Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3461995, member: 6620"] One of the issues with Tsipis' predecessor -- Bobbi Kensie -- is that she didn't click with the Wisconsin HS/AAU communities, whether by choice or whatever. That certainly had a lot to do with none of the top recruits you mention, as well the three- and four-star recruits that went to Wisconsin-Green Bay to solidify them a mid-major power. Wisconsin was very mujch in the mix with Kapinus, but she chose to go to Penn State with new coach Carolyn Krieger, who was recruiting her heavily while Krieger was at Marquette. To help with this catching up in Wisconsin, JT hired Kayla Karius as his co-recruiting coordinator from South Dakota. The Wisconsin native was an all-Horizon pick when she played as Kayla Tetschlag at Wisc.-Green Bay. Have not seen the direct results of this in Wisconsin yet, but the idea is it will build up the ties that bind for the future. That was a miss by Wisconsin, for sure, but Bobbi Kensie was coach then. Tsipis didnt' come aboard until 2016 while Megan was a frosh at Iowa in 2015. Still expect Wisconsin to give him another year... [/QUOTE]
