per Sansevere:

You put together a Mount Rushmore of great Minnesota athletes, male or female, and she definitely is in the conversation.

“People talk about the ‘it’ factor, and that is always difficult to define,” Coyle said, “but everyone who has ever spent time around Lindsay Whalen knows she has it.”

She has it, all right. And then some.

After she accepted the job she always was meant to have, Whalen called it “a dream come true.” She also talked about the “many special memories” she collected and created at the University of Minnesota, and how she was excited by “the opportunity to have more.”

Others should be excited, too. Incredibly excited.

Go Gophers!!
 

I agree with the whole piece.

esp
Whalen is as iconic and legendary in her sport as any Minnesota athlete ever has been. If you put together a Mount Rushmore of great female athletes from Minnesota, you start with Lindsay Whalen and go from there.
