No attempt by Tillet here. She's reproduced her staff from Longwood - A HOF coach can bring all their people in to every stop, most don't do this though. A coach at her level really can't. She has though. This also show that maybe she limited connections in the industry as well, not a good thing. She's posted the team doing meditation during practice on social media - We have a set amount of time for player development every week, lets work on basketball skills instead of namaste, JMHO. The one Asst coach she hired is clownish - Not making fun of looks here. Her promotional photo she is wearing a bow tie and a mens suit jacket with the tags still on it. I know the culture is different in womens Bball, but this is the equivalent of a man wearing random baseball hat with the sticker on the bill in his photo. To some who say this is a cool look for young people and I'm too old, its not a cool look and I'm not that old. Another Asst coach is from Chicago St - I know she worked with Tillet before but Chicago St is the worst run AD in D-1. I'm not touching anyone they hire. All the transfers she brought in are from Longwood - Again this shows a lack of connections and a lack of recruiting skill. There are only so many players she can bring in from Longwood. This hire reeks of SLU being cheap - This is out of Tillets control but they are all interconnected and this is my overriding concern. I think MMP put it best, May made this hire because he thinks he can get more out of the program with the same level of commitment. I thought SLU was past this level of thinking. . Saint Louis is a top academic school. Women's basketball is WAY different from Men's basketball. Getting to the right school for a quality education is likely a very high top want for women ..... much more so than for the men IMO. So local recruiting may be less of a priority or need.

Is it really? Its not top 100. Just like the men SLU women have had the most success being led by locals.

SLU isn't Harvard. I also think womens basketball isn't much different than men's basketball when it comes to recruiting. I think you see a lot more of the "I want to major in ____ so I am looking exclusively at ___ schools" in the non-full-scholarship sports.
