Any progress on Bears' possibly landing Jones, Jackson or Robee?
Geno, Dawn Staley, Tara, Muffin and Kelly Graves. You can be pretty certain that you are going to win, get better, and realize your potential under any of those coaches.GOLDEN said:

With the men, you have the chance that they aren't going to be there 4 years...with the women, that's not true. A big in the women's game is going to go where they can play, not sit for 3 years, and/or get 10 minutes a game.HoopDreams said:
i think Cal WBB has the same issue with recruiting bigs as Cal MBB
not a large pool of high major bigs that qualify academically, and when they do, they tend to go to the powerhouse teams (including stanford)
I think we need to adjust by loading up on athletic, guards and wings who can shoot, and perhaps some undersized athletic bigs, who can defend, rebound, and hopefully shoot from 3 to create mis-matches ... then our guards can collapse to assist when the ball goes into the post. on rebounds, push the tempo which should favor the smaller team
i know it's easier said then done, but not sure we will sign another KA anytime soon

Signing talented Guards and Wings is what the Bears have been doing for the last two classes. They've either overlooked pursuing bigs, or had all their eggs in the Angel Jackson basket. What's Plan "C" or "D"?
You can negate height with speed at least that is the answer from U-Conn fans about Oregon State. Besides someone said there you can have a who roster stuffed with bigs but it is still five players on a court at one time.bearwbbfan said:
Oregon State needs to share some bigs with Cal!
They added another 5* in 6-6 #19 Kennedy Brown.
With 6'9, 6'7, 6'6, and 6'3 in their 2018 and 2019 classes plus and another 6'3 in 2017, we are going to need to add some bigs to keep up with them.
Because Rueck is one of the best coaches in the game ... not to put down LG, as few coaches anywhere have done what Rueck has done.CalFanatic said:
How on gods green earth do we get so consistently out recruited by a school in Corvallis, Oregon. I'm at a loss

Bring her to LA and she is just an above average player.
Recruits also probably look at Anigwe's
development, or lack of, versus Gulich's development when looking at schools. There is no reason that Anigwe should have been outplayed by Gulich last season. I am looking forward to Anigwe having a big season season and hopefully returns to NPOY caliber.
Disagree looking at it one way and then looking at it from anotherperspective I suppose your point can be seen too. As far as national accomplishments and end results then , meh! Falter a year and accomplishments at schools such as Oregon State can evaporate fast and are hard to regain after that. I don't think a Rueck team at OSU will ever be considered a U-Conn west now or in the near future. At Stanford he could be that person.ClayK said:, as few coaches anywhere have done what Rueck has done.CalFanatic said:

That crap hole leads the Pac 12 in attendance. Some people like the environment in Corvallis. They would prefer it to living in the Bay Area. Corvallis is much more desirable place to live than were Uconn. is located. Not that he will do it but why couldn't Reuck turn Oregon St into Uconn West? Uconn has little to offer except Geno and the program he produced.GOLDEN said:Disagree looking at it one way and then looking at it from anotherperspective I suppose your point can be seen too.

As far as being able to recruit to a crap hole arena in Corvallis then yes. If he does not get an interview at a place like Stanford in a few years then something is wrong at Stanford. Just being at Oregon State holds a coach like Rueck back. Just the way it is.

What Rueck has done at OSU has been quite remarkable. They almost dropped their WBB Program and were holding open tryouts... 6 years later were
playing in a final 4.
That lineup may be taller than what the Cal men may be putting on the court.bearwbbfan said:
