This confronts the issue of AJ deciding to leave,hope he doesn't,but if it does happen.
This is the scary part of athletics,facing the great unknown.Finding a good coach,at the mid-major level is a crap shoot,it's much less risky at the major conferences level,as they start the pool at a far greater number of coaches with experience and have much better resume's .What concerns me most is will AJ leaving dry up our Minn recruiting,that we rely on so much currently?Will AJ want to close the boarders?Did our current players sign on mainly because of the University,or the coach (program)?Lets face it,AJ is has been the face of SDSU womens basketball since the D1 move.I think AJ would remain classy and not take any of our team with him,even though he could use them at Minn.I think our current players would want to remain together too,can't see this tight knit group wanting to splinter apart.
Will the next coach be able to carry on with Minn recruiting,or even have a desire to do so?Or even SD recruits,with USD now Div1.Everything could change or nothing could change.Coaching changes will be disruptive,no doubt about it,but to what extent?How much will it affect the program and how well will our current players adapt to changes?The sheer number of questions with no definitive answers is somewhat troubling.
