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.

Thanks for Your Input.... by dillon77

Along those lines, a number of us have thought that Maddy wouldn't be a silent commit given that she'd just spent four weeks going to OV's at schools around the region. I don't care how many free hotel stays you like to partake in, but that's still a lot of time and effort to spend when you've committed silently to the last school of the bunch.

I also saw a videotape a year or two back (which I posted here) of Maddy talking about schools that were recruting her and she mentioned a few schools (Ohio St., Tenn) and acknowledged there's, of course, ND. She knows it well and is obviously attracted/interested, but wanted to see what else was/is out there. She's done that.

We'll see what happens. If she does come here -- or go elsewhere, she most certainly has done her research. I think she'd be a really positive addition to the team, adding both inside and mid-range presence, plus savvy focus. (Sound familiar?)

Stay tuned.
