re: Any Women's Basketball Recruiting news?

My primary point in the previous post was we DESPERATELY need height for '14, and lots of it. Tank and Shelia will be our only front court players left going into '14. Neither of these young ladies is Sylvia Fowles, so it is impossible to get by with that as a front court and a buttload of guards.

True depth is a good thing to have, but we DO NOT need warm bodies. We need people who can make an impact---not expecting All-American here, just real, tangible contributions. Further, if we're gonna front-load the '14 class before we even get actual class of '14 players, we must focus on height, as I referenced above. As I said before, our current (2013) roster will go into '14 with 6 guards and 2 forwards. Now we've added another guard for '14.

I do like the fact, at this point at least, that she will be a junior so that if she doesn't work out well, we won't have used the scholly for a full 4 years.

My bottom line is I love my Lady Tigers dearly and have followed them since the inception of the program. I don't expect all of signees to be High School All Americans, but a few never hurt anybody. Further, I am one who believes that Nikki and Co. know what to do with talent, maybe a little bit better than they are a developing players.

That said, I bet the bunch of them is kicking themselves in the arse daily for letting Bianca and TP ride the pine so much last year. Van also wasted Bianca for 2 years---Adrienne and his '08 class (his first and best) were his babies, getting the huge bulk of PT.

I just pray that the next transfer they are gonna announce (Bethel's is still not even on the website) is a front court player with some sort of proven talent.

GEAUX LADY TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
