Yes, this is what leads up to Marcellus telling Horation about the state of things in Denmark, To wit: - Nyah Green was so enamored with Louisville, she and her dad paid their own way for an unofficial very early in the process and it led to the McDonald's All-American guard committing to Louisville. - Then, when she was a freshman, just weeks before the season, she was named as one of the top newcomers to the ACC. Consider it a surprise then when she and fellow frosh Ramani Parker were both redshirted. Here's what the Louisville Courier Journal says about what happened: '“They’ve both done extremely well, but we had a lot of unforeseen circumstances that came about since their signing,” (Coach Jeff) Walz said. The additions and immediate eligibility of Elizabeth Dixon and Elizabeth Balogun — both transfers from Georgia Tech — as well as the return of Yacine Diop for a sixth year, made playing time a premium for this season’s Cardinals." So, what happened during that year off and now? Well, the usual: a transfer (Ahlanna Smith) and one international guard (Mesissah Russell) fighting for minutes behind Balogun and that other freshman guard, one Hailey Van Lith. And when she looked ahead next year -- even with Dana Evans graduating -- things weren't opening up with Payton Verhulst joining the fray. One thing that has changed is the way this is being presented: Well, the spin has now gone to Green choosing to take a red shirt." Green, a 6-foot-1 guard, redshirted last season because she was concerned about not getting enough playing time," writes Ms. Voepal. Hmm, good spin but she was a McDonald's All-American (plus what Walz said a year earlier). We've seen these developments at many universities and given injuries, transfers, etc., strange happenings take place. But it always seems to be a constnat churn in Lousiville with a shiny prospect or transfer catching Jeff's eye. And those not in it will find other homes, but the journey isn't one that's recommended. I'd tell Raoul and Horatio it might be normalized, but it still smells a bit rotten. Here's a bit of a trail from Raoul's post. [MEDIA=twitter]1338992460127735808[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
