Kiah Gillespie on Maryland and UConn

[Dove]

I hope one of Maryland's strengths is a good Coherent English course.

Stoopid response. In fact, because of your post I read the article and for the life of me I still don't get your post. Oh well.

Having done a hard 9 year stretch in Meriden myself I hope she has a great career at MD.

You gotta admit that Brenda's locker room stuff provides lighter moments before the game!

Her locker room talks are comical. I enjoy those canned rally cries.

My take is that she said what she said, clarity or lack thereof may be more of an issue of the intellect and listening skills of the reader. or the lack of said skills. Now the topic of where this young lady will apparently be going to school and whose WBB program she will be gracing. If she was looking for a commit and Geno/UConn was not offering one then she felt comfortable signing with MD. Nothing complicated about that. Story over. What we all think about an in state recruit is irrelevant to what Geno's plans are.

She obviously isn't stupid, she took the best offer--or at least the best for her--whether SHE would have actually accepted a Geno offer is something we can/may debate. Geno has in the recent past (with in the last 7 years) in interviews discussed the issues with finding and recruiting Women BB players from Connecticut. He then (maybe still) didn't have a very high opinion of how well Connecticut WBB HS players were trained in fundamentals and general BB skills. Some of those who have the time and dedication may pull up those interviews if so inclined.

Was that Meridan? Isn't it called the Honolulu of Central Connecticut, with it's great Water front??

My little sister is a 2018 recruit so I'm anxious when that time comes, where I have to go off on a poster for comments like that.

Izzy is that you ? Are you talking about Dorie by any chance?

Oh puhleez!...
...And my apologies to the majority of posters in this forum. The last thing I want to do is to start a schism that changes the decorum of this forum especially since I rarely come here to post.

8,832 posts Rarely indeed. Wait, that was sarcasm, eh?

Sarcasm was employed in that post but not about that point. I rarely present an opinion on the Women's bb forum! Although I lurk here frequently and am a women's bb fan. Can you imagine how many posts I would have if I didn't confine myself primarily to one forum? I'd be in Icebear territory!

Lol noooooooooo it isn't Izzy! I hope we can get Dorie though! She's good from what I hear.

This girl can ball!! My daughter played against her a few times. She can handle the ball, shoot the 3 or go inside. Maryland got themselves a good one.

The article said the best player to come out of CT in quite a while. Hasn't Geno been pretty critical about the way prep bb is structured in CT?

I'd guess that Bria Holmes' connections might disagree.
