Re: we are going in the wrong direction
I think everything touched in this thread is relevant.
Regarding this year's team: We are very young and are having to rely on some very young players at key positions. that makes for growing pains but that could bode well for the future....
except, we have no way of knowing if we're recruiting the ahthletes we need to recruit. At some point you have to ask, is the staff developing these players to their true potential? And if they aren't why aren't they? And if they are, then we need to recruit players with higher ceilings for development. Will we be sitting here two years from now and still be talking about how we're relying on young players? Our current juniors were called on to make contributions when they were frosh and with that expereince, i would think we would have a better product on the court.
I don't live in Fargo, I don't have any inside info into the staff or players but I get the hunch something is going on. The Women's Basketball blog, which in the past has had stories on the team, info pieces, even goofy trivial information on a pretty regular basis hasn't been updated for over a month. There are not a lot of "special interest" stories coming out on GoBison or In-forum. Heck, GoBison barely gets game information out on the site 24 hours prior to the event. I think something's going on and I think the pressure is beiing put on the staff to produce.
