Based on that game, which I hope she does not, I'd say ND would be her choice. Without their star and one other starter, they lost by only 10. UCONN simply could not stop them from beyond the arc. 65% from 3? Just wow!
Megan is a HS Junior, both teams are going to look completely different by the end of the year if they play again. Next year Both teams will look drastically different because ND has 2 Top 10 ranked recruits coming next year and UCONN has 1. The year after (Megan's Freshmen year) who knows what the teams will look like. 65% from 3 and you fall behind by 20 and still lose by 10 is the other side of the coin.

It's possible UCONN would have won by many more points if Turner had played. The team would have been attempting to get the ball inside and not shot as many threes. Also, if Geno had made the adjustment of putting Moriah on Mabry? in the first half, she would not have hurt UCONN as much as she did.
 
Does anyone really believe that recruits make their choice based on watching a single game? I can't imagine it, but then again I'm not a 15 year old girl trying to pick a college with many suitors.

I have no idea what a 15 year old would use to decide among basketball suitors, therefore I would not rule out watching a single game as the deciding factor.

On this board, yeah. One poster last year offered that KLS might reconsider her commitment after the Stanford game.:rolleyes:
 
How's this for weird.? ND Hoops made this tweet and Megan Walker retweeted it: LINK

I was coming to the boneyard to try to link this tweet. It's odd that the ND page tweeted that to begin with, but even more strange that she retweeted it. I follow her (I'm 18 so it's not super weird) and so that's how I seen that.
 
I don't claim to have any 'inside' knowledge or information regarding her, but one of the local HS Girl's BB Coach's here who is a huge presence in the Ohio AAU scene, says that Walker is a done deal to ND and that ND has told a couple of other players that they were recruiting that they no longer have space for them. This same person was the first to say that Kathryn Westbeld was going to ND, when practically everyone had her to tOSU. Again I have no idea what Walker will or will not do, recruiting is such a hinkey business. As far as her coming to UConn on her own dime, is she coming for a visit or just to attend the game? The trip from VA to CT is a straight shot up I-95 and not a really far drive.
Not really a far drive??? There's people that complain about a trip to the shore from midstate and others who complain that they have a twenty five mile commute but hundreds of miles isn't a far drive? The thought of spending hours behind the wheels of a car isn't an appetizing one to me! Guess you feel quite differently!

Good that ND Hoops knows where to look for WBB wit, wisdom, profundity and foolishness.

Speaking of those qualities, the thread is all over the place with several of them, so it's not apparent what generated the chuckle.

Nor is it apparent the retweeter knew, but hey, even mysterious chuckles are better to pass along than muttering and gnashing of teeth.

Maybe it was the two Boneyarders who said they understand Ms. Walker is likely to go to ND. And NDH says "Ha, ha, that's a laugh. Fat chance she's coming here!"

Yeah, I think I'll take that interpretation.
 
...The trip from VA to CT is a straight shot up I-95 and not a really far drive.
Va to Storrs may be a "straight shot" directions-wise but it can be one miserable drive in traffic with D,C, Baltimore, Philly, and NYC. I spent 5 hours alone navigating around D.C. last year. And 95 from Greenwich to New Haven is no picnic either.
 
So Lauren Cox and family knew she would not attend UConn but took the trip to UConn at UConn expenses. This is all legal but is it ethical?
Yes. School can give 5 free visits to recruits and if Geno wanted to sign 3, he may have given one to Lauren in the hopes the trip would change her mind. Happens all the time and is part of the recruiting game. I don't blame the kid one bit for taking advantage of all her official visits. So, yes, perfectly ethical and nothing wrong with Lauren taking the trip, even if she thought she wouldn't attend UConn.

Now that people have proof positive that recruits and players at least know what's going on here, if they aren't actually reading the board, could they please stop name-calling and trashing student-athletes, whether they're a UConn player or not? (not this thread - this is a general statement)
 
So was Megan Walker at the ND game? No was confirmed whether she was actually there or not...

Was going to ask the same question. Could it be what Megan was laughing at-that she was not at the UCONN Vs. ND game?
Megan did tweet this game promotion which includes #BleedBlue.

Isn't Ms.Collier moseying on up from Texas today as well?Or do Texans just sashay on up with their thumbs in their belt? At any rate that is a dynamic duo that could take the court right now and perform quite well.

Sorry to be a sourpuss, but in Saturday's game, it was Notre Dame who was wearing blue.

Not that it is a huge point but I am pretty sure that the school can give as many Official Visits as it wants. However, the recruit is limited to taking a maximum of 5 Official Visits to either DI or DII schools. Recruits may take as many Official Visits as they want to DIII and NAIA schools but may only take 1 visit per school.

You could have just stopped at the comma. :mad:

Ah, my bad.
 
I feel she is a Uconn lean only because the type of player she is fits Uconn style not only to mention she and Daingerfield would be an awesome backcourt add in AEH. Uconn is always on TV for the big games and I'm sure she realize even if she goes to ND "Uconn has an 99% of winning the NC every year and won the last 4 but hey its her choice

It's not always about just basketball. Megan is choosing her college, not just a bball program.

UCONN has won the last 3 not 4. 99% is a pretty high estimate. 10 Championships since 1995 would be 50% .

Not all kids go to a school to win a championship. If so, they would all come to House of Geno. Some want an education for free; some want to play in a system that allows them to 'run fast/jump high' and prepare for professional BB; some want to be close to home to be with mommy and/or daddy; some just want to play (not be pushed) and have fun.

Uconn won the last 4 against ND matter of fact they won 5 and I said 99 % because we make the tournament every year and with Geno and our experience every year it's expected of us to win

Not players who are # 1 they want the top schools and I believe top players do wants a NC I mean if your a player and go to a school like a mid or low college you pretty much know your not going to win an NC in woman's basketball

Even if she's made her decision, who's to say she wouldn't change it were she blown away. You really gonna knock a kid for checking out an option? End of the day, it's UCONN's choice to extend an invite anyway. Zero ethical issues here.
 
So was Megan Walker at the ND game? No was confirmed whether she was actually there or not...
Monacan (North Chesterfield, VA) girls' basketball had a game Fri. evening versus Hanover High (scroll School Calendar). UConn/ND was Sat. afternoon. Monacan had another game Mon. afternoon versus Dinwiddie High.

Therein lies your answer.

Would note for the record that UConn plays MD at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 28 during Monacan's winter break. Both universities are on Ms. Walker's top 7 list announced Nov. 11.

For those suggesting she's already decided and about to announce, would advise against bated breath.
 
So over the bated breath thing over recruits. I'm with Geno ... bated breath recruit = find another.
