Duke would be my wild guess. Maybe Louisville. Maybe Maryland.

Would love to see Duke pull in another great recruiting class to contend with UNC. It is such a fun rivalry.

Duke is my number 2 team behind UCONN.
I love Coach Joanne Palombo-McCallie. Loved her at UMAINE and MSU.
The accusations toward MM were made in the Davis de-commitment frenzy. The Summitt was coming from a UT-centric perspective and couldn't grasp that everything and anything happening wasn't in context of them. MM was indeed there to observe Nelson, who they had been recruiting for awhile. Not sure how good ND's chances are of landing Davis. An offer likely wasn't even made till after Reimer committed. Greenwell didn't get her off till then either. Both Reimer and Nelson are supposedly close with Davis. Not sure if that will help or not. Certainly hope they are as encouraging as possible. UNC's '13 recruits out rank ND's, but I'm way more confident that MM is going to get more out of them than SH. Davis would definitely make it interesting.

long story but go to page 4. That's where the story talks about Tenn allegedly using questionable ethics in enticing players to transfer to Tenn.

I hope so.... and we all know the best place for her to accomplish that feat on a annual basis
If you are ever in the Triad area of NC..... a Lexington Style BBQ sandwich.. some crinkled fries.... and a nice tall cold bottle of Cheerwine will be my treat.

Well, now that certainly provides a different picture from the pure as driven snow stuff we keep hearing. And one of Geno's Olympic assistants is also alleging some Pat Head improprieties in the story.

Right?! The woman supposedly responsible for the popularity of women's basketball may not be so perfect after all. Geno never had such accusations aimed at him by so many people like we read in THAT article. And for as big of a monster as he supposedly is, his wife somehow managed to stay married to the guy.

Things that make you go hmmmm
I remember rumors that PS may have had some improper contact with M. Marciniak when she was at ND. Not that it matters much, because from all accounts MM would have helped pack up Marciniak's dorm room and dropped her off at UT herself just to get rid of her. Called it the worse year of her life.

I hope that I'm off base here, but if you're insinuating that PHS is a bad person because she and her husband divorced, you need to get a life.
I may be reading into your comment too much. Perhaps I'm a little too sensitive. If that is what you were doing, you should probably know the whole story. Open your inbox and I will pm you.

What she WAS more than insinuating was that despite the notions of some, Geno isn't the Monster "some" have made him out to be... as supporting evidence she references his healthy family life and "suggests" that if he was the monster that "some" have suggested he was, then his wife would have booted him long ago...
His marriage is also evidence that Geno chose wisely when he picked his mate... Some would say his wife also chose wisely given the healthy relationships Geno has with his wife and children...

Tenn, look at the link in Alydar's post. That's what we are commenting about.

I can see where this would head into a bad direction, but getting back to the facts, it's pretty clear that there weas a pattern of ethical breaches by Pat Head back early on her career as the Tennessee coach. I find it somewhat disturbing and self serving for Tennessee fans to conveniently forget that, and continue to villify Geno as if he's actually done something wrong, when it's apparently a fact that Pat was the one with the ethical breaches early in her career.
To my knowledge, there has only been 1 minor recruiting violation ever reported against UCONN, and it was something a staff member did in calling ESPN on behalf of Maya, not even something any of the coaches did. Tennessee has a minor one involving Pat, and one other involving one of the players, if i recall correctly.
So it's a good thing she cleaned up her act, but let's help their fans drop this mistaken notion that she's a saint and has never cheated on the recruiting front... from the article...
Nixon says, "Cindy told me she was going to Tennessee because she wanted the chance to play on a national champion this year. She also said the Vols had offered her a postgraduate scholarship and an assistant coaching position when she was through playing."
The coaching offer is a severe violation of AIAW rules, and by June 1977 the heat Tennessee was getting over the alleged tampering with Brogdon...
Tennessee Tech's coach, Marynell Meadors, was at one time thinking of reporting Head to the E & E Committee for allegedly tampering with one of Tech's players—sophomore Forward Pam Chambers, who has a 16-point scoring average this year and leads the Golden Eaglettes in steals and assists. Says Meadors, "I learned during last year's regional and national tournaments that Pat was trying to recruit Chambers..."
This is some really serious stuff, and it's not just ONE isolated incident. it's obviously a pattern of vioations of the rules, and they are NOT minor violations. I swear, if i ever read of another Tennessee fan accusing Geno of cheating or doing ANYTHING unethical, well, I probably won't do anything. But i will at least know they obviously have no clue what they area talking about.
