Who's acting like that? I literally stated that "(she) played limited minutes (didn't enter the game in Waco until the 7-minute mark in the second quarter)". That wasn't a new thought; it's bothered me since it happened, and many of us discussed it on here at that time.
But spears is not in the portal
A. Welcome back. Hope you keep posting.
There was a discussion on this message board immediately after a specific home game where someone noticed that the TV cameras caught Matharu outside the team circle during their post-game talk on the court, where she was totally disinterested and looking away while Vic was talking. I don't remember which game it was (maybe in February on LHN), but I do remember going to back to view my recording of the game, and that was an accurate assessment of her behavior (attitude). Some on here may have even speculated that she wasn't happy (based on her playing time), and that her body language could be indicative of a subsequent departure.
I had read in the past that grad school programs don't really start their classes until the Fall. But, that doesn't mean a grad student-athlete couldn't enroll in undergraduate summer classes.
I do recall that video...what got my attention was her discussing team plays
What all was said? Was it negative towards Texas??
Not that I remember...just stuff that would be team only like. I remember her describing a play or quote of some kind then catching herself, smiling then changing subject. Just a very raw conversation among friends. It was almost like a player that had already transfered....really strange
Malcom's recollection is correct. I actually jotted down some notes on certain things that were said, but I'm out of town right now. I might give more specifics when I get home on Monday if appropriate. It was actually an entertaining conversation at times (Aliyah has an entertaining personality) and quite enlightening in certain respects such as a discussion on how other conference teams act towards our players, her opinion that SEC coaches respect Vic but Big12 coaches do not, and how Haley Jones isn’t the classy player she is played up to be. But I only saw the video because Youtube's algorithm put it in my suggested videos because the click-seeking Youtuber that likely illegally recorded and posted it called it "Vic Schaefer secrets spilled by former and current players", thinking that it would draw bunch of views. The video was an instagram live session that appeared to be hosted by Andrea Espinoza-Hunter, with Aliyah and another former MSU player whose name I can't recall. It occurred sometime in early April. My first thoughts after viewing the video was: (1). there is absolutely no way in hell Aliyah or anyone else in the video consented to it being recorded; (2). it was pretty careless to say some of the things that were said in a non-private forum; and (3). This could be an indication that we weren't going to see Aliyah play for Texas again. In the video, she dogs several of Vic's drills, admits to trying to get out of them (like saying she has to use the restroom), laughs with the other former players about the alleged lack of ingenuity in Vic's offense (but curiously, the Big12 tournament final against Baylor was an example raised by one of the former MSU players, and if memory serves me, we won that game easily - right?), says she tells Blair “girl, I don’t play that”, and if I remember correctly, wasn’t too fond of Vic's frequent religious references and things like having to sign his door every day. YouTube’s rules on video removal allow a video to be taken down if (among other reasons) a person depicted in the video says it was recorded without their consent. Someone apparently got it removed within a few weeks or a month if I remember correctly. The video was up for a few weeks' time minimum. Didn't get a lot of views as I recall (maybe in the couple of 100s or low 1000s), but I'm guessing its existence got back to the staff and they weren’t pleased.
Or so likely (in Vic's world) !
Exactly why I don't even worry about it anymore. Vic and Co. STAY READY so they don't have to GET READY.
lol go back to sleep and dream we win a national championship
Man, you guys are really good at this stuff! This board is filled with pros. First, we are directed to a really stretch of a connection with a former player. Then, a follow by a coach or two. Then a follow of or by a current player. Then some more follows, or mutual follows. Then a rumor of a visit. Then one of you has me breaking down an instagram story over and over like the damn Zapruder film to see if I can actually make out a Shaylee-like figure in the reflection of the living room window at Vic's house. Then Shaylee tiktoks from somewhere in Texas. Now its a done deal? Wow! All those people who lost their minds on Twitter when Matharu went in the portal just needed to be watching this board.
