bills16 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 She did take Drake to the Sweet 16 even though it was using mostly Lisa Bluder's recruits. Bluder left Drake for Iowa City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This strikes me as a homerun hire. Not an assistant, not an up and comer. Frankly I am shocked. I like our chances for respectability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This strikes me as a homerun hire. Not an assistant, not an up and comer. Frankly I am shocked. I like our chances for respectability. I agree 100% - now for all those who were saying things like the dragging of their feet could be that they are dropping women's bb - I thought that was just silly anyway - this hiring shows that the school was working through this process slowly but with purpose - I would take any of her records compared to what we had the last 7 yrs.

STL Hoops Insider Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 I loved her interview comments I saw on the news this morning, where she said a lot of coaches want to lock down their state., but that you gotta lock down your city first. She said recruiting Saint Louis was her no. 1 priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
