Without hesitation, hmmmm? I want to make a joke about racism here, but I want it to be obvious it’s a joke. Lol if that helps, that best friend is Asian so it was not too hard of a guess for me. I assumed that. Hence the awkward joke I did a poor job of executing. I sincerely loved the story. And yes, it was a big coincidence, but it’s impressive in a way for a person to simply bring up someone who is going to play a collegiate sport and you can rattle the correct name off the top of your head.

I wish all conferences had a defensive player of the year. It’s tough for middles to win that player of the year award over pins. Congrats to all the honorees! Well deserved. I’m especially impressed with what Van Niel did at ASU. I'm super happy about all of them. Van Niel definitely deserved the COY. I'm looking forward to see what he does in the Big XII. I'm really happy about Li too. She's such a well-rounded, smart player. I hope she can be the nucleus to attract more good players and build a strong team.
I agree that conferences should have a DPOY
I'm awarding DPOY to ... drum roll ... Magda Jehlárová, MB, Washington State

Right it is still so wild to me like in a million years I would not have guessed that Yu is my friend's cousin. And for whatever reasons, she brought it up in that occasion. I sorta followed Yu coz I know that MN was targeting her at that time. According to that friend, she was also considering MN too. Obviously we got Stella coming in next year

Thank you for sharing this was amazing! Some of my favorite quotes: “Sports robbed him of his dream, spat him out, and left him with little more than regret and painful lessons he learned too late. Love profusely, he told his daughter, but not exclusively. Train with fervor, he instructed, but preserve your body. Distinguish yourself, he demanded, but fight off comparison.” "I liked that idea of her doing something that people don't expect African Americans to do in terms of position," Harold says. "It became exciting to be one of the forerunners at that position." Kami for LA 2028!!

Thanks for this - I love Kami Miner. Her floor defense has improved so much this season. Her overall play has been such a force for Stanford this season. Shame that she is on her 4th and last season next year.

Great read! If this doesn’t make you a Kami fan then I don’t know what will. Now I’m truly going to be devastated if they don’t win it all this year 🥹

Does anyone know the correct pronunciation of Julia Blyashov’s last name? I’ve been pronouncing it with 3 syllables; but I heard the announcer today say her name with only 2 syllables. He said it like Bla-shov.
