Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3738192, member: 6620"] Gosh. I missed this whole hub-bub because: - On Friday, Olivia Miles signed her LOI and ND put out a press package which I was celebrating over on the Bench. I was and am quite excited about both Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron not only because I think they're excellent players, but - in part -- because they're local NJ & NY products I've gotten to see personally. - And on Saturday, after raking round #47 of leaves, I watched the Irish footballers venture up to Chestnut Hill. So, I was whistlin' in the dark when I saw this. - For what it's worth, I think the two schools should keep playing if the respective coaches want to. I've got absolutely no insight into why the game was nixed this year (maybe Niele felt the only way this year's model had a chance was with a full house, but that wasn't happening...I don't know). - Geno seems to respect Niele (he's mentioned hanging with her during AAU tourneys) so no harm, no foul. But as my esteemed colleague, Orangutan, brings up: the regular season has recently been a UConn special while ND has gotten the last two NCAA's. I'll take that anytime. ;) - So, NC has a bright young coach who had a good recruiting year. Duke has a name coach. BC is getting better. Nell Fortner is Nell Fortner and Louisville manages to always find a good mix from all the frosh and transfers coming in. Will they be better on a consistent basis than the Irish? Let's play those games, ok? - BTW, back to that recruiting class, I think Niele is a forward or two away from moving upwards in a very linear fashion. Miles is a force and Sonia Citron is smooth and cerebral (reminds me a bit of Natalie Novosel, another tall Irish guard). So, see you in the regular season in 2022. Or later in the post-season. (I'm just excited about any season starting so I'm not looking at nada half-empty right now. :cool:;)) [/QUOTE]
