I remember in the disastrous ending to the Lavonda era and the beginning of the Rueck era there were four top-notch girls high school basketball players in Oregon: Russell, Nared, Johnson, and one other whose name escapes me (and I'm too lazy to look it up)
They spurned the Beavers (and the Ducks) to play at national powers. At the time, I was saying on the old Pure Orange boards that a national championship team was in Oregon, and if somehow Rueck could get them that OSU could be that national powerhouse.
Rueck didn't need'em. That said, I wish those girls the best moving forward in their careers. But, it makes this victory ever the more sweeter.
Now, beat Baylor/Michigan!!
