Other games 11/24

I keep hearing these comments about Ferreira and Laksa.

Ferreira is a fifth-year senior after missing most of last year with injury. She was a freshman the same year as Kia and Gabby.

Laksa is a traditional senior, in the same class as Lou and Napheesa. I'm hoping she'll seek a medical hardship waiver to play next year, but who knows.

At UCONN maybe?

At UCONN maybe?

I was thinking that! Perhaps she would want to spend her final season competing for a championship. I personally wouldn’t be shocked to see her just go pro, mainly because she is European. Would be very easy for her. If not, I would guess her final season would be spent at USF.

Yes, granted not against the elite of the NCAA Woman's Basketball universe, but that's MSST's 4th - 100+ game in a row, a new school record. With their inside game and now apparently with an outside game to compliment it, MSST is going to be tough this season, again.

Congratulations, you've copied your OOC games after Baylor, look what that's gotten them....

I expect Drake to crack the polls. They were receiving votes and played ND decent and beat South Carolina. Their third P5 win along with victories over Rutgers and Nebraska.

You really want to call Rutgers and Nebraska P5 programs? That's pretty low bar-Nebraska is in complete rebuild mode and Rutgers has been limping along to get CVS her 1,000 win and with that having happened, I hope she retires at the end of the year. Now that all said, I do hope Drake gets ranked.

Kinda interesting that Texas, after losing Lashann Higgs (their best player) to a knee injury in the Quinnipiac game that they barely won, dominated Michigan today. Texas led by 25 at the half and won by 17. Michigan was coming off a dominant win of their own over #21 Missouri.

Audrey Warren, who replaced Higgs in the starting lineup, finished with a career-high 15 points.

Have seen two Texas games this year and they seem to have better guards (i.e. in ability to run an offense and play defense) than in past. Too early to say this will continue but they looked good.

I question what the purpose of this post could be. First, I would suggest that if AEH was still here she would not be averging 13 points a game off the bench. Second, I believe all UConn fans would like to see her still here. Unfortunately, she is not because of something that happened that Geno would not tolerate. From what I have read he gave her chances to correct the problem and she did not do so. So why is Geno the bad guy. And third, to speculate that that affected the decisions of the players Geno was recruiting is silly especially given that the one recruit he got was from her high school.

One last point - it really bothers me when people suggest that Ossinging recruits have been unsuccessful. Chong showed promise as a freshman but had numerous injuries that inhibited her growth as a player and value to the team. As a senior she was a valued started who was drafted and made a WNBA roster. I would not consider that a failed UConn career. Besides a sample of two previous players is hardly a valid sample to draw conclusions.

Would welcome an automatic "AEH Delete Function." Not sure I would suggest taking up Board space rehashing this any more.

Rutgers and Nebraska are P5 teams; that's a factual statement of their conference affiliation. Nebraska was an NCAA tournament team last year; we can't really say they're in "complete rebuild mode" anymore. Beating Nebraska in Lincoln has to be considered an important win.

“Wasn’t a fit” is pretty vague. Could cover a number of reasons.

" Slocum now feels "relief" that she's found her next college destination. She also stresses she did not transfer because her mother is ill ("she is completely healthy") or because she was homesick ("if my ideal school that I liked was across the world, I would go").

Maryland transfer Destiny Slocum finds right 'fit' at Oregon State

The Boneyard has become more of a Woman's College Basketball Forum, now, and not exclusively just UCONN, to which this new diversity, has driven more and more people to this site. This alone, with such "respectful" spirited debates, makes this site that much better. Sensoring this site only to Pro-UCONN posts would simply not be right.

A number of fans "from away" are quite welcome . . . when they show some decent manners. Your earlier post here was provocative, and I think you know it. A simple report that "AEH has 11 points at the half to lead MSST in scoring." would have been informational, but you somehow thought you needed to add a snotty finish: "I guess allot of people on this board don't like hearing that kind of news." You can't really complain, then, or ask for a "respectfull" response, can you?

I don't think my response was disrespectful to anyone on The Boneyard. Just was indicating that some on the BY would not want to hear the news about her scoring in double digits coming off the bench. Now if that rubbed you the wrong way, I'm so sorry.

CVS picked up Maori Davenport next year.
She just missed on R. Jackson.

Sorry, too. A momentary lapse in judgment. I should have gone directly to "Ignore."
