Coaches have been impressed with transfer Lou Lopez Sénéchal so far. Here’s why

[GEAinAustin]

Why Morgan Valley ? Just a hunch. She has become the point person in recruiting and during games Auriemma is constantly communicating with her, questioning, deferring, referring, be it positive or negative. Again, just an observation. Maybe this topic needs it's own thread, as personal favorites are numerous.

Jamelle Elliott, Next HC! Predict Lou will be timely, special and great!

Let's get back to the topic. A third deadly shooting option from the 2 or 3 position, or even at the 4 against smaller teams, is a real advantage and very utilitarian. There are so many combos that can be on the floor at different times that it can make other teams dizzy. Who defends who? I also like the fact that a third lock down outside shooting guard ( I exclude Nika from this category pending a look see in the beginning of the season), means rest and helping with foul trouble. I think she will be a great asset and makes us better instantly. I really can't wait.

Wow, 25 posts and about 5 of them about the subject...Lou.

Actually that's pretty good for a non-controversial topic here.

It's pre-season. Our BY focus just isn't there yet.

I subscribed to them last year but I didn't see a lot of content there that I cared about. It was easy to unsubscribe online though.

That’s impressive. Those ADD meds the Boneyard has been handing out must be doing some good.

Agree. Shea Ralph or Carla Berube.

I don’t see Shea leaving Vanderbilt see looks to be the type who wants to build her own program into prominence where Carla has done that with Princeton in the Ivy to pretty much the pinnacle of where she will get that team. If she’s looking for a national championship UConn would be the place for her. And she has shown she can get lesser talent to the big dance year after year. How far she could take top talent would be interesting to see.

Who passes up UCONN? It's already prominence, it's built in recruiting, it's everything everybody else wants to be.

The big issue/question for Shea is what the ceiling is for Vanderbilt, especially after Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC. Will Vandy end up being buried in the bottom half of the SEC year after year? Probably. Shea is a very competitive person who is accustomed to winning.

Carla will be 50 by the time Geno is expected to retire. Will she be content to finish her career in a low-pressure environment like the Ivy league or does she have greater ambitions?

I suspect both Shea and Carla have thought about these questions and probably know the answers.

The coach defines the program. How many schools have won wcbb titles with 2 different head coaches?

Except being in a P5 conference. That does, and will, matter.
