    Default Re: Who is the next head coach for women's basketball at NDSU

    I am new here as a poster, but have followed this board for several years. I specifically joined to share some thoughts about your team as it relates to my daughter’s recruitment process. She plays for one of your SL competitors to the south, but was “recruited” by MW and NDSU a few years ago, if you can call it that.... Yes, we did get a call from MW on September 1st of her junior year. But that was it, until the end of May the following year. In between September and May, my daughter got recruited by approximately 50 division 1 schools and had offers from a dozen of them. We had nonstop contact from coaches of all levels at about two dozen schools. We did unofficial visits, home visits, and then official visits at two schools. In the end of May, my daughter got a call from MW. This call lasted about 45 minutes, and at the end of the call there was a scholarship offer. No personal home visit, no “get to know you” phase, nothing. We thought it very strange, and my daughter and I looked at each other and said “I wonder who just said no to them “. Eventually, my daughter told MW no, and MW was very upset that we were choosing one of the schools that we had been talking to for nine months. If this is the way she was treating all potential recruits, it’s no wonder that your team is in the position that it is in right now. You need a coach that can actively recruit girls and make them feel like they are special and that they were chosen. Not to make them feel like a third or fourth choice after everyone else said no.
