Staff Is Grinding

Bring back some good news!

Must say, the ladies are looking really "hip" in their RU gear. I know,....I'm showing my age.

Looking like a pair of college kids ready to start on the new journey that awaits. If I'm a recruit,... Hey, sign me up!

 

[RUcrazee]

Also, we couldn't ask for better timing. Like I mentioned earlier, Coquese could benefit from a video that showed kids who she is (ND player, WNBA player, winning PSU coach, etc).

Well, we are getting that, to a degree, with Nikki McCray, via the celebration of the women's dream team documentary, showing of their Olympic games, and the documentary celebrating the WNBA's 25 year history. Nikki is prominently visible in all of them.

CW and Tasha could still benefit from their story being shown in a short video compilation that gets put on the official RUWBB site. Videographer/Media Specialist, ...Get on it. It can only help them on the recruiting trail.

They IMO also need to be shown their contemporaries. Wheeler getting her All Star MVP, Kahleah winning her MVP/playoffs MVP, Betnijah, etc. Think that would be very helpful.

Looks like the players are also working hard. Hope they're bonding well as they train for the upcoming season.

Really exciting time for WBB.

The "Run 4 Roses",....huge AAU Tourney out in Lexington, KY currently being shown on ESPNU.

Says there are over 1,000 coaches there. I saw the Scarlet "R" up on the wall representing the schools that have coaches present. Of course, they made a point to show Geno early in the broadcast.

Actually, in between games right now. The next game starts at 8pm.

Did you see anybody that looked interesting?

Wasn't able to watch much of it. Was hoping we'd get to see some of the local teams that made the trip there.

 

[APKnight]

Not many left in the portal. There is one from Stony Brook (Earlette Scott) and one from South Alabama (Destiny Samuel) that look like they might be a good fit. Both from NYC originally.

 

[RUcrazee]

What about Lenaejha Evans from Rider University. Is she in the portal. I thought I saw, a while back, that she was.

If so, I think she would be an excellent fit as a scoring point or 2-guard.

 

[RUcrazee]

Another possible good fit would be a U. of Alabama, Jr. guard from Canada that never got much playing time. Heck of a student.
Ahriahna Grizzle

 

[APKnight]

Evans is going to Elon. Grizzle is going to Florida A&M.

 

[RUcrazee]

Dangit! Dangit!! Just saw that about Grizzle on her twitter. I wonder if CW pursued any of these players that just came off the board in the last week or so.

 

[RUcrazee]

It's about getting to nail-biting time here.
This staff really has their work cut out for them at this point. No pun intended..lol.

Guess it's gonna take another highly ranked or McDs AA to sign with us to make us cool again and be seen as the worthy option that RU is. Gotta get that first domino to get it started.

I think this year it will be the find the under the radar types that can be coached up into playing
into the type of system that utilizes their talent as much as possible while hiding their shortcomings .
Winning with players like that, this year, will prove to the more talented recruits RU goes after next year that they will not be wasting their talent playing under CW and have those that advise them feel he same.

Heck of a name too!

 

[RUcrazee]

I like this alot. More positive exposure like this and there won't be a need for walk-ons. The more I see CW, the more I say to myself,...how can recruits not like her?

Nice to see player/coach/community bonding.
