IMHO of course....The team seems to come up short constantly...I keep hearing about building the program...what Coach Walz is trying to do....etc ...what is it that he's trying to do? I keep hearing about all the recruits 5 star this and that... I feel concentrate on what you have this year and stop going on and on who coming to your program in 2018 or 2019....Same as last year too busy running all these programs ...try staying with your girls back at home Maybe that will work!<br />Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193025591228161550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-36239838147522092202017-08-05T06:56:30.469-04:002017-08-05T06:56:30.469-04:00THE TEAM:

No Myshia...which is disappointing, but she didn't stand out at all in the championship game. I thought Erin Boley would get picked. That's a surprise. I thought Linnae Harper played well enough to get picked. No cigar. I wasn't very impressed with Kalani Brown but she got the nod. WE obviously didn't see all that happened there...though.<br /><br />For those keeping score, I came up with (5) of my 12 picks making the squad. Ogunbowale, Durr, Mitchell, Atkins and Wilson. <br /><br />Paulie<br />xxxxxCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-39934183603368759672017-08-05T06:46:42.754-04:002017-08-05T06:46:42.754-04:00It wasn't your laptop.

Had he ever watched college basketball? He took most of the second quarter off...which was a relief...because he kept botching the players names and misidentifying them. He also created a new coach for Walz...Michael Clark Heard. Never met him. <br /><br />Legalizing marijuana in Colorado is one thing. Having the guy behind the microphone stoned a s Willie Nelson is another... (snark, snark)<br /><br />I was surprised Boley didn't make the team. <br /><br />They didn't show the Bronze medal game...which was a 3X3 contest between Asia's Team 4 and Team 1. Team 4 won 22-9. Asia had 13 of the 22 points...10 for 12 shooting and 3-3 on threes. <br /><br />PAULIE<br />XXXXX Cardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-28839158010947208162017-08-05T00:34:35.474-04:002017-08-05T00:34:35.474-04:00Okay I guess that was important to mention?Okay I guess that was important to mention?Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193025591228161550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-17706727115010908042017-08-05T00:32:32.890-04:002017-08-05T00:32:32.890-04:00Ok thanksOk thanksDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193025591228161550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-74727977649851454382017-08-04T22:41:17.943-04:002017-08-04T22:41:17.943-04:00Off topic.

She had a great drive off a screen and was fouled but she is different. She looks fast. She also has developed into a very attractive young lady.Wadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-24410696279672830962017-08-04T15:49:59.533-04:002017-08-04T15:49:59.533-04:00I would imagine it's just the opportunity to p...I would imagine it's just the opportunity to play against and with some of the best players in at their level in the sport.

The live feed was not good but could have been my laptop. So Mariya's team behind Kelsey Mitchell took the game by 3 though they led by 13 midway through the 4th. Next thing I know my feed went dead and when it came back up it was a 1 point game with 2 minutes left. The game itself kind of stunk. Seeing players playing a game with new teammates didn't make for fun basketball to watch. <br />Myisha had a few nice baskets. A put back and a nice swish from outside. That's all I saw of her since the feed kept repeating or stopping. Btw, the announcer sucked royally. I'm not expecting much but at least be able to say who has the ball immediately. He didn't know all the players.<br />Mercedes Russell I can't see making it in the WNBA. I was way off on her. I predicted she would so good last year she would jump early to the draft. She really is sooo soft and kind of clumsy still. Lannae Harper and Kelsey Mitchell were standouts in the game. Jordin Canada rolled her ankle pretty bad but was up and walking after the game. Tyienna ? Paige from Penn State was having a magnificent camp and fractured her ankle the day before. Hate to see that happen. All in all I won't go out of my way to watch one of these games online again. I'd see it if it was in town though.Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572026878989581315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-47485540002416017882017-08-04T13:04:37.976-04:002017-08-04T13:04:37.976-04:00Would have liked to see her play.
