Swish Appeal ranks LSU #14th women's basketball program
Swish Appeal has been on a long track of ranking the top 100 women's basketball programs in the nation based on their success over a long period of time. The LSU Lady Tigers come in at 14th of all programs in the nation. Here is what Swish Appeal has to say about LSU women's basketball:
14. LSU: The Lady Tigers of Louisana State have had a lot of success, and a lot of great coaches. Sue Gunter coached the team for 24 years, taking the team to a NCAA Final Four. Pokey Chatman inherited that team and that team went to three Final Fours after that. With Chatman's resignation, Van Chancellor took over the team. The first year he was with the team - 2007-08 - the team went to another Final Four, five consecutive Final Fours in all. The only other school with five consecutive Final Fours? Connecticut.
Aside from the WNBA players that come out of the program - Seimone Augustus and Marie Ferdinand-Harris - the program is investing in its infrastructure with a new practice facility that was completed in January 2010. They picked up the #16 recruiting class in the country according to ESPN. It looks like LSU wants very badly to at the very least get to another Final Four. Don't be surprised if they make it.Check here for all of the Swish Appeal rankings: http://bit.ly/dbHm0x
