Weatherspoon has no doubt the Lady Techsters can someday return to national prominence and compete with the major conferences for elite players.
"Of course we can. Look at our great tradition," she said. "But this is a rebuilding process and that's where we are.
"Look at UConn, Maryland, Rutgers, teams like that in the top 10 every year. Nobody heard of them years back. I believe it's our turn to bring the program back to where it was. It will take a little while, but we'll be just as strong. We will get there."
T-Spoon hit it right on the nail with the process of Lady Techster basketball rebuilding. I liked how she stated where UCONN, Maryland, and Rutgers once were before their national prominence today in the women's game.
We can all through Baylor in there too because we know their story and where they came from. No one expected Baylor (2005) or Maryland (2006) to win national championships and those programs took advantage of the situation...but they also played GREAT in their tournament match-ups in those years.
But I'm excited about this year's team and where they could possibly go but hope we take care of NMSU on Saturday.
