Sug Sutton was a Top 10 recruit coming out of high school -- #2 PG and #6 overall. The problem with her game has been, just as with the other 10 HS All-Americans we once had on our roster, LACK OF PLAYER DEVELOPMENT by the coaching staff. I don't know what level of talent we think we need to lead us to elite status.
Hell! When Celeste starts the game we've still got FIVE (count them) HS All-Americans in our starting lineup:
Higgs (2015 #7)
Holmes (2016 #2)
Sutton (2016 #6)
Collier (2018 #2)
Taylor (2019 #40)
Who ELSE has that?! And, if they do, what's the state of THEIR program?
Seriously...our staff has failed miserably. This is why, as we can well see, the elite level talent has stopped coming to Texas. It won't change until the staff has been overhauled. Even with that... who is willing and able to come in and do something with whatever scraps might be left? I'm very concerned about the future of our program.
Oh... and before anybody starts with the whole "rankings don't mean anything blah, blah, blah..." go tell that to Geno, Mulkey, Tara, Muffett, Walz, Gary Blair, Schaefer, Kelly Graves, Brenda Frese, Dawn Staley, and EVERY OTHER Div I coach.
Just sayin'
