[LIST] [*]My McGraw's Bench colleague, Raoul (not that one), who follows Midwest Hoops a bunch, thinks Whelan was "only" making some $550,000 this year, as opposed to Duffy's $750-$800,00 base at Marquette. For B1G comparison, he also thinks Coquese Washington is making around $750K base at Rutgers. So, Minnesota, if they want to get up to speed with B1G rivals and/or Big East, for that matter, need to up the ante. [*]His suggestion? Dawn Plitzuweit, who was earning $250K at South Dakota, before heading to West Virginia at some $500K. And she's done a pretty good job in a "new" area of the country. After those years in the Plains, she obviously has contacts in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc. [*]The shelves aren't bare at Marquette either: Duffy had two of her recruits earn All-freshmen honors and Liz Karlen has improved every year at the power forward slot. Like a few posters here, I think Duffy should work on developing that program and keep her eyes out very selectively (Hint: I'm thinking Northwestern in a few years). However, her agent....;) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
