Landlord Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Following Amy Williams during her 4 years at USD I am confident saying she will be successful at UNL. If there is any reason for uncertainty it would be that she never fielded a team comprised entirely of her own recruits at USD - this year's senior class that led the team to the WNIT title was entirely holdovers from the previous staff. That being said the underclassmen she did recruit seem to hold their own and the bench contributed very consistently to the team. Interesting. So often we hear the horrors of multiyear contracts but sometimes it works in our favor. Within the past month or so South Dakota finally caught up to the other 49 and now allows state employees to have multi-year contracts. Just in time to let the face of USD's most successful program leave without a buyout of any kind. As an alumnus of USD and a fan of both schools, I am both saddened and happy about this hire. As odd as it may seem, South Dakota's WBB team were the ones to finally motivate and awaken the fan base to come out with an overwhelming response during the WNIT tournament. Brilliant move by Herbster to make strong bids and keep the games at home. Williams fostered pride with her on-court success, recruiting acumen (not always an easy school to recruit to) and really, her personality. She has high standards and works hard, but her players are very close to her as well. You can see it in interviews, press conferences, and on the court. She gives and gets back respect. She will be missed.... But lucky for me I can continue to cheer for her teams! Great hire! What ever happened to Ryun Williams at USD? He was a really good coach at Wayne and really appreciated by players/fans/personnel, myself included. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ryun is at Colorado State. 1 mil buyout may have been a factor. He's having success there too. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Both Ryun and Amy recruited Nebraska well. Think of USD And SDSU as the NDSU of WBB in terms of mining the region for kids that are just below P5 level. And in some cases overlooked kids Quote Link to comment
