I don't remeber names for sure but lets just say that there will be an international flavor to the roster. Jody is working on several more additions and stated she is going global to get the kind of players that usually end up at the big name schools.

Yes, we could use a post presence, but that won't necessarily make us or break us in Valley play.

My prediction (strictly my opinion with no facts to base it on) HCJA coaches next year, wins the Valley and moves on. The team that is left will be in a major rebuilding year.

Ericka is just a sophomore point guard and in the class of 2016, so this is an early commit. Her only offers to date have been from the Shocks and from Pitt State. Of course, at this early juncture that may not mean to much. OTOH, we have a ways to go until Ericka's verbal is fulfilled. Not sure how big Ericka is although as a sophomore she may not be done growing anyway.
Interesting that Ericka was attracted to Wichita State because of their up-tempo style. Kind of the opposite of how South plays according to Bob Lutz. However, he does call Ericka unflappable.
I believe Jody also has made offers (made some time ago) to Ericka's teammates. 6-0 Junior Kirea Rogers (Class of 2015) and 6-2 Soph Kendrian Elliott (Class of 2016).

Originally posted by oldtimewomen's hoopcoach View PostCoaches make verbal offers regularly. The kids can say yes and then not commit and the coaches can offer then change their mind. Nothing is formal until a contract is signed. Still good to see local recruiting.
If Ericka blows up in the next couple of years who knows what other offers may be coming her way that could change her mind or if she just becomes a little less family oriented as teenagerism starts to consume her and she just wants to get away from home and spread her wings as the majority of scholarship athletes tend to do. I certainly don't have this one in the done deal column.
But I agree that it's nice to see at least an attempt to recruit local kids. As the article pointed out the last City League player to sign with the Lady Shocks was Taylor Steven in 2004. It appears Jody believes she needs to get on the local kids early to have any chance to keep them home.Last edited by 1972Shocker; April 23, 2014, 09:53 PM.
