She has her girls in now and they are all highly rated and recruited.... so now you can judge her fairly and if we still look horrible, I'll be the 1st to speak up... but u have to give her that chance
I?m going to try and look at the points as objectively as possible. This season we lost J Danberry, C Bibby, and A Espinoza-Hunter. There were times Coach Schaefer?s last season that I thought we would have been sunk if J Danberry had not gained another year of eligibility. Likewise, in hindsight, C Bibby also ended up helping a lot. However, in fairness, she also lost a lot of minutes as the season progressed.
This season we gained S Cooks and M Hayes. Hayes turned out to be a very solid player and probably was about an even swap with Bibby. Therefore the biggest keys were the lose of J Danberry and the change in the system. Coach Schaefer was also bringing in size and a seasoned point guard so he recognized we had holes to fill that never got filled.
However we went from 27-6(13-3) to 10-9(5-7). That is a monster drop from the previous consistency. Further the body language from the team was terrible.
That is the reason I am extremely guarded with any hope she can turn this around. Don?t get me wrong. I?m pulling for her because her success is MSU?s success. She has had a great offseason too. I still just don?t know if I believe she is the one that can get the job done.
