He was getting Top 25-caliber classes as the recruiting coordinator as Missouri, so he's got a track record for having a knack for that sort of thing.
They did sign one kid in the early period, Courtney Duever from Austin, Texas (right in Texas State's neighborhood). She plays at Westlake, a 5A school, and they are 24-6 so far this season. In browsing around I found a few games where she had 14 points and 10 rebounds, 13 points and 11 rebounds, etc.
And then I also found this...

Although the Westlake starters played limited minutes, they made the most of their opportunities. Senior post Courtney Duever, who ended the contest with a game-highs in points (14) and rebounds (10), had a remarkable first period that included 10 points, nine rebounds, four steals, three blocked shots, three assists and countless smiles.
Sounds like a good addition for next year and will help with frontcourt options. No telling what else he'll end up bringing in, though I would suspect at least one more guard.
With the nine suited up, the two redshirting, the one signee thus far ... that's a pretty good 12 already. Anything on top of that would be spectacular.
I'm curious to see what can be accomplished when he and his staff are recruiting girls to a 20-win team, and not selling the program coming off two seasons of combined 13-45.
