hopefan - not sure about your facts. 1) jenny farrar is also a returning starter. She had 12-10 against Greensboro and 10-12 against RMAC. She's certainly no slouch, plus she was a contributing member, as a freshman, to the team that won the national championship. In addition, keep your eye on Martha King this year.  

I wouldn't feel too bad for the returning kids, knowing the athletic department, they are going to find a darn good coach.  

As for Coach Geyer, "jumping ship," if her dream is to be a head coach at the division I level, she has to start somewhere. an assistant coaching position for a C-USA team (in 06-07) is a good place to be.
