I'm pleasantly surprised when reading about her background. She seems like a homerun hire as an assistant.SFCALBear72 said:
She has a great background with stints at Kentucky (SEC), Oregon State, UCLA and was responsible for high-profile recruits at all three of those stops.

I presume she is replacing Heidi Heintz who is going ????
That is really true. And hope that someone will focus at least half time in the off-season on international players and setting up more contacts there.CalWSportsFan said:
Given the new recruiting environment in college basketball with the portal etc. I can see why another "coach" is needed just to stay on top of all that.....and just focus on recruiting while the rest of the staff can deal with day-to-day coaching, practice, games, etc...
You couldn't just leave that comment about the east coast go. You had to add your "negative" spin once again. Maybe she recruited the east coast for other schools. UCLA (7 years there), Oregon State, come to mind.annarborbear said:
She was a very good player and has lots of experience, so I hope she will make some important contributions. But the East Coast ties issue is probably a bit exaggerated since she spent only one year at Kentucky before their head coach was let go after two losing seasons.

Out of respect for Devin Shallowhorn ("my source") who made the initial comment about the east coast recruiting.annarborbear said:SFCALBear72 said:You couldn't just leave that comment about the east coast go.

As you say, It is possible that she did some east coast recruiting while she coached on the west coast. But she did not have a long stay in the east herself. Not sure why you are offended by the facts. I would most like to see her get going on the international front since it is hard to do well in the portal if you have not been winning.

Well, as I'm posting this, Eliza Pierre is on her way to Sydney, Australia based upon her Instagram post.
Jenny Huth is headed up to Roseville and then to Phoenix this weekend.
Please read the posts above. No one is leaving.3Cats4CAL said:
On Cal WBB Facebook page it has a post from 1 hour ago showing all four assistant coaches including Heidi Heintz going to different states for recruiting.
Isn't it more important that she has West Coast ties? I'm missing the significance of this...annarborbear said:

People here complain about the staff to high heaven but didn't know they were only operating at 60% capacity last year haha.
Says a lot about the state of the program that they couldn't afford to fill the coaching capacity.
Why is it that you think it was a lack of funds which determined whether an assistant coach was hired last year?calumnus said:awesomebuffalo said:

Knowlton mismanagement.
