So hopefully Rozentale helps out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it that we recruit better (or easier) internationally or there are better players internationally? Is the USF brand better overseas than in the U.S.? At risk of being labeled a hateful, xenophobic SOB, what's the reason for what appears to be an increased reliance on international players? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCONN, ND, and those other blue bloods. I think the pool of players nationally is limited and the really good ones all go to the same schools. So to fill things out we look to Europe. WBB recruiting seems more loop sided than football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a small number of D1 high school seniors every year and the really good ones are scooped up by about six programs not named South Florida.

He’s been unable to sell the program to top level US players. Compare CJF’s recruiting to Mississippi State’s Vic Schaefer. MSU was far from a powerhouse destination when Vic took over in 2012. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...you’re not going to get to the top with too many Euros. How did Vic Schaefer down in Starkville, manage to get to the top in just six years at MSU?

Solid get for Jose, she should be a contributor from early on. She's from a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere, so the cultural transition will undoubtedly be a big one for her, though to be fair, she has played for the capital team and national team. Looking forward to seeing her play this fall. Born 5 days before the millenium change, makes me feel old! Heck, I've got SOCKS older than she is!!!
