Can someone comment on this. Finally something is being said in the media about how terrible NDSU women's basketball is. I remember when we won national championships with local girls. The house was packed. Its hard to believe how far it is fell.
Following is taken from the end of Dom's article:
"We've got four North Dakota kids on the roster, two from Fargo, those are who I'm excited about, who found us." Walseth said. (They found us??? What the hell does that mean? We did not recruit them?)
Recruiting local kids isn't the end all, be all, but you can't ignore your own backyard. That has killed NDSU and it may still hurt for a while yet.
NDSU deputy athletic director Todd Phelps, who oversees women's basketball wrote in Walseth's evaluation that the "women's basketball program is continuing to take steps towards being a contender in the Summit League, recognizing it will take time to achieve that."
What the hell is he watching. It is only getting worse and they are not steps closer to being a contender.
I'm not sure if Phelps and I are watching the same product.
Walseth has a year left on her contract.
Is NDSU willing to wait longer (or buy her out) or keep seeing an empty SHAC and recruits go elsewhere?
That's the question NDSU has to answer. I think it is a question the media and more fans need to be asking the powers to be. Matt Larsen this is on you at this point.
