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.

Not Necessary. The Hoopla and Allure of the Setting... by dillon77

..is cool, but does not really translate into what they'll see indoors. Might be cool to see how they perform "on the court" and see what moxie and/or attitude they bring, but the coaches have probably gotten a good idea of that, too.
If there was a 2020 prospect the Irish were closing on present, it might be worth the trip, but for the 2021's, it would be more of an emotional check (particularly given that the coaches can't actually talk to them in August.)

I think Olivia Miles and Destiny Adams could have some serious fun here.
