( CARDINAL COUPLE COLUMNIST Jenny O' Bryan fills us in on women's basketball recruiting and volleyball. Talented prospects are coming for visits soon!)
Several weeks ago in an entry about the recruiting process in basketball I spoke of official visits. To reiterate, a prospective student athlete can take up to 5 official visits beginning in the fall of their senior year. The school that is being visited pays for an official visit.
The time is fast approaching
for the class of 2013 to start planning and setting dates for their official
visits. Just this week, one such visit
involving Louisville Women’s Basketball was announced.
Top-notch coaches are at both
Penn State and Michigan. Coquese
Washington is at the helm at Penn State and just signed a long-term deal this
past spring with Penn State. I am a HUGE fan
of Kim Barnes-Arico (formerly of St. John’s) who just this past spring accepted
the coaching job at Michigan. Rest
assured both coaches have a lot to offer a recruit. I like our chances here. Of course, one never knows what the recruit
is looking for in a school. Nonetheless,
I like our chances.
Harris has set her visits
with Penn State (9/1), Michigan (9/8) and Louisville (9/15). Keep it here folks, we will let you know what
we know, when we know it.

You gotta like that picture, Paul, of Russell in Louisville gear. Looks good on her.
ReplyDeleteHoping to see her in it for four years, starting in 2013.

With Harris, I think it may depend on whether or not she wants to stick close to home or not. If she is looking for some distance from home, Louisville is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteJust for your information Jenny. Penn and Penn State are two different schools. Penn is the University of Pennsylvania and plays in the Ivy League. Penn State is Pennsylvania State University and is the one recently in the news with the child molestation scandals. They are a Big 10 school.
ReplyDeleteI'd have to fire Paul for missing my typo, but, with this volunteer writing gig I do, he is MY boss. Thanks for catching it, and I have corrected my errors. Penn State is the correct University on her list.
ReplyDeleteYea fire Paul. That would put us all in a fine mess.
ReplyDeleteMaybe instead we could run an experiment whete Sonja could participate in the new show where all the women leave town for a week and let the guys handle the chores.
Come back to the site in a week and see what the article topics become. Maybe we would see some laundry hints like using some handy seltzer water to the stains that Timmy caused when he spilt his banana pudding on the couch seat.

Wow. Leave the site unattended for a few hours and it's Mutiny on the Bounty. I'll jump on the bandwagon and agree, though. Time to fire Paul and turn the site over to Timmy, Jenny, Sonja and Sandy. I'll check in with a cheeseburger update once a week.

No don't fire Paul - promote him by letting Sonja take off on week long vacation while he tends to her chores which includes the cardinal couple site like on the show. Leaving also for the week would be the female contributing writers.
DeleteI wonder if coco would use Paul's toothbrush on Timmy like the teenagers did by using the marine's tooth brush on the dog which he then used for himself.
