What's going on with our Lady Saints?

[musicman]

I know our women's team created a lot of excitement last season. Has anyone seen or heard anything about how things are going with our ladies at this time? How do our freshmen, RSs and other new members look? Any info would be great.

Monday I watched them scrimmage . It was good to see 12 players on the floor. Team seems to have good 3 point shooters. Tuesday they were running suicides etc for the conditioning coach (Dan?). They don't have the height and size of the Volleyball team but have more foot speed. I was at the ARC hoping to catch the men's team . Nice day so I watched the baseball team having an intra squad game.

Anyone know why the Women players eligible to be redshirted last season are not showing up as RS in the roster (assuming Siena hasn't applied yet and/or won't). I think Logan & Edoka would be eligible due to injuries & Gibson sat out for academics. I know they didn't RS (or request a 5th year for Booth or Krogh, so I'm not sure the Women's program wants to use the RS and/or pay for 5th yrs. Just an assumption; anyone know the facts?

Out apply for RS lye in career. Player not stay anyway and its only relevant then. Also with lack of grad programs it happens less with ladies

I'm still not convinced that the lack of grad programs has any impact. It's been discussed before that player athletes can simply take additional courses towards another degree. Besides, and I could be wrong on this but, I think some (possibly many) do not graduate in 4 years and actually take 4.5 - 5 years to actually graduate. I remember players who stuck around their 5th yr to complete their classes even though they weten't playing.

I think there is something to be said that the player may my want to stay and/or the coach may not want to offer in order to bring in someone possibly more talented (which is sort of odd since it'd be a 5th yr against a frosh - meaning the frosh must be really athletic or talented.

In this case we're talking about Siena's two PGs and a very athletic Forward who are eligible to be RS'd.

Does anyone, in the know, know why these three are not being RS'd or if the coaches are simply waiting to decide to RS them later?

I disagree for woman. We had two graduate and they are playing for different schools this year. They both seem to love Siena so why not stay. They can get a masters paid for somewhere else that will better position them in the job market - sound slike they are getting good advice. I love Sien but if I graduated and was able to go play another year and get a grad degree at a good school that can position me better in the market place I would probably dot hat.

I only brought up the question as to why some lady Saints are not being RS'd. The reason is some people have expressed the opinion that the coach or coaching staff didn't grant RS for the prior coach's recruits. Now the lady Saints I'm referring to are the new coaching staff's recruits, so why aren't they being RS'd?

One would assume that if the coach didn't want to RS the prior cosche's recruits they'd be quick to RS their own.

I'mlooking for someone in the know (as opposed to people's opinions) as to why the three lady Saints are not being RA'd.

To clarify, I only brought this up due to a few people at the end of last season implying that coach didn't want them back. I'm not sure how much those people knew what they were talking about (facts versus their opinions). I was looking for anyone in the know that knew.

I could sort of understand those thinking that for coach's non recruits but then why would she also do that to her recruits?

Just trying to put the rumors to rest if anyone knows.

I realize Siena doesn't have to apply for medical RS right away and can wait until their SR yr. Just curious.
