Message: [QUOTE="Gamecockfan77, post: 3137387, member: 6414"] We discussed Kelsey Bone, because you claimed that Wilson and Coates are not good comps for Boston having a successful freshman season (which I think almost all SC fans actually would define as something short of matching those numbers), because they are from South Carolina and derived some heretofore unknown benefit from attending Dawn Staley summer camp that could not possibly apply to an out of state recruit like Boston. Kelsey Bone is an example of a player with similar size and athleticism to Boston, who was rated similarly to Boston, who came to South Carolina and played under Staley at a relatively high level despite clearly not seeing eye to eye with Staley (subsequent transfer) or having any local or repeated exposure to the program as a recruit. You them came up with an explanation for why Kelsey Bone didn't count either -- in this case, because South Carolina had a mediocre record during her freshman season, she got a lot of playing time, and she subsequently transferred. None of which is particularly relevant to anything since your central point was that a freshman would inherently struggle against the rugged SEC front lines (ha) and Bone clearly did not. Then you started claiming that South Carolina fans were unreasonably asserting that all the freshmen would be superstars and that the South Carolina team was going to be a sure fire elite team next season. Which of course, no one ever claimed. Quite the opposite was said, as you know. [/QUOTE]
