A new coach at a struggling program always brings a sense of optimism (at least until the next season gets underway, and usually longer). The downside is the turmoil it can cause with the current members of the team. In the case of Cheryl Burnett at Michigan four years ago, the player turnover severely reduced the numbers on the team in her 2nd & 3rd seasons, which made things even harder.
So far, the impact of coach Burnett's retirement has been minimal. Next years sole recruit, Veronica Hicks, intends to honor her commitment. 2008 verbal commitment Alex Guyton has reopened her recruitment, but is still interested in Michigan depending on the new coach. And according to a posting on umgoblue.com, 2007 recruit Ta'Shia Phillips is considering Michigan, along with several schools.
Lets hope things stay positive and the team doesn't go through anything like it did during the Guevara/Burnett transition.
