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.

Dani by hempfield75

The expectations were to high on Dani. With the players in front of her
and MM, like Geno plays limited bench. How could she get comfortable and
really learn the system and players.

...She probably is the type of person that needs to be on court and
counted on. Her first 2 years is a wash. Lets judge her when MM, the
coaching staff and us fans are counting on her. Jordan also struggled
her first year. We have a bad happen of comparing and judging compared
to past great ND players. Big mistake on our part.

...Both Jordan and Dani know there is know longer a security blanket. It
is now really up to them to show the coaches and us what they can really
do. My money is on the 2 New York women. Dani, Mik, Jordan, along with
Danielle will make us proud and eat our words.

...I also believe we will see an improved Danielle. This is where the
mental part of the game takes charge. All 4 knows what is at stake and
the expectations are not high, except for MM and the coaching staff. They
have a lot of pride and want everyone to see what they can really do.
I am not worried about these players. I think they will be better than
fine. All 4 at some time or the other as teased us with why they were
recruited to ND.

Thanks
