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.

Coincidence or just a typical Notre Dame recruit? by BabaGhanouj

The similarities between Erin Boley and Sam Brunelle are shocking.
• Both last names begin with ‘B’.
• Both are 6-2.
• Both are forwards.
• Both have killer 3-pt shots.
• Both had an average ranking of 6 out of HS (but I never found Boley’s ASGR ranking)
• Both played in both the McD and Jordan Classic games.
• Both were exceptional at the all star games. (Brunelle won the 3-pt shooting contest at the McDonald’s game and Boley won MVP at the Jordan game.)
• Both were on 3x3 US national teams.
• Both were national player of the year (Brunelle - HS Coaches Assn, Boley - Gatorade)
• Both played for Notre Dame.
• Both (perhaps) were class valedictorians (Brunelle was, last I heard Boley was in the running).
• Both were high school officers (Brunelle senior class president, Boley senior class vice-president)
• Both were high school homecoming queens.
• Both founded after school programs in high school.
