Drake has a nice program lately
I like Collins for his successful head coaching experience and I like Love because he coached under Amy Williams for the past 7 seasons.
Love or Pohlman would be my picks but I’m not knowledgeable on any of these. Seem like good candidates
Thank you for the info. And i believe this proves my point to el chapo. If there are 40 d 1 girls in the cities right now ndsu won’t have a chance with how many? Very few.
Ndsu hiring a coach from the cities probably doesn’t change that since there is are schools from all over already with access and inroads. Breaking into that market to recruit is going to much harder than he thinks. It’s not like football where the gophers don’t offer and the wayzata player comes to the best game around in football.
But you only need 1 or 2 a year, right???
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that at least 2 of the candidates are recruiting coordinators. My 2cents is that if the new Head Coach doesn’t have experience in recruiting Minnesota, especially the metro, then make sure you hire an assistant who does have experience/connection to Minnesota.
My point with Lakes, it isn't as easy has he wants to make it sound. "Hire someone from the cities, and we will get TC ladies to come to NDSU". Lakes you should come to the North Tartan AAU tournament end of July. You can stay at your brothers place, games are at Bloomington and Hopkins high schools. There will be 80 to 120 coaches (D1 down to NAIA) there looking at same players. Lindsay Whalen was there last year, Brew from UND, don't recall seeing Maren but wasn't looking for her either. This is a regional tournament. Strong Iowa presence teams from Milwaukee as well. The competition for the top tier young ladies is pretty high and they have options.
As for getting 1 or 2 a year. you would think so. I don't know what the number of Div 1 young ladies in the TC's is. but there are probably more schools looking at them then there are available athletes. Another issue to consider when it comes to high school ladies basketball. For many of them you are competing with Volleyball as well.
A young lady on NDSU team had offers from the east coast for BB. Choose VB. So that limits the pool as well.
