How Hoyt went from one player on her roster to collecting one of the more promising teams in program history.
Amazing recruiting job by Coach Hoyt - can’t wait to see the new roster on the court in November.
I would like to know why so many of the former players left. I remember reading about Hoyt’s recruiting of Girardi - it almost sounded like Girardi thought of Hoyt as a big sister. Then Girardi leaves after one season?

No idea and that surprised me too - when people are whining about a lack of playing time, sometimes that has a residual effect on otherwise stable players, especially if the parents are whining too… it’s like water eroding an otherwise solid foundation. Hoyt should have addressed it when it first became apparent (didn’t she have to know?).
Meanwhile, is Hoyt finished in the Portal because it would be nice to close out with a 6’6” player for the team next year. A bit more height would be a good thing…
