Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4086234, member: 8636"] What does NIL stand for? Does it stand for #1 HS player in the country as a SOPHOMORE? Does it stand for Team USA participation and excellence? How about the prestigious invitation to Steph Curry's skills camp and subsequent, well... even you may know what happened there. Anyone who has ever played sports or even coached sports knows that players are different. Think about how the star on your team is different from you. (Maybe it was even you. It wasn't me, but I got close enough to know and feel what being "really good" looks like) You know it when you see it. Maybe it's the 3 handicapper on the golf course that you keep getting matched with in the draw and you whack it around with him/her for a few holes and the experience ends up grinding you down to pulp. That musician you play with that can just hit the notes. You're technically good but that's not the same thing. 2 years in a row you got an iconic player. Stop the silly stodginess and enjoy the show. BTW I would love to know more about DT's freshman year. I know she started off as first sub. She had some decent games and she stunk up the joint in the final game against ND. Would Geno had done it differently if he had to do it over again? Should he have started her from day 1? Maybe the best training or grooming a freshman can get is to be thrown out there with seasoned, veteran players. [/QUOTE]
