Not to burst your bubble, but tati is too small to go D1 honestly. Yeah you right all that past hype could POSSIBLY get her into school for free,( I doubt it) but you gotta think about it like this... a D1 coach isnt gonna want someone who hits a "flat spot" they want someone who can deliver ALL THE TIME and she's too small to go D1 she's barely like 5'6 maybe 5'7 the average PG for D1 is about 5'9 about 5'10, she's got some growing to do.....and from the games that I've seen and the ones I've played in against her I noticed that it's not that she so much as lazy, but that she has this sort mentality to play really layed back and nonchalant, or I could be wrong maybe she is just lazy, but I dont really think thats it. Im not trying to talk about her but I'm just stating some facts.

Re: Tatiana Ortiz -- Kenny, 05:53:41 02/04/06 Sat
Ivory Latta plays D1 basketball and she's 5'5 1/2. The shortest player in the WNBA is 5'2 and she gets substantial playing time. Muggsy Bougues is 5'2 and he played in the NBA. It's not the size of the dog in the fight, It's the size of the fight in the dog. Tati's height isn't her issue. And yea ol' girl was right, despite what we say, Tati will probably end up playing D1 because some schools have already talked to her. But the truth of the matter is that Tati just ISN'T what she's cracked up to be. So what she played with all boys when she was younger, so what she's made the all-city team, so what she was given honors at all these camps that she has attended. I NeVeR thought that Tati was all that. I've always thought that she was extremely over-rated and only had a shot. There are girls in the IHSA who play much better than her but never had the chance to be on an AAU team or go to little fancy camps. The girls that I'm talking about played outside (street ball) and when they got to highschool they joined there teams. Tati had a whole bunch of hype surrounding her before she got to H.S because of all the organized basketball that she had played. But point blank, she didn't prove to be terrificly better than all you other IHSA girl players. I'm not surprised that everyone is starting to see her for what she is now. And yeah, some D1 schools have showed interest in her, but none of them were real good schools. I think that Tati should HuRrY uP and commit (to one of the schools that has talked to her) because it's becoming TeRrIblY obvious that she aint all-that. And No, she didn't fall off because she was never REALLY up there. She was over-rated. Whoever wants to claim that she's just hitting a hard-spot needs to recognize what a hard spot is for Tati. A hard spot for Tati is not having her shot (which is all she has). So if this is the case; Even when she gets her shot back, she still won't be all-that.
She isn't worthy of all the hype that she has received.
P.S- Tati's height definately isn't the issue. It's all about heart, skills, and the right attitude, and I honestly believe that a short person (sh*t, 5'1) could take NCAA basketball by storm one day. Don't under-estimate short people. Anything is possible.

Danielle you just straight hatin rite now. U play ball so i can't even believe yoy just made that height comment, but for real every body just need to lay off tati, she can shoot, that might be the best or only part of her game ppl might say but look at Katie Copko,Jassmine Harvey,Sam Woods, these are all players who are straight shooters, and honest even though you need every part of the game these players have proven that you can get by with out it, not if you can pull up frm NBA range with a defender and make that shoot well honestly you don't need to drive, and as far as defense goes tati just all in your face trying to get a steal shes more laid make like a let me rest on defense type player, she like to contain her player from what i've seen rather than going from the steal, so just lay off, because no matter what you all say every college coach wants a player that can shoot so no matter what yall say i bet she end up at a D1 school so just stop hatin

Re: Tatiana Ortiz -- Tati fan, 18:11:13 02/07/06 Tue
Tati has offers on the table from some major schools. 7 at last check so as bad as she might be, she going to college 4 free! In the end that is what matters. Off to college 4 free!
