go to Twitter

I tried - couldn't find the specific tweet. I was wondering if Tennessee was on her long list.

Coco, no coach in the NCAA practices what you're suggesting. Aurieamma does not.

Geno absolutely does practice this-loyalty. The most recent example is with the recruitment of Horvath-The Australian wing. Although Horvath is a very talented wing the staff announced in the past few weeks that they were no longer pursuing her.

Why was he pursuing her in the first place? That doesn't demonstrate loyalty, that indicates that they probably discovered that she is not interested in playing in the US. Continuing to pursue a player a half a world away who doesn't make it clear that she is really interested would cause me to stop pursuing her also.

In case that was not a rhetorical question the answer is Horvath was brought to Geno attention via Penny Taylor. The staff evaluated her like any other player and decided not to pursue. JW would have probably sent her an offer via Fed Ex- overnight.

Send her to Baylor. Kim can coach her up.

My question was, how was not pursuing her a demonstration of loyalty if they stopped pursuing her based on her level of talent? If she had been a better player they would have continued to pursue her, thus throwing loyalty out the window?

I would think Baylor would have an inside track via that other Aussie playing there.

There is no way to answer your question because I do not know on what basis the staff decided to stop pursuing. Talent, and her not willing to come to US would be guesses on both our parts.

It would be nice if that opened up a pipeline of Aussie players. They seems to be very fundamentally strong players.

The correct answer to support you previous assertions would be that they stopped recruiting her because they decided that it was not showing loyalty to the current players and they decided that it would be recruiting over the players that Geno has already made a commitment to. That is the only way that discontinuing the recruitment of the player was a demonstration of loyalty, as you claimed.

GO USA...bring on the Spain thread!

OK I go with that. Love it when you answer your own question. Thanks!

The running joke-just in case you you didn't get it, is that you can hardly find a top 20 Player in classes 2016-2019 THAT DOES NOT have a Louisville offer.

Thanks. I kinda got the joke/criticism. I didn't know 'public domain' equates to the 'truth'. Good to know, though.

It isn't just offers, really. The amount of names associated with Louisville interest is staggering.

If Kim was that good then IMHO Baylor should have won more than 1 NC with Griner. To lose to Louisville and beat Uconn by single digits without Stewie scoring and playing 7 minutes. Uconn by 33 in NC. All that talent this past year and got beat by Oregon State. She schedules her OOC based on her opinion of her team.She is a great recruiter. I will give her that but coaching players up. I dont think so! I bet she doesnt want The Big 12 to add Connecticut because they would have trouble winning a Conference Title every year. JMHO.

Charli was visiting ND or ND stopped by her home recently according to Twitter

 

[meyers7]

Not everyone. He didn't offer my daughter

My daughter is a nifty shooting high school guard and she has NOT gotten one...yet

My daughter is 24, no more eligibility, doesn't play basketball, but she got an offer from Louisville a couple weeks ago.

Sounds to me like JW could cure cancer and you would not like him for not curing diabetes, also.

Well if you're going to sure diabetes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Collier has a pretty good list if you ask me...........Most of the in-state schools and most of the power houses. To me she's just listing her Current Shopping List.

Now the List will not get serious until she list a Top 5. Which may or may not include our beloved Huskies. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

You are most likely right but every once in a while a recruit just gets that special feeling for a certain coach/school and takes the dive right in the middle of the process....................

 

[HGN]

You may be right and its anybody's guess. But I am guessing it will take her and a couple more Top 20 recruits at those schools to bring about a Elite 8. Though UCLA is getting better fast.

I agree with that.....And there's no better place to dive right in the middle of than in a sea of NC Trophies. And she can find those in Storrs.

 

[cbraarj]

Why should Louisville not be listed?

It would be easier to list players they are not recruiting,lol.

 

[BroadwayVa]

I'm really attempting not to be sacriligious but I can't help but request that the next time Charli communicates with God, family, friends and coaches they all try to be a bit more specific

Charlie --What you forgot is : GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAY!!! Just when you think HE said Texas---HE sends her to Uconn..
