ESPN announcement for Jones?

[Charliebball]

Would love to see her at Stanford personally. Tara would have a real shot at a title with 3 years of Brink/Jones playing together. If she chooses UCONN, Huskies are likely back in a stratosphere that no one else can compete with for a while.

yes it would really suck if Jones chose the Huskies and UConn was unbeatable again................can't imagine anybody on the BY would want that to happen..................NOT!!!!

Anybody here besides me disappointed that Jones deferred her reveal until Monday?

Not if, as some of us have speculated, she’s coordinating with Boston so they both announce they’re coming to Storrs within minutes of one another.

Hadn't heard of that before. Googled some images, close but I think this thing has more pronounced ears and whiskers and longer snout.

You’re right. It’s not an olinguito. I think it’s a binturon, also known as a bearcat. It’s native to SE Asia.

If that in fact is the reason for the postponement, I don’t consider that a problem at all. I will be one of the happiest posters in the yard if we get them both.

I believe in Dorf. Boston and Jones will committ to UConn.

Boston is a lock

Dorf, I’ve been saying that for a year, but it’s a measure of just how much stock I put in your prognostications that I feel infinitely better after reading your comment.

If Boston and Jones commit,will there be a dorfsterite club we can join? There certainly should be one if Buecker and Fudd end up at Uconn.

Jones obviously has deferred her career-defining announcement until Monday because she knows it will be BAD FOR WOMEN'S BB.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Wait! Haley just announced that her decision will be coming from the Virgin Islands!

Just kidding.

On a serious note, let's try to be patient and on our best behavior until next week. We have an exhibition game on Thursday and a real game on Saturday to focus on. Think about Crystal and Aliyah working the pick and roll and Haley and Megan crashing the boards.

If Jones, Boston, Fudd, and Bueckers end up at UConn, I will buy Dorf season tickets!

If that crew all ends up at UConn, I will nominate Dorf for the inaugural “Boneyarder of the Year Award.”

I am ashamed of you---a recruit hungry nation of fans salivating and you draw THAT picture?? Shame.

Cheap skate! Just ONE season tickets. I believe there are some that would buy 1/4th of another practice center if that proved to be true. Certainly not me; however I'd go for a door knob.

Aren't Fudd and Bueckers a bit young to be trying to make a prediction that they will come to UConn? I mean 2-3 years is an eternity in a teenager's life, and so much will change for them in that time. I'm skeptical of Dorf's prediction on that one.

No.

Never doubt the Dorf...

It's probably wishful thinking on my part, but Jones doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would have visited Oregon last weekend if she were absolutely certain about going to either Stanford or UCONN (or South Carolina). So things may be a bit more fluid than most folks seems to assume.

I suspect alien technology is being used.

I think that Jones is an extremely intelligent and respectful young lady who made a commitment to visit Oregon, and subsequently kept her commitment. According to the article in the Oregonian today, there is not a lot of confidence in Oregon that Jones will end up in Eugene, except when UConn shows up to play there, as they predict that she ends up in Storrs.

Dorf is an occasional poster here who seems to have some real knowledge on things of interest. You can search his posts. He predicted we would miss out on Horston, but get Jones, Boston, Bueckers, and Fudd (the U-17 starting 5). No one can absolutely predict the choices of teenage girls, but he's doing very well so far. I have my fingers crossed for next week.

I hope like anything that Dorf is spot on with his/her predictions, ... but when you say "he's [she's| doing very well so far"... he/she got ONE right... sure that's 1 for 1... not sure that translates into "doing very well"... again, I hope like all get out that he/she is truely on the money... but??

So did you actually read the article? I admit have not seen it, but I really like the assessment.

I doubt Geno would pose for this kind of photo opp (click on top left photo):

Disappointed but hardly discouraged. Like Liv(e) the later the better.
