[RockyMTblue2]

Geno Yesterday:

 

[eebmg]

Aaliyah Edwards Media Availability:

A nearly flawless interview until the last Candice Parker like. Just kidding. I am tossing the dislike of Candice Parker overboard as I learn to appreciate her skills and overall life challenges and her shout out to Crystal.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

More Geno

 

[Jibariqua]

[HuskyFan1125]

Not their first BE Championship.

Yes!! She immediately addressed it!

 

[CL82]

Who did Boneyarders compare Lou with when Lou arrived?

Still Lou, which was a little odd at the time.

 

[CL82]

Aaliyah Edwards Media Availability:

So good, well until the last 5 seconds...

Seriously though what an incredibly articulate and intelligence group of young women in this year's freshmen class. They are are so impressive. I can't wait to see them play.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mir's availability.

Mir sounded good on the audio, but the video adds her beaming smile!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Aaliyah Edwards Media Availability:

That's Aaliyah's hair color for the season.

 

[eebmg]

Cant wait for the Evina Video. She sounds wonderful but her visuals in my mind come from helter skelter TN games where she looks less than happy and sometimes overwhelmed

 

[bluedevil]

That's Aaliyah's hair color for the season.

Her English is quite good for a foreign student.

 

[uconnfan68]

Eh?

 

[JordyG]

FOTFLOL. However, I would have said, "She speaks quite good English for a Canadian. But your way is funnier.

I had a nun in grade school explain that you could do something well, and if you did that thing well it was good. But she insisted you could not (insert action verb here) good. It was a pet peeve, and as such she instilled it in us quite well.You could say she did a good job!

[RockyMTblue2]

Aubrey

Hey, you took my job! So we both put it up.

Competition is good

 

[CL82]

Piath

Nice kid. She really seems to have a sweet disposition. CD is going to have to "mean" her up! Lol at Christyn and Paige being "talkers." Somehow that isn't surprising.

Interesting POD. Christyn and Paige very outgoing and Paith and Aubrey a bit "shy"

Lol, and her voice is still rattling around in your head. I love those things.

(FWIW, Count me among those who say "I'm well, thank you" when asked.)

 

[cbraarj]

Yes!! She immediately addressed it!

Since I only stated a fact. Really wasn't a reason for you to follow it up.

 

[eebmg]

Partial (Mama) Evina Clip. Hope they post the full video soon

 

[psconn]

This is Geno taking a super-competitive and cocky athlete and laying down a challenge. Such a button-pusher.

 

[psconn]

Wow. What the heck will THAT look like?

 

[PacoSwede]

Geno taking a super-competitive and cocky athlete and claying down a challenge. Such a button-pusher.

why use the word 'cocky'

i don't see it ... don't think it applies ... AND it carries negative implications for some folks

 

[Zinethar]

I used to have discussions with my best athletes all the time about being cocky. Cocky is good when backed up. It shows confidence in a way that impacts your competition so that they have doubts. However, cocky when you don't have what it takes to back it up is bad and makes you be seen just as a jerk. That inspires your competition to want to knock the stupid chip off your shoulder. So basicaly put up or shut up .

having that quality is good, sure. but i don't think cocky is the right term ... to me that implies being a show-off, a put-downer ... i say it's better just to show your superior stuff; if your actually good you don't have to advertise it
