Great players make great coaches. And by that I mean having great players. You need the horses to win consistently, and that means being a good recruiter. I think the jury is still out on Shannon in that component of her job. Does she know the game, absolutely, but she needs to prove she can identify and land the blue chippers.
I am going to be watching Katrina Dowd for the same thing. Unreal talent as a player but I am curious to see if she can draw kids to Eugene, Ore.
