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.

Some Pull-Outs from the Article; Thoughts on News by dillon77

Carl Adamec, who covers UConn, did a pretty good job of looking at the Haley-Jones situation from an overall persepctive.

CURRENT LIST OF CONSIDEREES:

Jones, who turned 17 this week, has had home visits with nine schools: UConn, California, Louisville, Notre Dame, Oregon, South Carolina, Stanford, Texas, and UCLA. She will cut the list to five and do another round of home visits. She said she has not planned or scheduled any official visits.

Her unofficial visit to UConn followed a trip to Virginia to take part in the Boo Williams Invitational.
WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR:

"I basically ask the same questions everywhere that I visit," Jones said.

"One of the main things I'm looking for is team chemistry," she added. "When I take a visit I want to spend time with the team and get to know them and see whether I can see myself with that program. I'm looking at the coaching staffs because you're going to be coached by these people every day for four years. And I'm looking what the school has to offer after basketball because your career can only go so far. Academics are important."

THOUGHTS ON JONES:
- So far, a lot of the usual suspects on the consideree list.
- Great to have her come for an unofficial visit. There has been talk about whether she'd leave the left coast. Using one of her five OV's is a good sign...ND is in the ballgame!
- Like Baba says, she's having a heck of a trails so far, very much trying to make the team this time around. The other people getting consistent noise are Azzi Fudd and "Pistol Paige" Bueckers, a phrase we've used on this board before I (pat ourselves on the back or old floppy grey socks, folks).

Also think this news that Jones, Anmihere and Boston are coming for OV's is it for Class of 2019 until they come to South Bend. MM is setting her sights very high -- appropriately -- to find players to join Sam and Anaya. Only the best.

Will pay hard attention to where else those three are visiting this fall.

Also keep track of 2020 sightings this summer.

Will update the Database shortly.
