Re: The Shantay Legans Era
Can we entice Shantay to hold a meet and greet with Season ticket holders, Pilot Club etc.
And PLEASE we need to know about how the Atletic Department plans to “market” last year and Shantay
If the AD can’t double the season ticket holders there is something seriously wrong!

Not sure the Athletic Department reads this forum, have you considered asking them directly?Snus Junction wrote:Can we entice Shantay to hold a meet and greet with Season ticket holders, Pilot Club etc.

Seems like a direct answer would be more helpful than the rest of us speculating...but that is was we are best at.

Re: The Shantay Legans Era
I assume (guess? speculate?) the coach is at the Final Four. Isn't that also a coaches' convention? Then there are recruiting trips. National Signing Day period starts April 13th and ends May 18th. Perhaps when all the scholarships are awarded we can get a meet and greet or a virtual session with Coach Legans to talk about next year's team. I know the athletic department reads this forum; one member of the dept. posts occasionally.

"I want to coach in it, not party at it," is what I was told.
BTW, I don't think it is a secret that Coach Pope returned from New Orleans this past weekend. It was a VERY smart move on his part to leave New Orleans early in the midst of thousands of flights being cancelled...he is (finally) getting married on Thursday!!

He listens to what teachers say about their students. An athlete can be an amazing player on the court, but if they don’t interact with those around them in a way that coach Legans wants to see then they may not be considered.
“We look for subtle things,” Legans said. “You look for if they work hard in AP classes. If you talk to their teachers, and counselors, they say how hard they work and you talk to their coaches, and they put in extra work, sometimes we look to see if they've done anything in the community, you know, food drives and stuff like that to see, because those are the kinds of things that we want to do when we're here.”

Re: The Shantay Legans Era
Said this before- marketing is the key and need not be costly.
There are so many ways to improve the “game experience for fans.”
Should get to the point where “ We went to a party and a basketball game broke out.”
We got some good press - rare to get any Oregonian press last few years.
Coach Legans can definitely coach and he is also
“The story.”
The other story is the “International Team.”
Love the flags of our player.
Looking forward to see how the AD plays this -

Gues not everyone has the same opinion about going to New Orleans. Coach Legans liked this tweet.

Re: The Shantay Legans Era
I hope the hashtags mean she paid at least the $25.67 in carbon offsets to cover the flight, assuming she flew economy.
$73.79 in business class.
101.78 in first.
