RECRUITING
DISCOVER THE DEFINITION OF LOGGER BASKETBALL
The greatness of a Logger is the sacrifices she is willing to make to ensure she reaps the rewards of her past success and failures. A Logger never finds faults with a teammate when more benefit can come from a kind word. A Logger is confident in herself and her teammates. She possesses an insatiable hunger for the game, she wears her heart on her sleeve and she exemplifies individual courage that enables her to resist those who wish to discourage. A Logger takes pride in herself, her team and her University. A Logger will be able to laugh at herself, sing off key on long van rides, ask for help, trust her teammates, make intelligent choices and share these experiences with a special group of people. She trusts that these qualities will get her through life experiences both on and off the court. I hope a Logger can look back on her experiences with great fondness and a sense of accomplishment.
