One can understand being disappointed with recruiting losses but the sour grapes laden "they only chose school A,B or C because they out spent Tennessee" is lame, wrong and delusional. I've followed college recruiting for a longtime. No sport generates the worst in fan bases than losing a WBB...

Prospect Nation does it much better than ESPN. 247 sports also. Women's recruiting rankings have some wild spreads anyway but ESPN swings and misses badly often. Like with the long forgotten Tori McCoy.

Aesop had these threads in mind when he penned The Fox and The Grapes. Jaci went to the school that she preferred. She gave some very well articulated reasons why that didn't even broach the gulf academically between ND and the runner ups. It also probably didn't hurt that they had something...

Never fall for this one. Kids and their handlers are savvy about hiding the trail on social media. In the "old days" kids would try to throw the media off the scent by showing up in the school they weren't picking gear. This one had been done way back in April. ON3 did a great job of milking...

South Carolina is still elite. Just not 40-0 elite. And teams that have bigs and athletic guards are going to give them a run. The issues raised by UCLA aren't gone. Also. NCAA. Stop with the early reveals. Just looks stupid with 4+ conferences games to play. Not to mention something like UCONN...

UCONN making a mockery of the SEC dominance narrative. Their defense has South Carolina totally flustered. Might be good for the Gamecocks in the long run.

Breanna Stewart and Rebecca Lobo were both quoted that Notre Dame wasn't afraid of UCONN. They weren't intimidated by the name on the jersey which happened a lot in WBB the early and middle 2000's. Tennessee Lady Vols are not afraid of South Carolina. I don't know if they'll win. But they...

It was a wide open shot that she absolutely should have taken. In fact her only fault was hesitating and not giving more time for a possible offensive rebound. I mean Cardosa knew that an open shot doesn't give a rat's rear what your percentage is when it's there in the excruciating loss to...

People keep referring to the NCAA like its some separate entity from the schools. It's literally the schools themselves. it's rules got in the way of maximizing money for the football powers. They wanted a money laundering distributer like the NCAA basketball tournaments is. No complaints there...

She wasn't competing against 4 other players for shots (and attention) at DePaul. I don't believe in addition by subtraction. The whole concept is asinine. I do believe that LSU will have better chemistry and results with Morrow, Williams and Johnson taking a larger part of their offense...

That "Fox and the grapes" thing again. It works with players and coaches.

And not a knock at Kim. They got the best coach that they could realistically get. Realistically.

Just read this thread today. The "those grapes were sour anyway" mentality, especially with regard to Lawson, is amusing. She was never going to take the job for a variety of reasons. Duke, with tougher entrance requirements, is on way more of an upswing than the Lady Vols. They've got 5 of...

Women's college preseason rankings are a bit like college football and basketball preseason rankings used to be during the 1970's. Whomever had the most starters and returning lettermen were ranked highest. It's a lot more layered than that. I also believe ND is the squad whose talent exceeds...

If you've ever scrolled the UConn board you'll realize that no prospect actually ever turns them down. It's always the other way around. With rare exceptions. A'Ja Wilson, A. Boston, Haley Jones. Too late for "those grapes were sour anyway" routine. Especially Boston. And of course the Texas...
