Am I wrong, but I think there are 3 scholarships open for next year. That takes care of 2 of the presumed 3 scholarships.
My question about this staff is who is going to go out on the road to recruit? Probably not Shannon with a family and she will get little backup from a spouse who has a very full plate as the Track coach.
Sonja has or is getting ready to have baby #1.
Petrino will have to be the guy who goes on the road.
This is all a bit of exaggeration from an outsider's perspective - I don't know what will happen with the remaining coaching position.
But, I know that Shannon can recruit her household and her daughter's team, let's see what she can do with that third scholarship that I presume exists.
Hope she can find a player who is the caliber of Sims or Valley or Stiles.
Anyway, I would like to see recruiting like Travis does with the men. He goes up against strong competition and gets "wow" talent.
If her first two recruits are in that category, I'm not sure. But let's see what happens with the 3rd recruit - if there is a 3rd scholarship.
Yes, there are 3 Seniors: Isaak, Sims, Valley, so with 2 scholarships spoken for, 1 remains.
I think you are being a bit sexist if you don't think Shannon can go out to recruit. She did lots of the recruiting the past few years when Selvig was HC. She and hubby Brian have been able to share family duties/responsibilities thru-out their marriage while coaching. Things won't be any different now, and probably will be even easier since the daughters are older.
