This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Koval as freshman by Knuteberg

I should have used a different phrase rather than work in slowly. I think Koval will have a big adjustment to the speed and athleticism she will be facing next year. I watched her in a couple of all star games where the competition was much stronger than in her HS games. Both M Randolph and J Edwards had little problem moving around her near the basket. I think Koval will be a great player by her junior year but if she faces R Beers Betts Kiki I or any of the South Carolina front court players she will have real problems and pick up quick fouls. She needs next level conditioning and nutrition. Again just my thoughts and open to another other ideas and viewpoints
