you may be shortchanging UConn...............I'd say if you stay within 25 you're doing pretty well

Thanks for the Ezi siting confirmation as well as the detailed fashion report. :)

Most importantly (not really, but sort of), the weather was fairly mild (until after the game) and the campus looked beautiful.

Other than the massive rainstorm on Sunday and rotting piles of snow, I'm sure the campus looked every bit as beautiful as UCLA's.

Didn't see any snow at all and I took a long walk around campus around 5:00. Looked quite lovely. I'm not a big lover of the UCLA campus or of Westwood: I think it's far too intense and compressed a look for a university. Give me the mid-western look (which UConn has captured) anytime.
 
If she goes to LA.

A top 20 team but by no means a powerhouse.
Quite a tall team with 11 players over 6'1.

If she cares about getting the most out of her basketball ability, there's only one choice, and it's not the place with palm trees. But this is a complicated situation for her that makes it unique compared to recruiting American high school kids.
 
Following up on my post from yesterday on this thread, where I pointed out that when Ezi attended UCLA’s senior day Saturday, the crowd was listed as 3866, in an arena that holds 12000+, with UCLA struggling in OT to beat unranked Utah.

Last night Gampel was right at capacity with 9115 fans, with UConn beating 20th ranked USF by 29.

Certainly, food for thought for Ezi on her long trip home to Canberra.
