Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4263446, member: 7748"] It was my reaction entirely. CTT had recruited heavily in the Midwest, Texas, the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Recently international players appeared on the roster. The question becomes can Coach Adair entice athletes from the Northwest to come out to Arizona. I'm not sure if I would support your reading of her record however. She took over a College of Charleston team that had gone 7 and 23 and immediately turned the program around to 16 and 16 followed by another successful season before moving on. Moving on to Georgetown she took a 4 win team to consecutive nine and nine conference records and winning records. So she has demonstrated expertise in coming in to troubled programs and turning them around. Her last two years at Delaware were outstanding. My questions revolve around her age, I would have liked the Sun Devils to have considered a younger coach perhaps in their late thirties particularly by reaching to a nonpower 5 conference for their final selection. Adair is only 7 years younger than CTT. I'm very anxious to see how she fills out her staff. Wondering if she'll bring coaches with her from Delaware. For me the key I guess is how well she can recruit. Part of the decline that CTT experienced over the last 3 years had to do with the players that she brought in. While I completely admire the quality and character of the young ladies who are Sun Devils she consistently had small guards and since Sophie Brunner and that crew left we've really not had a strong front court. CTT did however have expertise in filling that front court through the transfer portal with transfers Tapley (Southern Cal) and Giles(Rutgers) in recent years. [/QUOTE]
