Oh good! Now about that banner

Need to worry about your Coach. I think she has become unhinged.

 

[GarnetGhost]

All in good fun. Good luck the rest of the season except..... well you know.

MSST can't defend inside. Carter is the weakest 6'5 post player in the country defensively. She might as well be 5'5. Guards know they can go right at her time after time and she can't do anything about it. Cooks seems lazy. Plus, they are a terrible rebounding team.

With as much talent as she has on this team, it's clear Nikki is in the bottom half of the league in.coaching talent.

Corso_"NOT SO FAST" She's been a thorn is our ass.

Well, I wear sapphires and rubies but don't feel the need to broadcast it.

Wait...wut? CD...are you conflicted?

Go get 'em Lucy!

Ya got me a little stirred up. Friendly trolling is welcome, imo. We'll settle this later this season. Good luck until...

I'm a SC fan but I don't care for that guy's comment one bit. It was unnecessary. Mighty pitiful to try & tell fans how to act & think on their own forum. Trust, not all SC fans act that way.

It's a public forum. Decorum is expected. I appreciate you expression thusly.
..I have a naked love of what Dawn is doing down there...

That's what games like last night will do to a guy. Don't know up from down!

Excuse me while I go fix a pink daiquiri and change my tutu.

Smart girl. She will need all the help she can get with Ducharme and Fudd coming in next year and likely ahead of her on the depth chart, so the opportunity to get used to the UConn system will help her with playing time next year.

I didn't think it bad to say I wish the Vols would be more of a rivalry game when it's been us and MSU for way too long. This is after all a sub forum devoted to the discussion of other teams.

when Dawn lost to NC State she was using word that didnt even exist...someone jog my memory what made up word did she use in the press conference?

Personally I think she might be ahead of Ducharme. Their games are so much alike. She's been out of the limelight because of flexor surgery and ESPN typically drops players who have to take a break from playing. Fudd being an exception.

Wow...she is pretty much a Top 10 recruit (ESPN is the outlier) available for February and March. Damn, if she can get up to speed and contribute, she could be their missing piece, a tall long range shooter. Sigh.....the rich get richer.

She's not gonna be doing anything this year except getting to learn the system and practicing with the team...that's my guess. Same as the girl who just joined at MSST. It gives them the leg-up against the other incoming freshmen, and they will still have 4 full years to play along with the 1 semester of "orientation".

I don't know what Geno is expecting, but the fans are hyped she might be the solution to our long range shooting woes. As a team they are shooting 34% and that includes Paige at 11/22.

It's hard enough for an incoming freshman to come in over the summer and have 6 solid months of practice before the season starts. The chances of her coming in, picking up the UConn system while the season is going on around her, and being able to become a rotation player is slim/none IMO.

close it was "un-tame-able"??

I need to show little sis some love Teonni the season has not started yet in NC just practice, She is a weapon on both ends of the floor. Watch Video "Teonni Key's highlights Cardinal Gibbons High School"

Top players have a chance. She is considered Top ten in most sites. But you are certainly correct about the odds not being good. But possible.

UCLA has a player who just did this and she has been playing a lot. They are very short handed due to injuries and two Aussies not being able to get over here though.

I think that's an unusual situation with the shortage of players.. UConn has their fair share of wings that have been with the program since the season started, so it seems unlikely that Saylor would be able to pick things up so quickly that she would leap over some of the other players.

True and Geno's read and react offense is tough to get. But she has a couple of edges in that she has a very high basketball IQ in that her parents are coaches and she brings a unique skill set that is in short supply at UConn right now. She can jump over the bottom 4 or 5 players pretty quickly and be a 7 in the typical rotation. It may come down to if she can get her defensive jobs tight enough.
