Some recruiting news from our Lady Gaels team as they have announced the signing of two guards. One is from Barcelona, and it is fair to say that we have a Spanish connection, and I wonder if Marina Lizerazu's success has anything to do with it. The other signee is from Minnesota. Congratulations to coach Chambers and her staff. You will like the next ep of my podcast. you are releasing ep's now?

Next Thursday. Since you are the biggest diehard, give me some specific questions to ask. In the thread, Preseason Previews, on November 6th, I listed five questions. I'd now throw in a question on the RP effect on spreading the news about Iona, and whether that helps in recruiting? Also, has the Women's team been shut down from practicing? I'm sure others have questions they want to ask. And maybe more on our Spanish connection.

That's actually a very good question, on whether the Pitino effect has had any impact on the lady Gaels recruiting

Two more questions for Women's BB. MAAC related: 1. This seems like the first year in a very long time, that neither Marist or Quinnipiac were picked to win the MAAC, by the coaches. Is that an indication that the two programs have taken a step back, or have other teams improved significantly. Or both? 2. In the last couple of years I think that you could describe Stella Johnson of Rider as a superstar in the League. Does anyone fit that description, this year?

Read the sports headlines for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, as I do just about every morning. And there was a picture of Iona coach, RP and his call for May Madness.

Because of Pitino, Iona is getting more media visibility here in St Louis than I have seen in my time here, with the exception of NCAA week when Iona is in the tournament. Even in the latter case, it is usually "Iona is in the tournament" and move on. This is a more active Iona presence (for want of a better term) than we have seen in the past. "When Iona/Pitino talks, people listen." Maybe we are moving from the dance floor to the Dais??

This isn't my first rodeo. Second question might be answered organically.

Guy, excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand what you mean about the second question.

Guy, excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand what you mean about the second question. It means I think it will come up in the conversation without me asking directly about it.

Another question/request for Women's BB. Will you consider showing a video or two from your practice sessions? It will introduce all of your new players to the Iona community.
