Schaffer has been busy.
#1 High school gal in the state, Jazmun Holmes, 5'9" combo guard ( Top 100 nationally in some publications ) excellent ball handler/scorer
Top 20 Natonal JUCO recruit ( most publications ) Jazmin Spears 6'1" w/f, very powerful, great touch and range and has proven to a banger down low.
Top 30 national center, Zion Campbell, 6'4" very long arms, extremely quick for her size, shot blocker/rebounder, developmental ball handling and good shooter.
Yep -- he's going to compete for national titles here. Soon. This current team has Sweet 16-level ability, possibly Elite 8. And it's almost all freshmen and sophs. The next 2 teams after this one have a chance to truly compete for titles IMO. I can't imagine making a better hire in that sport...
He and his staff can recruit. Jazz Holmes was heavily recruited by Florida and LSU and she came to State. It helped that her dad and mom were both former athletes at MSU but she will play immediately and we have our sights on the best Junior in the state at West Harrison high who is one of Jazz's best friends.

Oh he will...especially if he has the postseason run I know this team is capable of. If we could get to the point of hosting the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, we could have a helluva good time in the Hump.Quote:

It is quite sad, sometimes, when people refuse to watch a game because it's women's. Sure they may not have flashy dunks or anything like that, but damn if it isn't just as exciting.Quote:
