It is mind boggling how she reeled in top classes at UCLA but seems to be struggling here. Yes Moncrief and Ballard were good grabs but we need to bring in a class that has multiple top players. We definitely need shooters. Harden is a good 3 pt shooter, her mid range is wildly inconsistent. Rhodes and Peterson can't seem to make a shot unless its WIDE open. Rhodes needs to develop an outside game, her game in hs was literally all inside the paint. I'm hoping Deemer will change that

long, but true..
The "Pokey was great" mythology remains, facts about her recruiting..Pokey almost killed our program...She helped recruit some great players for sure, but she also lost us many recruits who did not want to be "hit on" by an asst coach, (Tiffany Jackson to name one with whom we almost certainly would have won at least two NC's),
BUT, Pokey was let go in late March and left a team with 9 seniors, two juniors and two underclassmen. She had signed two players in early signing (Hightower and Phillips). In other words she was going to the next season with FOUR players who ever saw a college court. She had NOT recruited well the last 2+ years and the team was going to be waaaay down after the next year no matter what.
Oh, and as a parting shot her "sig other" Coach Stiles from La Tech lineage (who is now an asst coach with Pokey and has been for last 7 years in Russia etc) talked Porsche Philips into leaving for UGA before ever playing for us.
