Most of those aren't open to public scrutiny...............twitter still seems to be a preffered method of communication between recruits and coaches

If UConn fails to get Walker, hopefully they can get "ONO". An ONO commitment to UConn in 2018 imo, would balance the scales. Judging from the reports I've read from scouting and rating services, as well as from posters that are familiar with ONO, she can ball! I believe in fate. Everyone will go where they are supposed to go. If memory serves, I believe I read somewhere that she is interested in coming to UConn. :cool:

She has shown very little interest as it relates to her college decision.................while many around her had multiple in-home meetings this fall, as far as I know she did none...................from a social media standpoint most of her communication involves congratulations to other recruits on making their college choices and happy birthdays...............actually quite refreshing!!!!

Still would like and Oh Yes from ONO.
 
that MW is so sneaky.........she has retweeted a WNBA sponsored interview with 20@20 nominees Sue Bird and Tina Thompson (on UT staff)

Who knows, maybe she is the prototypical UConn recruit..................says virtually nothing about her favorite 10 schools and simply signs with Geno when the time is right.................

To be honest im tired of Walkers charades as well. She seems to really be about herself. At least Skylar waited until college to talk about her brand. This girl is doing it all ready and even starting her own clothing line. Even her twitter handle I ball Crazy seems like she is kind of high and mighty. The way she has played teams and led them on with the comments and posting pics and following their players. When you think she is leaning one way she throws pics and tweets about another team . Not sure iv ever seen anyone play mind games and milk the attention like she does. I think id rather have Westbrook. Im concerned if she is use to having her way and she comes to N.D. and finds out she might have more competition then she thought and splits time she might not buy into the team concept and cause problems because shes not getting more minutes. Her dad could end up being a issue as well. Im sure he has a lot invested in her being a success .

Walker --is 17, 18 years old--some think because at 18 you can vote you are adult--legally yes--medically not so much.
So --if you don't like the MIND GAMES--don't play the game!. If you don't like that she is "all about herself" there are other thread so tread.
Here my personal take---a kid who thinks of starting her own clothing line--is ambitious, smart and very naive unless she has people in the business to help her. But being naive isn't about age--it's about accepting-maybe thinking you are very very good because thousands have told you so--including 20 or more of the top WBB coaches in the world. That would turn MY head.

I have raised more than my fair share of teen girls--they come in all sizes and all emotional/professional attitudes. I like kids that think outside their current situation--have ambition--and kids should think--their limitation is that which is in their own heads.

Until Dad actually becomes a problem--many on the Boneyard think of him as being very supportive and have seen others take a similar approach to the schools their kids may be going.

No argument intended--no slam at ND--no personal attack--MY OPINION..
 
Don't turn this process into a spy novel. MW is a level-headed basketball prodigy. Smart, talented, articulate and attractive...her future is not limited to basketball; but, her near future might be. She's got the basketball world at her fingertips, and that gives her the leverage to connect her passions, business and sports. If may be that her decision involves the construction of the team around her, but she's really able to call the shots, and indulge her aspirations without compromise. If she wants to be near ESPN and/or New York fashion centers, she can come to UConn. If she wants to play for tradition, the best coaches, and players...same deal. But, if she places the greatest value on cowboys and/or a Catholic education, not so much. Tie-breaking criterion: Connecticut isn't Indiana. Amen !!

Geno said he doesnt see a transcendant player like Stewie coming to or in the college ranks. She is top ranked and these 3 teams want her but she isnt a Stewie, Griner, Parker, Moore, Taurasi or a Holdsclaw. 6 players 15 NCs and 9 for Connecticut. Only 1 for Mulkey, 5 for Summit(miss you Pat) and 9 for Geno. Where should MW go? Uconn has Geno and they dont.

I guess so, but Phil Jackson had Jordan, Kobe etc. Without superstars Phil Jackson might be as unknown as LaToya and Tito.

ND always had a top notch coach, and she sure worked hard trying to bring top players to her program. She won the lottery with Diggins, no doubt. But the reason they are where they are now is they were the only team to beat UCONN...on a consistent basis. I do not think that is due to Diggins, but more attributed to Muffet and her will not to be intimidated by Geno and Co. With the wins against UCONN, why wouldn't other top 10 recruits want a chance at that too? Especially with captain Muff at the helm.

Btw, I'm totally 110% Husky fan but I do have to respect what ND has done in the last 5 years. Hey, I believe another famous coach was doing the same kind of thing 20 years ago...:p
Expand ...

I have a couple of issues in what you say--knowing full well you are a Uconn fan, as am I. Muffet is/was one of the top 2 WCBB coaches in the country--guess who the other is? The Courant during a short period said Muffet has Geno's number--pure and simple BS.
Muffet for some short periods had better players and some top scorers that Uconn didn't have during those times--it NEVER was consistently beat by ND.
Geno and Muffet knew each others game better than an other coach. Muffet eventually mirrored the UConn system, but the defense was never as good. If anyone thinks Muffet isn't intensely smart--think again. Muffet has been a good recruiter of scorers--Uconn and ND has gone head to head on may top recruits--Muffet has gotten her share--Geno seems to get the better--or maybe he teaches them better

About another poster on this thread---McBride scored against UConn because when she is healthy --she will find methods to score--she is that good. Maybe for a play or so Diggins distracted defense from McBride but for the most part McBride only needed a tenth of a second opening to score---I hated/loved McBride--she is an amazing scorer--I'm not sure of how good an all around BB player she is--I've been too busy watching her score. Although I must say--Moriah--undersized and underweight held McBrides scoring to a minimum until it was no longer a factor.

Geno can engage in double talk about coaching. He'll say he's an average coach with great players and then he'll say other things. I went looking for Geno on coaching and find one that has Geno and Dawn Staley in a short video and also a fair to middlin' article from Voepel. Check it out:
Auriemma, Staley renew rivalry in 1-2 showdown

I see this as a digression. :D

Question: Would it be an NCAA violation for an athlete to accept royalties from a T-shirt company? Would it matter if the athlete owned all or part of the company?

This is NOT the standard position or belief about Geno. He blows a lot of smoke for a lot of reasons. He enjoys telling top players how bad they are--apparently thinks this is motivation. In terms of personal beliefs, public announcements, and some attitudes--he is far from perfect. HOWEVER--he has something others don't seem to possess--when I find out what it is--I'll keep it a secret and sell it on the internet--look for it coming soon.
 
Could it be that Ms. Walker intends to accept her scholarship in person? Like at First Night, perhaps?
 
Have we heard of any recruits that might be attending first night as of yet

Here is an article from 2015 where an LSU running back's family set up an online clothing store. The article "implies" that the NCAA was not cool with it. So my guess is that it would be an NCAA violation.

Good article. Didn't one big time NFL quarterback get investigated on an accusation of selling his signature at signing parties or the like? NCAA delayed decision until after he lead his team in a big bowl game I think. It wasn't "Johnny Football".

Ding ding ding ding. You are correct sir. :D
 
Well, one thing is for sure. Megan knows that there are thousands of anxious basketball fans monitoring her Twitter account. She's been very careful not to give the slightest hint as to which way she''s leaning.
She playing this hand "close to the vest". :rolleyes:

Sounds more like dating advice than a thought process about selecting a University. In my youth, your gut and your heart meant the same thing pretty much-so there is that. I see no prophet in attempting to divine anything from the tweets of anyone, but do respect their entertainment value to some.

Honestly thats a darn shame. I dont know anything about this Walker kid... other than she is from VA an she isnt coming to Duke. I poked my head into the thread to see why it was always on the top of the page and why it had so many replies.

This thread will be a lot less popular in a few days as the season officially begins. It will become buried by the daily horde updates which will commence with the start of the season.

Maybe, but my guess is thread isn't going anywhere until the,"Walker commits...." news breaks. IMO this will be much bigger news than, "Kia shows up in torn jeans" or "UCONN beats Pace University 127-12 in exhibition game", and the heightened anticipation will continue until it happens.
