Seriously, Valpo just needs talent desperately despite the position needs. I say recruit and get someone local!
Should be all hands on deck to get Carrothers. What I heard when she transferred out of Butler was that she wanted to be back home and didn’t love the pressure of power conference D1. Hopefully those criteria still hold and that we can throw what little money we can at her too.
And if you haven’t seen her shot form, look it up. It’s really janky. Whatever works though…
The whole thing about Valpo in just about all sports is family. She would fit right in. GO GET HER!
A former NAIA national championship coach is not going to shy away from recruiting top NAIA kids. I've said it before, but from a baseball perspective, I could barely tell any difference between top NAIA and D2 guys that I played with during the summers/in-between college seasons, and our D1 teammates. Even now in old man baseball, my teammates who are former D2 can absolutely rake at times.
Coach has added her top assistant from Quincy. All the old Valpo assistants are gone from the website, no real surprise there. Hill moved on to Oakland. Edit, Whitt is back on the website as an assistant.
The Jackson move to Butler is also not surprising as their brother had already transferred there from PFW.
Butler hasn't had a winning season the last 5 seasons and either graduated or lost by transfer 10 of their top 11 players so playing time should not be a problem.
Layla Gold followed Coach Hill to Oakland where they have a coaching change and 9 in the portal. She had her moments but was wildly inconsistent.
