The women's JC talent level is no where near as deep as it is in the Men's game. 15 years ago it was a place where D-1 coaches could add some instant impact players, but not any more. Those players are rare commodity in the jc ranks now. Petrino needed to fill roster spots and had little time (and a Covid hampered recruiting pitch). He took a chance, but it was not like there were dozens of unsigned top notch high school players available last June.
About the "The House That Robin Built" being burned down.......bullshit! The wins are not any where near the Selvig standard yes, but you still have the highest attendance in the Big Sky and your fans are loyal. The Lady Griz have taken a hit recently, but you have a strong fan base who are salivating waiting for the Lady Griz to return to days of glory. The belief is still there, the support is still there hell despite the losses the excitement is still there. Coaches would love to be able to sell this "burnt down house" to recruits every day and every night. Every intelligent coach in the country knows this. Shannon took the hit as the coach who followed a ledged. Everything a coach could be looking for in low to mid level D-1 basketball team is here! It has not left. If you were to give all the Big Sky coaches a truth serum and asked if they would leave their current job to take over the Todays Lady Griz program half of them would do in a heart beat, again if they would answer honestly. The house that Selvig built is not burned down. It is still one of the finist homes west of the Mississippi. <as he continues with his metaphor> It just needs someone to find it right owner who is willing and capable enough to bring the spit and polish back. <and now driving my Metaphor into the ground> that is why we need to get Brint Wahlberg on the selection committee!! If anyone can find the right owner for the house that Selvig Built it is Brint and his team! :shock:
