UT has been her "dream" school for years. UT has the banners that we Cardinal fans feel will be in our future. And UT has developed a number of good post players while Jeff's best players have been guards. I can't blame her for making the decision that she made. We'll still have a great team.<br /><br />See you at the Yum! tonight.

The support for these conclusions lies in the following facts: AM's ranking is WAY below the ranking of the other players that Walz is after; the other schools that AM had offers from are WAY below Louisville's caliber; and Walz does NOT need another guard.<br />I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with what Walz did, and, even though I think the timing of the two verbals was coordinated, I don't think that Walz "got played." To the contrary, I'm sure that Walz took into account all permutations of possible decisions by MR and AM and coordinated timing by them, and he decided that it was worth the risk to try to get MR. <br />I also disagree that Walz will go out of his way to make life miserable for AM, but, after a year on the bench and no prospects for playing time in the future, AM may well decide that she wants to go somewhere else to play. In the meantime, for her first year out of high school, she will have "earned" the equivalent of about $50,000 after taxes. I don't see any victims in this story, just rational decision making by all parties involved.<br />--PDX Phil<br />--PDX PhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-42797406199523145782012-10-31T15:13:25.524-04:002012-10-31T15:13:25.524-04:00I must be the only one here that is not Nostradamu...I must be the only one here that is not Nostradamus.

My best friend and I went to different colleges. It happens. And what if Alexis Montgomery turns out to be one of the best guards in the history of the program? Where's that theory now? <br /><br />My guess is that Coach Walz is disappointed in losing a highly ranked recruit he spent a lot of time and effort on...but he will get others down the road and will take this current team on to great things this year. Thank the man for his efforts and attempts. It's a measure of how far this program has come in the last several years. <br /><br />PaulieCardinal Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565155435705858363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-11182672856159881362012-10-31T12:15:50.525-04:002012-10-31T12:15:50.525-04:00So lets call this what it is bcoz montgomery went ...So lets call this what it is bcoz montgomery went first she may have already knew that russell was tn bound and it was nice of russell to get her friend a scholarship offer. dont think for a moment these girls dont plan stuff out. i would think walz is steaming mad right about now. the man got played. <br /><br />cardinaltruinthe502Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-90699009123898238262012-10-31T10:55:26.417-04:002012-10-31T10:55:26.417-04:00We will survive.
