The Molly Miller cult is starting to closely resemble the Singletarians from football years.
One might wonder if Molly Miller was the be all end all that our fans want her to be, why didn't OU or anyone other P5 program searching for a coach have her at the top of their list. So, schools with mid-tier programs don't have her at the top of their list but one of the small handful of elite program's fan bases think she's our basketball messiah.
Agree
I was wondering who else had her targeted as the their next coach and what top level ballers has she recruited and signed
Who else had Ryan McGuyre targeted as their VB coach? And yet with only NAIA head coaching experience he managed to recruit Yossiana Pressley and lead a BU team to the Final Four as the overall #1 seed. You recruit at the level at which your team plays. If you are going to win, you are going to have to get talent for whatever level that is. You don't win at D2 without getting good D2 talent and competing against other D2 programs to get it.
And forget about saying a D2 coach or a low or mid major doesn't have recruiting connections. In WBB there are thousands of AAU and HS players playing on the same clubs as the elite players, being coached by the very same AAU and HS coaches that aren't going to play big-time D1 ball, but are going to go play somewhere and their coaches have relationships with those other college coaches too. And those AAU and HS coaches know who develops their players best and takes good care of them. A coach that went 67-1 with a NC at D2 over 2 years got good players from good AAU teams from coaches who know who they are and had elite talent on those teams too.
