First of all, look at the percentage of african american athletes in the NFL, and NBA to the WNBA. Huge difference. Second, who is to say that Robin has not recruited african american players. It might be a smaller number, but when you have the ladies from Montana with their skills and try to fill other spots on the team there is not much room to spare. Those players from out of state come to Montana to want to play. I really don't think that Robin has to go looking all that hard for them. There is some serious biasness in Citys posts and I don't understand it. It is what it is. Robin will be probably the number 3 winningest coach of all time by doing what he has done. Don't try to make something out of it that it is not. Keep doing what you are doing Robin! I can see sweet sixteen, if not better when we can pull Hurley and Tinkle into our program. I honestly have not seen a better freshman girl basketball player than when I saw Hurley play in Frenchtown a couple of years ago, at which time she was attending Pat Summits camps in Tennessee. The only thing I did not like was the fact that her coach kept her playing to pad her stats when they were up by 40. It was ridiculous. We have a very bright future!
Getting Ali Hurley is far from a given for Selvig at this point.
I am sure Selvig would be the first to agree. Tinkle is no guarantee either. Either one or both of them could end up out of state. Let's just hope they both stay healthy and get a chance to enjoy their HS careers before the fans and media bombard them with all the usual recruiting related questions.
