I hope her team begins to win on a regular basis.I hope she can get used to losing. That program has been in a shambles for 20 years.
Hopefuly she knows this..she picked Illinois for a reason. Maybe she prefers deep dish pizza vs. thin crust CT. pizza.I hope she can get used to losing. That program has been in a shambles for 20 years.
Now that's some BS if I've ever heard it. Does she also prefer cold lobster smothered in mayo over warm lobster and butter?Hopefuly she knows this..she picked Illinois for a reason. Maybe she prefers deep dish pizza vs. thin crust CT. pizza.
So this actually makes no sense but I'm going to post it as 'Geno's thinking' nonetheless:

How disgusting. UGHNow that's some BS if I've ever heard it. Does she also prefer cold lobster smothered in mayo over warm lobster and butter?
To be determined.Now that's some BS if I've ever heard it. Does she also prefer cold lobster smothered in mayo over warm lobster and butter?

Having been born and raised in Illinois while living over 20 years in CT, I'll take Illinois weather any day of the week. Central Illinois gets NOTHING that even vaguely compares with a Nor'easter.Unusual choice on all levels - historically poor basketball program, not necessarily a school that recruits in Europe, and poor weather. Wish her well.
What?! I lived in Illinois for 17 years and the humidity is unbearable in the summer months. Ditto for Indiana and Wisconsin, where I also lived for extended periods. I am thankful for every day I live in the Northeast, although for me it is Central NY.Having been born and raised in Illinois while living over 20 years in CT, I'll take Illinois weather any day of the week.

Been back in Central Illinois and haven't had a snow of more than 3" or so in 6 years.
" TURN , TURN, TURN.... to every reason there is a season!"Jordy,
Umm, talking different seasons and college basketball isn't played in the summer. Yes, there's practices, etc but I find the impact of New England winter weather to be far worse than the summer humidity in Illinois (which I don't even notice).
Their coach was one of the best ever DIII coaches. I believe if she can start getting better recruits the program will get much better.Welcome to Big Ten country, Hana!! Illinois is a nice school and the WBB program is getting better.
I can understand that she wants to be at a different Univ. than Nika, but it is a curious choice in a way. I mean, Illinois hasn't made a ripple in women's basketball. Maybe this is how they begin. South Florida has built some strong teams with players from abroad, and Indiana seems a growing force in the big ten. Oh well. Ours is not to reason why...but I am interested. Anyone know more?I'd have loved to have seen her at UConn, but I hope she's happy at Urbanna.
I'm on record as being a huge fan of coach Fahey, but I believe this will be a put up or shut up season for her. I can't see the AD, as much as she was "his hire" from Washington U, being able to justify keeping her around after a 5th season of no significant improvement in results.Their coach was one of the best ever DIII coaches. I believe if she can start getting better recruits the program will get much better.
Washington University has about 15000 students, whereas a typical D3 school has about 2000. The University Division D3 schools have a huge recruiting advantage over everyone else.Their coach was one of the best ever DIII coaches.

That would make sense if D3 schools offered scholarships.Washington University has about 15000 students, whereas a typical D3 school has about 2000. The University Division D3 schools have a huge recruiting advantage over everyone else.
Yeah, I've known loads of people who went there. I can't think of anyone who didn't love it there, although my sample is mostly from the hard sciences, in which UIUC is really strong. Hanna can get a great education there if she wants to.I have an uncle who was an agricultural engineering professor researching soil erosion at UI.
