Idiotic is your insistence that you’re right, and for some unknown reason you feel the need to put people down like a spoiled child. That is idiotic! Grow up and get a job.

Give it a rest dude, you just hate Konawaena and any success they or any of their girls have. I know lots of people who have degrees from small private DIII universities that do very well for themselves, and on the other hand I know a few that did go to your top listed schools and are not even working in the field they received their degree from. Bottom line is the Molina girls kicked butt and the last one still has one more year to irritate you. So funny reading your idiotic posts.

I have gone on record many times to say how talented these young ladies are. Please find a post where I say they are not talented?

Once again making up stuff to try and make yourself sound correct. Who does that?

My point is with the school and adults not giving them the opportunity to get into schools that their talent matches. The oldest Molina has legit top 25 school talent and she is at WSU.

Please right back and make up more stuff. What’s next? Are you going to accuse me of writing stuff about NCAA D2 or the NAIA?

Sad, you cannot even read.

Please point out what is idiotic? Now, granted, I know it’s hard for you to comprehend higher level thinking, making inferences, and composing theories based on data. So I will break it down for you. Please let me know what is idiotic.

Point #1 – Molina if marketed correctly could have had athletic scholarships to USC, UCLA, or Cal. US News and many other publications that rank Division 1 Universities have these schools in the top 25 if not higher. WSU hovers in the 100-125 range. Therefore, teh opportunity to get a much better degree that ties into quality of life was very realistic.

Please tell me what is idiotic about this statement?
1) Do you think WSU is better academically?
2) If given the opportunity to attend these 4 schools, would you choose WSU over the others?

And you do know that many D3 schools are top level academics schools correct? Notice, I never mention D3 since many of those schools are high level academic schools. I only mention WSU.

Please show me where I mention any D3 schools and say that they are either academically inferior or worse than any of the schools I mention?

I have not, so please do not make up things just to try and prove a point that does not exist.

Is that what you were taught to do? You make up statements based on someone that no one is talking about? D3? Um, no? No one is talking about D3 schools here so why bring that up?

Man, I totally see why you think what I say is idiotic. For some reason, your brain makes you think that I was actually or ever talking about D3. I was not.

Maybe get your head checked and then read my posts again after the doctor clears you.

Thanks for trying though.

What were they? WSU or UH? That is not a hard choice.

What I am saying is if the adults surrounding her knew how the recruiting game works, then schools like USC, UCLA, Cal, and maybe even Stanford would have been realistic options.

And if you pick WSU over Stanford (if both offer), then honestly you are a fool.

ED and The Watcher as long as the girls are getting good education, what does being bottom of PAC12 or lower tier even matter. Their are thousands of schools that’s much lower tier, but why keep comparing and repeating yourself.It just don’t make sense why your so concern with what school Molina went to. Would you be happy if she went to USC or UCLA? Both school she upset during her time playing before her injury. She’s happy and getting big recognition at WSU, so I guess she must have picked the right school.
—————————————–
Well what if your child could get a BETTER education? Do you teach your children to be content? Or do you teach them to be risk takers and shoot for the stars? Now, assuming it’s free, there’s nothing wrong with free education.

But if a realistic option is USC, UCLA, or Cal, and those options were not shown to me or wasn’t made availability due to the HC’s inability to create relationships with college scouts or their unwillingness to let the star player travel with other clubs that go to more high profile tournaments, then I would be very disappointed.

If the kid got into USC or UCLA I would be very happy for the kid. It frustrates me when talented kids settle (not her fault) since they were not told or the adults surrounding them are naive and/or inexperienced on how to do the recruiting thing.

As for big recognition, what are you talking about? UCONN has won over 100 games in a row, and even that wasn’t really front page news compared to other high level and high profile sports. So what big recognition is she getting?

As for upsetting them, big whoops. I am talking about securing a high level degree that opens many doors. Maybe you don’t understand, but when you graduate from USC or UCLA, especially when you are an athlete, doors open, jobs are often waiting, and the networking among fellow alumni is HUGE!

Please tell me that is incorrect.

You also forgot Stanford. WSU is at the bottom for academics in the Pac 12.

EF, would those top schools you speak of, admit all of the Molina sisters?

Part of their decision to go to WSU was to all play together. Did your sources tell you that? Are your sources even close to the family? Nope.

Please, know your role.
—————————–
Notice I am making a speculation based on information told to me and using common sense. I believe if the oldest Molina had a HC with better relationships with Division 1 schools, then the oldest Molina could have and probably would have gotten into schools such as USC, Cal, and UCLA.

This is only my opinion based on what some scouts told me. They said she had the talent to get the tier 1 universities, not settle for a tier 3-4.

Now regarding the two sisters, they are not as good so most likely they wouldn’t get the same opportunity.

Now if losing the chance to attend and obtain a degree from a top university to play with your sisters who you have played with for the past 4-8 years, then in my opinion, that is sad.

I get playing with your family if the options are limited. But if one kid has the chance to go way above and beyond, then you take it.

Using this mentality is just crazy. So what’s next, one only had the ability to work at 7-11 so the other two sisters should work there too?

That is absurd and a small mind’s way of thinking.
