Sister Jean, we love ya! The Ramblers are back and coach Drew Valentine has them trending
up with a top 50 recruiting class.
Interesting team, whose coach has a fast passing, low error offense...Fun to watch....
Meanwhile, our staff, as now assembled, seems to hit about the same level (sans a defensive
big) each year, and this coming season might determine if K&Co. can finally exceed their
predecessors, and we can continue to move up the conference ladder a little....
It has been apparent for some time that if we are really serious about recruiting (and actually
getting) a higher level front court player(s) that something needs changed:
.......Possibilities?
...Upgrade geographic scope of our recruiting efforts?
...Hire a recruiting specialist, especially in bigs...Would have to include global efforts?
...Could our recent hiring of someone with NIL experience in the AD signify more University
participation in that recriting tool?
I have no idea what the answer is, but the top third of this conference is too good for us to
compete with without significant improvement in that area of our game....
