What a bunch of nonsense. Spallina is the best coach in the women's game and yes recruiting is a part of coaching but a lot of factors are a part of that and are not under the coaches control. There were probably no players on the field for SBU that UNC truly recruited .He takes some first team travel players, some second and third team travel players and makes them better players. Anyone with knowledge of the college game knows that if Spallina were the coach at UNC or Notre Dame etc he would already have a couple championships. That said his antics are ridiculous and he coaches his team to be overly physical, found it interesting that a player he pushed to be at the US team tryouts barely plays for his team.
Agreed also think all these freshman should red shirt losing so much time and jumping into college is unfair
Redshirting is not as simple as it sounds... Coaches and players have to make hard decisions. This is not D1 Football. 12 scholarships "max" per team. If a current senior who has a scholarship wants to come back next year, the coach has to agree to offer the scholarship which means an incoming freshmen or underclass player who was told they will receive $$ could be out of luck.
This year the NCAA is allowing programs to offer more than the NCAA limit but that is only if the institution is willing to fund the additional scholarships. I'm sure the Big Time (ACC, BIG 10 and maybe the PAC12) funded this year but not sure about other conferences.
