    Yes. Just google the press coverage of his IU commitment. All refer to him as a Grad Transfer. I see all these regurgitation gifs re Goode's commitment to Indiana. What's truly sickening to me is the downright small spiritedness and lack of generosity to a young man who: 1. Committed to...

    Further to my most recent post... Oh, I know. She ended up having to start because Geno had 6, 6, players go down with season-ending injuries. I didn't say he Never starts freshman. I've been a devoted fan of the UConn Women's team for 29 years & counting. The point remains, as another...
