From the post game, someone from the press says to Gonzales "You were talking yesterday that Stanford had recruited you a little bit". I'm interpreting that as there was interest but "a little bit" probably means no offer. Gonzales was the 27th ranked point guard according to HoopGurlz. Shows you can be a very good college player even if you aren't that highly ranked.

She wasn't in the HoopGurlz Top 100 and when Tara was asked about having "recruited her a bit," Tara said, "yeah, we probably should have recruited her more." It didn't sound like there had been a very serious effort, and she was not considered an elite prospect in high school.

Read an article in the Utah papers before the game. She said that she was really looking forward to playing Stanford because we had recruited her. Made it sound like we had really come after her hard, which apparently we didn't.

I've never seen such a thing. Looking at the box scores for the games in Waco, none of the refs were redos last night.

It is not complicated. Missy is a recurring bad dream. We cannot escape her, she represents all that our basketball sub consciences fear. Fortunately, last night she was only a mildly unpleasant dream rather than one of those "oh my God I am falling when will I hit the bottom" bad dreams.

Perfect, 81. Thanks!

Interesting...I was waiting in line for the game and chatted with her dad a bit. He said Tara was planning on coming to their house with an offer, but Gonzales told her not to bother, that she wanted to "go to a place with loamy soil so she could bloom."

RE: WBB: Stanford 72 BYU 63 - chimera - 03-27-2019

Loamy soil? That is quite the phrase. She was excellent so someone must have watered her.

LOL. Hah, right!? Kept rolling around in my brain all through the game.

I interpret the comment as wanting her to get playing time as a freshman "in order to grow"....

Her dad sounds like a wannabe poet.
Anyway that is more in line with the article I read. Stanford took a run at her after she was 100% committed to BYU. I think we were a day late and a dollar short on this one.

RE: WBB: Stanford 72 BYU 63 - BobK - 03-28-2019

I never heard the slightest chatter about her and Stanford. Plus we had no openings for a late run
