Geno just dropped the ball ...

I will be at the game on Friday so I will see first hand how Gillespie is doing. Remember that the Terps are not playing high level competition right now compared to UConn (tOSU) so whatever KG does you have to take it with a grain of salt. KLS is a little slow coming out of the gate but she'll get there. You also have to remember, just as Alyssa Thomas in 2010, the Terps will have to rely on KG to score more points than KLS will for UConn because they already have elite scorers on the team like Stewart and Jefferson.
 
Bring in all the insults lol. [mod edit: flaming] Geno and Chris Daly are entitle to mistakes. He recruited for player Sadie Edwards, who stayed a semester. KG in my humble opinion will have a more profound collegiate career than Collier and KLS. I've seen them all play a number of times. Most evaluators will go with the sexy pick. I went out of the box. That's what makes me and my skill set unique.

Deal! You are on. I will also so KG will be the better pro prospect and will be drafted ahead of Collier and KLS. You can take that to the bank!

Have you been in mourning since Monday night? I would love to take your comment to the bank but it would bounce just like your many guarantees about Monday night's game. If you are such a great evaluator of WCBB and players, I am disappointed that you haven't posted your analysis of the complete blowout by UCONN Monday night.

Or as some call it, the intelligent/knowledgeable pick.

And out of the infield and into left field. Not even sure you stayed in the stadium.

Now that, I will definitely agree with.

Definitely punching bag time. But Hoopdreams as you're willing to set yourself as the humble non-sexy and uniquely cracked mirror that deflects all bad luck from UConn with weirdly distorted images, go for it. Being the village bonehead on the Boneyard is a thankless task, but at least you'll get some attention.

I love his new nickname. And his posts continue to reinforce its applicability. Well done!
 
OK Hoops - are you going to be at the Garden for the Maggie Dixon Classic?

Let's see how well your pick does against Moriah, Kia and Gabby. I suggest you pick will have a very unproductive evening as will Maryland.

But that's okay. You go and have at it. See you at the Garden!!!!!
 
So, hoopdreams, since you're on - and such as superb assessor of talent - give us the rubric we will use to measure "better than" across the games UConn and MD play through Dec. 28th. I'm sure it will take in quality of opponent, stats across minutes, and other such nuanced details that come into play when assessing a player.

Also, if you'd like to join us for the Maggie Dixon Classic, I have a extra ticket. $45 gets you all-but-ringside.
 
You guys need to be concerned more with Notre Dame than Maryland at this point and time. Geno also dropped the ball on Danielle Patterson. If she winds of up Notre Dame, which is highly possible, you guys are in for a world of hurt.

Having lots of time on my hands, I read this entire thread this morning. Permit two comments:

1. I hope Ms Gillespie has a successful career at Maryland. After all, she's a Connecticut girl (a "Nutmegger"? :rolleyes:). Besides, I have a strong family connection to Maryland U., so please allow a little bias.

2. I will re-create a post [which got deleted] in response to the dreamer's keen evaluation of Geno's (in)ability to shine shoes:

"You need new material for your comedy shtick."​

What I found most humorous was the statement of "IMHO" made by this guy. Nowhere in any of his semi ranting statements is there any sense of humility. I this and I that, and Geno knows how good I am, etc. all emanate from this guy's keyboard. 10 titles in 20 years, who has a better record? 5 undefeated seasons, anyone with more? 90 game winning streak, anyone else close? Geno and staff make decisions at a point in time and it's not in a vacuum. Roster size, positions filled, intangibles, all effect who gets offered and some times who does not. And as hard as it is to understand this sometimes a potential recruit just has her heart set on somewhere else, Don't recall the exact coment but a reference was made to Sadie Edwards and I think the implication was that Geno made a mistake. How about Saide made a mistake in her self evaluations believeing she deserved more PT and when she realized that was not going to happen she was determined to go elsewhere in the hopes of getting the PT she wanted. One of her options. And she left. Good luck. KG never got to Storrs, No offer or none deserved? Does it matter? Does the squad seem filled with a lot of really good fits? And when Butler and Boykin return a tough roster to share minutes with 13. Think another player would help that issue much?

Just the ramblings of a superb evaluater who has not met with Geno many many more times than I could count and also have not shared player assessments with him on nearly a daily basis.

I have a question, hoopdreams. After you share your assessment rubric, I'd love for you to lay out which version of "Dropped the ball" you're using...

1) "where'd she come from, how'd we miss her" (a la Alanna Beard)
2) "meh. she's not that talented, we don't want her." (you mis-evaluated her skill set)
3) "hmm... she's talented, but there's something about her that doesn't gel with our program... it's not the right mix" (you shoulda taken the chance)
4) "Dang she's talented! Go get her Shea! What, why doesn't she want to play for us!" (You sent the wrong person)
5) "Dang, she's talented! Rats, Brenda just out-recruited us." (You blew it)
6) "Dang, she's talented. Hmmm... now that we've spoken, she doesn't want to play in CT because of the pressure" (You should have pushed harder)

I think, maybe, Hoop has a hidden agenda here: he's heard that they're casting a sequel to "The Princess Bride", and he's eager to be given the role of Vizzini...;)

Have you asked yourself what was the MOTIVATION for the posting that you gave this answer to?? Maybe he/she got what he/she wanted. I didn't know Geno was a Metallurgist . Coaching and Metallurgy too!!!

NO!
 
This thread has remarkable legs. Closing in on 200 comments and 10,000 views. That's some effective trolling.
 
Oh, oh, we are truly doomed. KGill is having a nice game for the Terps with 19 points late in the 4th period. Mr. you-know-who is going to be crowing for the next week that he was absolutely right that KGill is the second coming of DT + Maya combined. True the Terps are playing another turkey called High Point that rated well into the #230s ratings last year and was pretty much on a UCF or SMU level, but never let the facts get in the way of a story about the all-crushing leviathan that has been unleashed on college basketball. Doooooooooooooooooooooooomed!
 
I think in all fairness, we should let everything get settled on the court. At the end of the season, I just want you to say these words "HOOP DREAMS YOU WERE RIGHT"
