How have the women looked latley. Have they added anyone in the late signing period? Tons of girls leaving programs and commitments this year, Arizona and USC to name a few. Any chance that we pick up some help?

We shoud look to add another post player. I know we have Karros scholarship available. We really lacked some depth in the post.

I agree ironlions, we need a big. Every team in league is getting bigger. I am not sure if we needed another guard but I found this today.
There are more holes to fill, as the Gauchos are graduating five seniors, and two young players — forward Ashlee Brown and guard Courtney Collishaw — have decided to transfer. “Recruiting is ongoing,” Gottlieb says. “I don’t know if ‘off’ is the proper term for ‘off-season.’ It seems I’m spending even more time on the job now.”
The departure of Brown and Collishaw sowed some unease among the Gaucho faithful. Brown is a strong post player who made the Big West All-Freshman team in 2008, but she found herself riding the bench much of the past season. Collishaw had trouble catching up after her first season was wiped out by a torn ACL.
Collishaw is heading for Loyola Marymount, which had been her second choice when French successfully recruited her to UCSB. “I wanted to come to Santa Barbara since the eighth grade,” Collishaw says. “There’s a lot of sadness about leaving. There was just too much change. It’s a shock to go from high school to Division I in the first place, and then — after I got used to everything — to have a new coaching staff, a new athletic director, a new trainer. It was hard to handle. Coach Gottlieb understood, as a player herself, where I was coming from.”

I'm really glad someone broke this story about Collishaw transfering to LMU. I heard some info about it a while ago but didn't want to post until it was published. Collishaw is a stellar addtion to LMU. With Cowling, Collishaw and Nicolas we will have three four star recruits on the roster. girlshoops.scout.com/a.z?s=209&p=8&c=1&nid=2198594I expect a lot from the team next year. I believe Collishaw sat out last year due to injury- I wonder if she can start playing right away? Go Lions

Does she have to Redshirt one year? Or can she play? Has a release from her former team?

Now we need that 4 star post player to get us to the next level. Why are we not able to recruit a big to go with all the great guards/wings we have?
