• Watched her in the state playoffs and she was terrific. She would be a big pick up for the ladies. (NT) -- WashpaRick, Wednesday, August 25, 05:52:58pm
  • Madison Cable would not only help take the team to a higher level, I think she will help bring in more local fans/attendance and solidify Duquesne's WBB as a program definitely on the Rise. I see them post season soon. Go Dukes! (NT) -- DUDUDE, Friday, August 27, 09:52:37am
    • Madison would become the face of the program. She would make a big name for herself around here. Who knows, maybe even become a local icon just like her coach. (NT) -- duq15, Friday, August 27, 01:54:03pm
      • I agree. She would be in a great place here in her hometown with Suzie taking her under her wing. You learn from the best. (NT) -- DUDUDE, Friday, August 27, 03:35:49pm

• Belma Nuric of Baldwin High has already verbally commitee to go to Duquesne in 2011. She & Madison Cable were first team AAAA all-state this past season, and they both play on the same AAU team. Let's hope that playing for a hometown university attended by both her mom & dad will sway Madison's college decision. These two girls coupled with the recruits who will be freshmen this season, 6-3 wing Orsi Szecsi, (Budapest, Hungary/Oak Hill (Va.) Academy) & 6-1 forward Wumi Agunbiade, (Pickering, Ontario/Dunbarton) will elevate the women's program to another level. (NT) -- Always a Duke, Wednesday, August 25, 09:50:57pm
  • For the record, it is Belma Nurkic, right? Cable dounds like she would be a really nice get.. Bit surprised by the DEL thing, EDD will be a senior when she gets there and that coach hasn't put a step forward adding anybody else to that probram. Anybody know the connection, because the Kestler girl from Mt.Lebo also has DEL in her final 5. (NT) -- Purduke, Thursday, August 26, 08:44:12pm
    • There's only one Belma on Baldwin's team. Yes, her last name is spelled, Nurkic. I saw the Mt Lebo-Baldwin PIAA playoff game at Chartiers Valley. I thought that Belma was better than Madison Cable - at least in that game. Cable, however, had a very good game in the PA State Championship. Delaware maybe an attraction because of its academics (ranked 75 in US News), its beautiful campus, & its location (near Philly, Baltimore and not to far from NYC). I honestly don't know too much about the Blue Hens' women'a B-ball coach. There's one girl on the UD's team from Upper St. Clair. (NT) -- Always a Duke, Thursday, August 26, 09:41:16pm
    • I think Elena Della Donne is only a sophomore so she would be a junior when this recruiting class arrives. I am surprised that Duquesne is not in the hunt for Kestler with Duquesne's lack of PG depth. Is her sister still on Suzy's staff? (NT) -- TMH, Thursday, August 26, 10:47:40pm

• if SMS lands another solid class, and Nuric is a nice start, DU ladies should be ready to take some big steps forward, NCAA tourney, A10 title runs, etc. There will be nice talent with great coaching = wins (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Thursday, August 26, 03:05:37pm
  • I agree. If I had any disappointment about SMS though (and I am a huge supporter), it is her inability to use her resume and name recognition to recruit nationally. -- TMH, Thursday, August 26, 03:35:16pm
    • What is her recruiting budget? A lot depends on this. Not like durkin finding hlede by accident. (NT) -- Alan, Thursday, August 26, 05:26:29pm
    • Frankly, if you have the #57th ranked high school senior sitting in your back yard (Mt Lebanon), you don't necessarily need to go to California or Arizona to get a player. However, I do believe that you will see a wider geographic distribution of recruits for 2011 than we have ever seen before. Susie did say that when she was 1st hired, she would attempt to lock in the cream of thr crop in western PA, which is generally regarded as a pretty good area for D-1 girls' talent. (NT) -- Always a Duke, Thursday, August 26, 07:48:59pm
      • Good points. I think Suzie has a different challenge trying to compete on a national or international than Ron does. High school boys know more about the NCAA men's scene than the girls do, largely because of the high level of exposure given to men's sports. So Suzie trying to talk to girls from Paterson Catholic in NJ, or a school in Indiana, is a little tougher until Duquesne gets a higher profile. Next step I think is expanding into Ohio, Philly, NJ, Lehigh Valley, then expanding the borders. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, August 28, 11:13:53am

• Both of Madison Cable's parents are Duquesne grads (NT) -- stat man, Thursday, August 26, 04:36:10pm
  • How proud would they be seeing her in that Duquesne uniform? (NT) -- DUDUDE, Friday, August 27, 09:54:08am
