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.

Good Read, Indeed, from the "Go- To" Paper for Alli... by dillon77

...the Altoona Mirror (gosh knows how many articles I've read of theirs over the years!). Two quotes stand out:

From Niele:

“I think she’s (Alli) the perfect fit, and I’ve always felt that way,” Ivey said. “When she said ‘yes’ it was a breath of fresh air. Outside of her amazing athletic talent, she’s a sharpshooter, which is something we need. She has the capability of being a scoring threat, and I love her as a person. She’s high character and has the values to be a perfect Notre Dame fit. She’s a tremendous student with a great family.”

(Dillon druthers: Like it when a coach uses the word sharpshooter.)

From Alli:

"..But I have been working hard every day with ball-handling and shooting when I can. I’ve been doing strength workouts, trying to get quicker, anything I can do to be ready when I’m out there. I know it’s going to be tough, and I want to be as well prepared as possible so I can make an impact.”

Look forward to these two working together.
