Not saying the coach at Marquette didn't do a great job, but she WAS handed a complete freshman AAU team that was one of the top 1A teams in the state their first year in high school and went something like 21-4 that year with all the losses to good 3A and 4A teams. Obviously they were able to win the title two years later, but that probably has as much to do with simple maturity as anything.
As for the twins following her, I'm not sure I would expect them to follow anyone given the track record. In addition, it's hard to gauge how good they will be at the next level because they haven't played a ton of competition at the 1A level and they only have one season of regional level AAU under their belts at the high school level. The "star" on that team was a kid that is playing for Nebraska next year.
Short story is I wouldn't beat the administration up for going a different direction. Hopefully the new coach has more success than the previous coach.

While it can't hurt to re-recruit the twins, I think the chances are slim, even if you believe that coming to Valpo would be a step up from Saint Louis...
As I understand it, they are playing with Midwest Elite's EYBL squad over the spring/summer AAU season. If that is the case, they are likely looking for a P5 conference offer, as virtually every player in the EYBL circuit receives one. Rumor had it that prior to their de-commitment from SL they were not even going to play AAU this year because there was no need from a recruiting perspective....

All that having been said, who knows whether they show well in the EYBL circuit, plus they have multiple peripheral connections to VU (their high school coach, the parents of their Marquette teammates, etc.), so the chances are better than zero if Valpo offers them. I just wouldn't count on it...
