Yes.. I was part of the K-12 education world in the 1980s..... when someone would ask me in June..... I would tell them I was a rising sophomore... junior.. or senior. Cant remember if i told anyone that i was a rising 7th grader et al . but I might have

Never used it. Still try not to. Think it's stupid. But when someone would ask me in June, what grade I'm in, I'd say "I'm not, school's out." (yea I was always a smart@ss). If they pressed, I'd tell them I'll be in 5th grade next year.

Same with age, if asked how old I was, I'd say "I'll be 10 in 11 months and 13 days". Never sell yourself short. :cool:

I agree - I don't like the word in this context.

Yeast rises. A person's or a company's status rises.

Does this mean I'm rising to old age?

A three hour one way trip isnt bad... heck..... im planning a few three hour drives to go pick up some lunch this summer.... and then three hours back :cool: I once seriously thought about making a 4 hour trip to Knoxville for a burger.... but I came to my senses ( plus the franchise opened up a location in my city)

A three hour trip from the University Of Maryland to Atlanta?

Delusional.

The traffic on the DC Beltway and I-95 South is like a parking lot most of the time.

Alyssa Thomas took them there last year. Lexie was probably the best player this year, but Walker--Kimbrough, Jones, and Mincy were good as well.

Mark my words...Walker-Kimbrough will be a WNBA star. If she wants to be.

Mincy should be playing with the NY Liberty. She was the anchor for the Terps this season. A lot like KML- pressure didn't bother her.

I didnt say it was a 3 hour trip from Maryland to Atlanta :confused:

Ive been on the Beltway once on a Friday afternoon in july..... took us 2 hours to go from the Springfield Interchange to MD side of the Potomac River

I really liked what I saw of Lauren in the NCAAs, but for reasons we have kicked around a lot about roster limits, etc. in the WNBA, both making it is tough and the fact someone is waived should not be a death knell for the player.

BREAKING: Former Maryland guard Lexie Brown is slated to visit Duke this week after visiting Louisville last weekend.

i cant imagine she would end up in Durham, but if she did........ I'd be smiling and laughing all the way to Cameron Indoor

didn't Duke just sign two point guards . Is Salvadores still coming ?
Expand ...

All signs that Ive read points to Salvadores arriving in Durham to play ...... and yes.... highly regarded Kyra Lambert will be a freshman as well.

Not sure if Brown would consider FSU........ but that would make alot of sense.... and they do have a history of accepting and thriving with transfers..... FSU = florida state not fresno state ;)
 
"Rising" to the occasion, may I say that I thought she was headed to Ohio, but obviously that is somebody else AND with respect to both of them: Frankly, Charlotte, I don't give a ..... 'cuz the Bake It At Home Pizza is ready!
 
I don't get it. Something must of happened with Lexi and Maryland. She had stated she wants to go to a team that gives her a chance to win a NC. So why is she even thinking about Duke lol its just funny cus it seems Maryland did and will give her the better chance before Dookies and Ville
 
I had mentioned earlier that if being closer to home was the real reason to leave MD & the B1G Fla St. made the best sense of all the rumored schools! Closer to her GA home and in the ACC!

Yes, but not a huge chance of winning a national championship.
 
If the reason for transfer is NC contention the only schools with better current records than MD of competing for them are ND and Uconn, so that certainly doesn't 'compute' as I suspect neither is likely on her list or would be that highly interested. The Big10 is unlikely as it would I think include a two year wait before being able to play. Louisville and Duke are not exactly short on good guards at this point. SC might make sense from a need and distance perspective if being closer/playing closer to home is a concern.

I REALLY wish people would stop putting 'South Carolina' and 'Lexie Brown' in the same sentence...

It's not going to happen... Know why?

Because it makes too much daggone sense.

Top 5 team. Growing program. Great facilities. 3 hours from metro Atlanta. Favorable roster.

Neither Louisville or Duke make sense... If distance was a factor then it's interesting Louisville made the cut.. Duke is close but they are STACKED with good guards already and have more coming..

I thought the entire time that she would end up at SC or FSU... so to hear otherwise is interesting.
 
I was betting on her going to reunite with her AAU teammate and friend Davis (leaving GT) with Dawn Staley in SC. They need guards, she needs better PG Coaching, chance at NC. The fact she is exploring others makes me wonder if the Gamecocks may be happier with Cuevas and their other PG prospects. Joining DD (another AAU teammate) in TN seems like a possibility, but they are set at the point.

cockhrnleghr- - - In her original quote she didn't mention her goal for leaving MD as winning a Nat'l Championship but that she wanted to be closer to her GA home! FSU and ACC does that!
 
I hope she lands back in the ACC. After losing Alexis Jones, Deshields, and Davis in the past 2 off-seasons... it would be nice to see some proven talent transfer into the league

Brown should go to South Carolina. They could have a line up of Brown, Davis, White, Wilson and Coates in 2016-17 that should be able to compete with the likes of Connecticut and Notre Dame. Get coached by one of the best point guards ever who has developed Tiffany Mitchell into an All-American, close to home, etc.

In that case, she ought to transfer to Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Auburn, Tennessee or USC. Tallahassee is not that close or easy to get to from Atlanta.

Looked it up cause i was curious..... FSU is just an hour further than South Carolina and Tenn. Though its not straight interstate like those two

That's why it's hard to get to; when going from Atlanta to Tallahassee or Columbia to Tallahassee or just about anywhere other than east-west to Tallahassee, you have to take a lot of back roads, so it would likely be more time consuming than an hour even though it's just 50 miles or so, further. Lexie is also from the northeast side of Atlanta. I just find her reasoning strange unless she's going to transfer really close to home. There's more to it than that.

Driving the back roads of South Georgia/North Florida = the worst.... It's an endless wasteland..
