I wish her all the best.

I wish her all the best.

As do I.

Neighbors is a great coach and, if she so chooses, Saylor could learn a lot under his tutelage.

I hope she takes a few more visits and does her due diligence this time around.

….And I thought UConn academics were not “super engaging” enough

 

[HopJim]

Wish her the best for the future, but question the fit at Arkansas. Saylor is a good player but somewhat deliberate on both offense and defense. Not an expert on Arkansas, but in the few times I have seen them play, they play on fire the entire game. Some of the Big 10 teams may be a stronger fit.

Dont know anything about U of Arkansas. Does it have super-engaging academics, active campus life, and the ability to get out and meet a lot of people?

 

[BostonBay]

So, Arkansas is much more of a social mecca and academic powerhouse than UConn?? lol.

 

[JordyG]

Would be a nice get for Neighbors. Hey Saylor, how about giving Duke a looksee?

Fayettville is bigger than Storrs. By a country mile...and I do mean country.

That would be a fit.

Both Duke and North Carolina could be contenders for strong academics on a non-rural campus.

We just played Arkansas a week ago, then 12 hours later Saylor is in the portal, and several days after that on an official visit to Arkansas. Guess these things happen fast in this new world of college sports with its transfer portals and NIL deals.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if Geno let Neighbors know last weekend that Saylor would be entering the portal. He might even have set up a call between the two of them.

No way that happened.

I don’t care how big Fayetteville is, it’s in Arkansas and their number one export and occupation is pig farming. Have you ever been there? Hard pass And all this after her mother’s condescending comments about Connecticut and UConn. JMHO

That depends- is UNC making their kids actually go to classes these days?

You don't have to convince me about Arkansas. For the most part day or night (especially at night) most red states ain't my cup of tea.

Some.

Per the athletic department, classes are for women and men who play country club sports…

 

[Mdoggie]

She has/had back problems. Buyer beware. Back problems can be ongoing and ruin or holt an athletic career.

Honestly, Storrs is close to Hartford, Boston and NYC. Faeytteville is close to...Tulsa? No comparison.

Thus, the reason I'm moving north when I retire, though Columbia is deep blue.

 

[triaddukefan]

A potential of a Poffenberger/Wolfeberger tandem.. that would be unique.

Would be a nice get for Neighbors. Hey Saylor, how about giving Duke a looksee?

I dunno about that.

I emailed JR Payne at Colorado the moment she entered portal. JR went after Anna but of course she was looking to turn pro. If a combo of academics and social life is what she’s looking for, Boulder is frequently listed as best small city (105,000) to live in.
