I think Geno likes the attitudes of Euros. They come to learn. Too many US-born players go to college to "star". He has also stated that Euros are much more fundamentally sound while US players are flashier. He'd rather not have to teach fundamentals.

I suppose she's just happy that she can't fall off the bottom off the planet. Besides, watch an Australian Rules Football game. It makes rugby look like a may pole dance.

Not sure what you actually mean by that. But Rugby is a much, much rougher sport than Australian Rules Football. AFL has not nearly as much tackling, no mauls, no scrums.

Thanks, Rocky! This is one of the deepest dives this guy has ever done. Dad's pushing her to Stanford, I imagine not only for the pseudo-prestige but because it's 6 hrs closer to Australia. But we need to thank this guy: he's a Husky salesman!

Does UCONN have a realistic chance of getting Lara? I read somewhere that her father wanted Lara to go to Stanford.

Well, Rebecca's Mom didn't want her to go to UCONN either and that worked out ok. Wait till Dad meets Geno. It can't hurt that Lara is already on the East Coast.

My bad, saw that and then completely forgot about it. Hey, it ain't the age or the miles, just sooo much to remember. What? It does sound plausible, right?

And she did that in just 20 minutes of playing time.

http://instagram.com/p/C8r9SVwgAyq Dan Connolly's Newsletter fills us in: Agot Makeer, the No. 6 player in the class of 2025. Listed at 6-1, plays at Crestwood Prep — Aaliyah Edwards’ alma mater in Canada.
From ESPN’s Shane Laflin: “Makeer is showing a lot of versatility this season and, despite her thin frame, she is able to affect the game inside and out. The 6-1 wing handles some of the primary ball handling duties at times for Crestwood and has shown the ability to lead the offense and create for others as a facilitator.”

Maybe time to repost this, as UConn may have offers out to more than 2 players in next year's class: click to enlarge ![](//storage.proboards.com/6136932/thumbnailer/etWElRApeBlDezexfyme.png)

Interest doesn't mean offers... I want Lara, like an aussie, if she can handle the pressure!

Kids are self-promoting and post things even when the information might be misleading. For example, ZaKiyah probably got many dozens of expression of interest. By posting these 12, she's implying that she's down to these 12 schools, even though not all of them necessarily followed through with actual offers. Just makes her look more desirable.
