Vanderbilt looks like a winner in the making under Shea Ralph - Some good observations about players that are coming back, and support from Gary Blair.
"I’d say there’s no reason that can’t return at Vanderbilt, but there are reasons. More good players, more good coaching, more investment, more quality programs in the SEC, the best conference in the sport. It won’t be easy. But if you’ve paid attention to Ralph and her first team, you see the way."
South Sider Aneesah Morrow is determined to lead DePaul to new heights, one rebound at a time
"Doug Bruno approached Nafeesah Morrow at a suburban girls’ basketball tournament. “Hey, your daughter’s a good player. Is it OK if I start recruiting her?” she recalls him asking about her ninth-grader.
More than 30 years prior, Bruno unsuccessfully tried to convince Nafeesah to play for him at DePaul. A standout forward at Chicago’s Harlan High, she needed to first attend junior college to improve her ACT score. Ultimately, to Bruno’s disappointment, she chose to compete at Nebraska, away from her hometown’s distractions. In the early 1990s, she led the Cornhuskers to their first NCAA Tournament win, earned all-conference honors and shredded opponents by averaging a double-double."
