Go to HoopGurlz.com. I did, and I didn't see her name out of the 400 players listed for the Class of 2009. That's funny, because it was either you or another Mandanite that said she was nationally ranked and all this. Like I said, she is good for North Dakota, but "big" would be considered a team that plays for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen every year. Also, you Mandan people said I was crazy when I said that Mandan wouldn't win the state title this year and well, I was right. You tell others that they are whining when they complain about the reffs, yet when Mandan lost to Belcourt, the Mandan fans screamed conspiracy theory. Why were you going to lock the thread? Oh yeah, I forgot. It's North Dakota. There's the dominant class and then there's everyone else. If you disagree with the dominant class, you get a thread locked. How fair is that?

It is funny how up until March of 2008, you were a huge MANDAN blogger.

congrats to Ali Collins for winning the MVP ball at the 2007 Twin Cities Classic in Pierre, SD over SDSU verbal Katie Lingle, Purdue verbal Sam Ostarello, Drake verbal Amber Wollschlager, and Iowa State verbal Alexis Yackley.

I'm not putting down Ali. I think she is a very good player and I have no doubt she is going to be playing Division I....I was simply stating that balla45 was trying to make her into something she wasn't. I was saying if she was going "big" and going to be on T.V. a lot, then she would be going to a Maryland, Texas, Notre Dame, etc. because those are the only schools that I ever see on T.V. during the regular season. I was saying that none of those message boards have mentioned her (usually some fans have the inside scoop to the players a school is recruiting) and most "big" schools have their scholarships signed by now. She also isn't nationally ranked like some people say. With that said, Ali is an excellent player. You guys are taking it the wrong way. I would call it a stretch to say she would end up at somewhere like Minnesota, Missouri, or the likes and even those aren't considered "big" by women's basketball standards. Yes she is "Elite", but you guys are making her seem like a big time national recruit is all. Yes, I did cheer for Mandan until I saw one of the games this year that they lost and I saw how their fans really were. Some of the things that were said about the players and coaching staff were uncalled for and some of the things posted on the Bismarck Tribune and this forum just showed me that I would rather cheer for a different team.

What one blogger puts as BIG may not be another blogger's BIG. So I think your getting hung up on something really stupid with a young adult. BIG to this blogger could be NDSU or UND, who knows.
You have posted a slightly negative towards Collins ever since Marlee graduated. You were a huge blogger for her Miss Basketball (around March 2008) and I think Baller called you on it when you started the blog "Mandan at Rock Bottom". Which by the way was started long before the season began, summer of 2008. So it is hard to believe that your switch was based on fans in the 2009 season.

Finley is a very deserving candidate. She has won state. She has about 2000 points for her career. She tied Mandan's record for the most threes in a game. She was a big reason Mandan did good last year. I won't be surprised if Feeney or Paulson get it, but Finley is a great choice. I for one would not be mad at all if Privrastky got it though.

Just for the record, BIG to me is NDSU or UND, but those are not the schools recruiting her. Here is how it works, she is #2 in line for a scholarship to a BIG school, behind a highly ranked guard, who is choosing from a multitude of schools. If highly ranked guard chooses a different school, Collins goes to a BIG school, if highly ranked guard chooses that school, Collins will still go D1, just not as big. She is considering 4 D1 schools, 3 have offered, with the 1 waiting in the wings, and 1 D2 full ride.
