She's getting there. Her coaches, trainers and doctors have all said that she's way ahead of schedule and are quite frankly shocked at how quickly she has reached each milestone in her recovery. They have attributed this to her dedication to the rehab assignments and work ethic. That said, everybody is keeping her rehab pace at the normal rate and in no hurry to rush her back. She is continuing her strength & conditioning rehab and running regularly to get back into shape. I'm being told she'll come off the bench at first (maybe on defense to start) and they will slowly ease her back in in time for WCC league play.

Pencil in the usual suspect at the same place as last year the first Friday in September for the Waves. I wouldn't mind grabbing a beer again this year with you too.
I am glad to hear that your player is progressing so rapidly. Mine just got cleared to run and kick a ball.
Good luck to you, your player and your amazing family.

You remind me that you don't have to agree with someone to like them. You just keep growing on me. Can't you get a better screen name than that racist criminal?
Good luck to you sir.
Would switch Duke and NC State... But otherwise very close in the ACC, also think that like the SEC it is a little top heavy. Really interested in your Pac12 list though... Utah at nine? Colorado over Arizona, which I do kind of get, because some seasons they are up and some are down, but Arizona State at 12? They're a rebuilding program, and I personally think that they have a bright future, and though they didn't perform magnificently or even above average the past season, they didn't do horrible. Don't think they have it? Oregon schools? Oregon has a nice incoming class, don't know too much about Oregon State's though. Please elaborate, I'm intrigued

That is very kind of you to say, I am looking forward to our beer summit. As for the name, I will take that under advisement.
How is #5 coming along?

Thats what I thought as well. Shouldn't this meeting be in the Bu?
Don't they alternate locations year after year?

Usually but according to the schedule I have seen it is east of the 405 this year. This year's schedule is the toughest I have seen and will definitely be the nations toughest. They play all but one of the teams that I think are national title contenders and none at home...

Right on schedule. On the grind. She knows they have a lot of work ahead of them and they know who they are going to have to beat this year. She will be 100% by August. Thanks for asking.
Good luck to you and your player.

Best of luck to you and yours as well.
Love,

Duke lost 6 starters and almost all went pro so they are going to take time to gel. NC State returns 8 or 9 starters on a team that got better as the season wore on. Duke will be dangerous come tournament time and they do benefit from a cupcake schedule this year but I think NC State will finish higher in league.
Utah has enough talent to be a tournament team, which is why I think that the conference could get 9 teams into the dance.
Regarding Colorado and Arizona, they are pretty equal but Colorado returns 8 starters and got some good transfers and returning injured players and that gives them the edge in my mind.
Arizona State is a complete tear down and rebuild job. In a conference as tough as the PAC 12 that equals a lot of losses.
The Oregon schools are victims of their circumstances. They actually are decent but being simply good in a conference with several great teams and a couple of amazing ones unfortunately puts you towards the bottom of the standings.
Good luck to you and your player.

Which part of her story? I know about how she is getting to go to her first choice college even though she might have signed a letter of intent to another school in a much shadier part of town. I know that the institution that she will be attending has an amazing coaching staff that encourages their players to grow as global citizens in addition to putting them in a position to compete for the national championship and with their national teams.
Lucky young woman. Good luck to you and your player.
Wish I could give multiple ratings. Wanted to put funny because I love your UCLA pride and USC shade, but great info. How does it work if she already signed her NLI? How do last minute commitments work in those situations, I thought they weren't really possible at schools like UCLA, so late and all. Isn't all of the Bruin's moneys spent for that year at that point?

I don't want to go too deeply into it here outside of saying players can be released from a LOI. UCLA and Cal are a pretty good value for the money as are any of the UC's. I will PM you the other answers.
That is so sweet. Did you put Amy back to work on the King Cal for Cassidy?

Are you mad because your kid would never be recruited by a school that had great academics or a great soccer program? Oklahoma works for your kid. Don't hate because my kid has many more opportunities.
Blame yourself for being such a miserable individual that your kid had no chance. And stay away from children you pedophile. Happy Mother's Day mitch.
