Now there's a recruiting pitch - Lindsey visits a recruit, and closes with "be sure to watch me play with the WNBA Champions." Or she brings a recruit to practice and they get to hang out with Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles, and get a pep talk from Cheryl Reeve.
Assuming she has a good director of operations, and assistant coaches to handle some of the day-to-day stuff, I think having her still play could be a huge plus for the Gophers. Not to mention the cross-promotion - offer Lynx fans a Gopher season ticket package, and pack the barn with all the young girls who consider Lindsey their idol.
