as long as these MM email rumors are still out there and not disproven, I'd back off casting any judgement towards Yarden. If the story is even partially true, it's not a good story.
Yarden Garzon can F all of the way off
- Thread starter kraft cheese+macaroni
- Start date
Not young, just not prejudiced. What does being an Israeli have to do with it?
claimed that Mbako sent her anti-semitic and/or threatening texts, emails or letters. Should have been a multi-game or season suspension/expulsion right then.
I don't know beans about Yardon, but I know someone that doesn't have any "since".
IU needs an overhaul in terms of overall athletic ability for the women's team. They were a good team but not great, to get to the next level they needed athletes. Garzon was a good shooter, not fast with limited lateral movement and her ability to defend was so so. Would it be nice if she returned absolutely it is the end of the world no because she was not going to lead the current IU team to a Big 10 title let alone a National Championship.
The worst part of it is not being very loyal if the offer was equal to what she received especially going to what seems to be a very similar program as IU. I would feel better about it if she transferred to UCONN, South Carolina, USC or UCLA it would make more sense.

Of course it’s opinion. But if you like effort, energy, enthusiasm, actually playing together as a team, I don’t think it’s even close.
For the most part it is. We have a good number of Jewish students, sororities and frats and two Jewish centers. I imagine, like many other places, this past year made some relationships strained.
Lol and why can’t you just skip the topic if you AREN’T interested? Maybe you missed the fact that last year more people watched the women’s Final Four than the men’s? A lot of people are interested in both. And with our women’s team being far superior to our men’s the last decade or so, they have gained many followers. If you aren’t one, that’s fine.
I can’t imagine a grown man being this upset about a little girl’s decision about putting a basketball through a hoop.. lol
That’s not true. I know a student manager for the team and Yarden was very close to many of the women, but almost all of her friends graduate and are leaving. And then the incident…. I’d heard months ago she was probably leaving.
How is it slow? Teams are scoring in the 70’s and even 80’s now.
Same way grown men get upset about little boy’s decisions and wet their pants if we don’t get a recruit we want, Ala last week…..
I don't know how old she is but I do know she's 6'3 and could kick your ass.
Maybe she can fight Krafty.. he needs his ass kicked
Oh, jeez. Don’t worry, now it’ll only be a matter of time before one of them slinks over here and clears up your confusion for you and the rest of the forum. Nice work…
I think this is called blaming the victim…
The folks who bitch about women's bball are the same as the folks who complain about hating the "lazy NBA game". Neither group has watched a game in years. The women's game has progressed a ton and is generally better fundamental ball than the men's game.

What it has to do with it is, she is in a foreign country, and is most likely here for an education paid for by her ability to play basketball, and not to fulfill a candy stripe dream. If you were in Isreal, would you have a strong loyalty to a particular university? In my opinion, you likley wouldn't.
Anti-Semitic is self explanatory. The “threatening” part needs some more info. Threatening how?
“I’m gonna beat your ass unless you stop being Jewish”? What were the threats?
When you look at our rosters (or most rosters), not many who grew up dreaming of playing for the candy stripes and my guess is we had more than most in Leal, Goode, Galloway and Hatton possibly. We don't need kids who grew up dreaming of playing at IU, we need kids who know how to play the game and relish becoming a Hoosier!

Agreed. The only thing that frustrates me is all the missed layups. I finally figured out there’s a big difference in the height and what that means for women vs men.
Not saying she can't score..But so slow getting down the court on D.
Far from my favorite women's player.
I just cant get burnt down on a women's transfer..
Nope. I actually like watching and cheering for the women. NBA? No f’ing way. Won’t waste my time watching that sh!t.
It’s just not a game I like to watch.
The University of Maryland is known for having one of the largest Jewish student populations in the country, with 5,800 undergraduate students identifying as Jewish, which is about 19% of the undergraduate population.
Yep didn’t know exact numbers but know they and MIchigan both have large Jewish populations.
WTH?? This is the first time I’ve heard this one, can someone please explain? Bizarre to say the least.
It was discussed in the other thread about Garzon. Both players are gone now, probably not worth rehashing it.
Just repeating what I heard, I didn't receive the communications, just heard about them 12th hand, on here. What does it matter? They're both gone, just adding some context to what was said.
