Nice follow up! Some people are never happy but BF has done great work at Ames.
He does have some top notch talent coming in and like you, I think recruiting Texas is a little tougher in WBB than MBB or FB. Look at all the talent being mined out of Missouri and Kansas in girls hoops. KSU is making a powerhouse out of their in state recruiting.
I think we climb back to the top now!

after tip off and sit in the arena circle mid court. The turn around that he has delivered is what legends are made of. Even last year in the rebuilding year, ISU womens games were exciting competitive and Hilton Magic was very much alive. Even the best coaches will have class or two that don't pan out and go through a few years that are "substandard" for them.
Bill has managed to put together two very good recruiting classes back to back and if you attended the games last year you would be very excited about the future from the players he brought in. With that the best incoming player last year had to take a medical redshirt b/c of a herniated disk. Rachel Pierson will bring us back to the Angie Welle days of a dominent inside game to set up our outside shooting.
The future is very bright for the womens program and while Tiffany Jackson isn't in a Cyclone uniform, ISU will be back in the upper echelon of the Big 12.
I would love to have the players you listed on our roster...but so would UConn and Tennessee. Because they aren't on our campus doesn't mean that we didn't recruit them.
BTW...no guesses on who has the second longest streak ahead of ISU in consecutive games with at least one three point basket made???? [/b][/quote]
