I'm guessing it's "Anybody but Rutgers." Reminds me of our days at the ACC tournament when the 18k fans cheered for "ABM".
What dconifer said. Like ABC to many in WBB. ABA in football. ABNE in pro football. ABND in almost anything to some. Need I go on?
Others in the thread got it right.
I don't look at it like RU "snubbed" the WNIT, I look at it like a very cogent statement....."We are not taking your shit anymore."
What did the WNIT do to RU besides invite them after the NCAA passed them over.
You forgot to mention Essy Davis who stayed and was named Defensive Player of the Year. also Brionya Canty who played despite several difficult medical problems. Both Essy and Bri are always at games and around the program. These random attacks are unfounded. Disagree with the teams decision but don't arrive at conclusions to fit your opinion.
I like Kena, but she transferred to FSU first and got less playing time there than she did at RU. She probably would have gotten less playing time at RU in her junior season with the addition of Scaife to the roster, but that is only speculation. She left FSU after one season (not counting the season she had to sit after transfer rules) when they brought in players like Leticia Romero, Imani Wright and Brittany Brown. She was able to contribute more to Seton Hall in her last year of eligibility as they didn't have the talent on their roster that FSU and RU did. Yes she did burn us in that one game, but I don't think that one game defines her career and I think being coached by both Stringer and Semrau certainly helped her develop.
I promised myself not to become involved in this thread again but I have to point out facts. Statements like Daisha Simmons "coming back to help the Hall burn us" are out and out incorrect.
She did play decent minutes and did a good job. Is she stayed, I think she would have played a lot and would of had a nice career at RU. I always wondered if she transferred because of the new players coming in which was Canty, Copper, Betnijah, Shakena and Essy.
Too add to this, I've talked to reporters that cover the Shore area who said coaches from RU don't even show up to scout players.
Not sure. Was watching online. Franklin has one stud who's going to Maryland as well. Obviously Mabrey is headed to Va Tech. The only one that would be left for them would be Mullaney, a junior sharpshooter, who's already got some major offers. Might be too late in the game for RU.
From the information shared to me from various coaches and trainers at the grass roots level in the Central Jersey/Shore area they very rarely are seen. I know one of the trainers that has worked with many of the top recruited shore girls and he has said they were open to RU but didn't receive much "love." He has said since the 2010/11 staff turnover there hasn't been an effort by RU to embrace much of the talent in NJ like the competition has.
I believe RU did recruit D. Miller and she was at one of the games in the beginning of the year. I saw a girl with a HS basketball jacket and was only able to see a“FR” (Franklin HS) on the back of the jacket and the rest of the school name was covered by her hair, but it did look like her.
