Message: [QUOTE="Blakeon18, post: 4074791, member: 35"] Regarding Nykesha Sales and football: She was at Ohio State on her visit and of course attended the football game. Geno was aware of the visit and turned that game on TV for a bit. The weather was atrocious..snowy/cold/windy. Geno....being Himself...said that he hoped Nykesha was freezing her [blank] off. Another Nykesha blast from the past: Her final 4 were UConn/Virginia/Ohio State and Stanford. Stanford had a deep and excellent recruiting class from that high school year [1994]. After Nykesha declared for UConn, Tara said something along the lines of 'we wanted Nykesha but we got 5 Nykeshas in that class'. I don't remember any of those names....but they were in fact big-time. Fast forward to Nykesha's soph or junior year. In a December non-conference game in Florida she goes for a one game school record in points [maybe 46 or 48]. Against...who else...Stanford! Think maybe CD had plastered Tara's quote all over Nykesha's locker pre-game? I'm pretty sure that her single game record still stands...quarter of a century later. [/QUOTE]
