She's also going to have a much stronger supporting cast at Buffalo, which would likely improve numbers against these better teams.

Wouldn't be surprised to see PG Rachael Rose come over from USC Upstate as well.

Agreed, I was kina thinking Rachael may be a today or tomorrow commit. I know everyone wants their own day in the sun.

If nothing else, she brings the passion. I think the team is going to be very exciting to watch.

Do agree. Each and every coach has their own personality and temperament and has to be judged on their own merits. Coach Burke has her own passion and looks different than the Coach Jack passion and am looking forward to this new chapter of UB basketball. Any word on any potential coaching hires by Coach Burke?? Go Bulls!!!

Do agree. FLJ brought kinda a spiritual belief in one’s ability type passion. Coach Burke is bringing that rah rah type passion. Different than coach Jack but still energy and passion that you love to see.

Just thinking about this, I think this is only the second time that UB hired a current D1 head coach that wasn’t explicitly fired from their previous job. I might be missing somebody from Olympic sports, but nice to see that we’re moving up in that sense.

Stu Riddle, men’s soccer. He was at Western Michigan previously. Looking online I couldn’t find if his contract wasn’t renewed at WMU or if he sought out a new job, but regardless it does not seem like he was explicitly fired.

I was trying to think of football or basketball, since you said you were not sure about olympic sports.

Agree.Coaches coming from winning programs like Louisville and South Carolina and some with recruiting experience and also Erin from our area with local contacts. Also singing another recruit who was Div 2 player of the year averaging 17 per game with good assist totals. Exciting to see a new chapter in Women’s basketball. Go Bulls!!!!

A lot of Kentucky flavor in the staff.  Wonder if there will be a big Derby Day party on May 7th.
