Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3131096, member: 5798"] Two words.....................[URL='https://gamecocksonline.com/coaches.aspx?rc=575&path=wbball'].[B]Jolette Law[/B][/URL]. Staley brought her on board in 2017 to bolster and solidify the Gamecock's recruiting efforts. In 24 seasons in the coaching profession, Law has been tied to success throughout her career at Tennessee (2012-17), Illinois (2007-12), Rutgers (1995-2007), Ball State (1994-95) and, now, South Carolina. [I]"Jolette's experience as a head coach and recruiter will be instrumental as we continue to compete for and win championships,”[/I] Staley said.[I] “Her basketball knowledge, energy and passion for the game are invaluable additions to our program.”[/I] Law is considered to be a very good to excellent recruiter. She was quite a BB player too. I remember reading an article here (I looked for it with no luck) in the yard that said during Boston's campus visit with her parents, they put on the "RITZ" for them by serving them a "traditional" home cooked meal from their native Virgin Islands. I believe they also had one of their countrymen there (where ever they ate dinner) along with some artifacts (decorations) from the Islands to give it the flavor and ambiance of their island home. Law knows what she's doing. You're going to see a lot of top ranked recruits going to South Carolina while she's there. It obviously worked. How else can you explain losing a highly coveted recruit that was living in your own back yard, that you worked on tirelessly for so long to South Carolina? They wanted her as much as UConn did, maybe more. [I]"I prayed a lot,"[/I] said Boston, [I]"South Carolina just felt like home." [/I] I believe that Law was very instrumental in securing a commitment from Boston. Notwithstanding that Columbia South Carolina is a lot closer to her island home than Storrs is, but so is Huntington Beach California (Katie Lou). Go figure. I too was very unhappy at the news she was committing to The Gamecocks. We lost a good one. :( [/QUOTE]
