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.

Seems Very Engaging. Appreciate Her Candor ... by dillon77

... in regards to the circumstances surrounding her departure from Stanford/arrival at ND:

"... Stanford recruits very well and recruits a lot of people, so there were 15 on the roster now (the maximum number of scholarship players) and no scholarship spots available.”

Children in large families -- particularly those in "the middle" or younger strata have to find ways to "get theirs," so to spek, and Marta did that.
You can see how that she's bonded with everyone from summer school until now just by looking at the videos and pictures.

I remember those games against Stanford all so well and she was a factor in both...tough kid then and I'm sure that quality has stuck. Look forward to all her contributions.

p.s. For another dicscussion, but the difference bewteen Stnford's recruiting approach and ours is interesting.
