To all women athletes pondering travel: Give us, and you and your teammates, continuity...hope...sisterhood...old school/deep values adhesiveness. Gill Coliseum wonder. A future ascendant, wherever it journeys.
The Portal is a lure, a possibility, an ephemera, a demon (!).
Corvallis is roots, fam, temperate rainforest, underdog indefagatibtilty, northwest immortality...
Love ya, whatever you choose.

Yes, because nothing leads to success like players that don’t want to be here, but staying anyway. If they want to leave, see ya! The coach has to create an environment where players don’t want to leave. Yes, it’s harder with the portal, but that is what is required of a coach in the current environment. Oh, and only Sasquatch has NW immortality. |

I would like to suggest that any of you that attend these last two games make time for the 8-minute mingle. Obviously to send off those that are walking on Senior day but for another reason too. Make a point to share with the younger players how much you have enjoyed watching them play. And if they are so inclined to post on social media their intentions to STAY.
GO BEAVS!

You know, sewingbeaver, I find your message so much more refreshing and encouraging than the one before it written by Judge Smails.
Maybe it's just me....But I'm guessing it might be others, too....Those 8-minute mingles have a force of their own.....
GO BEAVS!!

I’m not saying you don’t show appreciation to the players that are here. I just don’t want players to stay here that aren’t committed to he program and want to leave. Mingle away…… |

Judge, When I saw the title of this post "please stay" I thought you were leaving us.

You are 1000% correct in your above observation and evaluation of the current situation.
I offer as an example the following.
The Gonzaga women's program has had zero defections to the portal I believe since the portal has begun.
Over and over the sentiment that is expressed by players (from star to those that play very little) is that they know the Coaches care about them as both players and people.
Compare that with what has happened at OSU and it is fair to question the Coaching situation!
Go Beavs!

Almost every school in the PAC-12 has had portal issues...elite programs as well as not elite programs. Arizona,uo,osu,etc. Only Stanford,who has an incredible degree was immune from it.
Players going into the portal has nothing to do with the coaches not caring about them as people. Every player has their own reasons why they move on. Not every player is a good fit at every school. It's rediculous to blame the coaches at each school for the portal situation,unless you know specific instances of coaches actions drove off players. I've met all the coaches at osu,and they care about the players as people as well as players. Good people who are going to coach the players hard to get the best out of them. What more could you want?

I made it down to 8 minute mingle - Like I said I would. Got to three of the five freshmen - Loud and clear they want to stay. Also met Donovan Hunter and her dad - they are excited about the momentum.
GO BEAVS!!

You never know on here who has a relative on another team. That’s all I will say. |

Werebeaver - I'm sensing a little bit of grinning on your comment. At least I hope it's a smile.
aicandme - Lily, Adlee and Martha. Rea and Timea were deep in an autograph lines with tons of kids. They deserve their attention more than me.

But, but, but they hired Sabrina on as “Director of Athletic Culture” to inspire players with her occasional presence and her own shoe brand. Are you telling me that’s not helping? |
