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.

Both Posts Are Very Thought-Provoking.... by dillon77

-- I'm Not about to trash the entire concept of transfers. Students in the general population do so at a greater rate and I think student-athletes should not be bound to a different sort of bonding if there are mutual issues that cannot be worked out.

-- As for Dani's situation, I'm sure there are some things that we'll not know about. She did admit that the lack of playing time bothered her a bit. Yes, she was playing behind five superstars, but me thinks time could've been worked out to get her some minutes during the regular season.

-- I'm scratching my head on her ultimate location for one reason: Dani said she wants to play pro ball and go to a place that will help prepare her for it. While Indiana is getting better, MM and her staff have put players into the pro's on a regular basis. Unnamed issues must have been pretty sizable.

That said, best of luck as Dani heads south on Rte. 31.

If there is a possible lesson learned here in South Bend, maybe an examination on player rotation can examined. Not at the expense of winning, of course, but with the idea of keeping the players who can help you win around.
