A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Louisiana Tech head coach Brooke Stoehr announced the addition of five student-athletes to the Lady Techster basketball program following the first day of the early signing period.

Pardon me for saying so, but THIS looks like a good signing class for the Lady Techsters to build on. For the last few years I've been saying the Lady Techsters needed BETTER ATHLETES to get back to where we want them. I even pointed to the same team "huddle" photo above as an example of this shortcoming. In that photo, they just didn't look very athletic. IMO, they looked more like a group of sorority girls ready to play intramural ball.
Well, according to this story, this class appears to be very athletic, most all are described as "high energy" and physical. Three of the 5 signees are 6'3", 6'3" and 6'1 respectively.
Also, three of these signees come from very big Dallas area 6A High Schools (Allen, Plano & Martin), and all appear to be involved in AAU ball or the equivalent. One of the new signees is even a 400 meter 6A District champion in Track and Field, and another plays Australian Rules Football! WOW! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.
The story above doesn't mention any other competing scholarships offers that these players received, so we'll just have to wait and see how they do. But this APPEARS at first glance to be a good signing class, with better athletes. Congrats to Brook and Company,
I was particularly pleased to see a bit of height.Originally Posted by HogDawg

We'll see how well that translates. Can't teach height.
Good post. Hopefully these young ladies can get us back in the top 25 and competing for conference championships and NCAA tournaments.
Have to compete for conference championships and postseason bids before getting any sniff at top 25 rankings.
Very encouraging class. Hopefully they'll help elevate our program and spur optimism and confidence in ultimate success. Who knows, maybe we'll see the return of the old Champ110 with predictions of Final Four appearances!!! Hope springs eternal!
I agree with all of you on the height and energy description. Sounds like an excellent class!!!!!!!
Yeah. That's what I'm looking for. Walk, then run. I want a CUSA banner.
I understand...too early to call the results.
I, for one, am glad to welcome the NCAA Champions-elect
My boss's daughter went to Arlington-Martin with Smith. I think was probably on track team with her. Had good things to say.
. Same for me, Blue Dawg!
Me too!
