TAMU-CC plays in the Southland Conference with a bunch of schools you've barely heard of. Though I did move UTEP to this conference apparently, not that they've done anything notable in-game either.
Here's the incoming roster, which includes no gift transfers.

Salvador is the best player, she's a former 3-star recruit and put up 10.1 PPG last year as a season average. Not sure what's going to be like to recruit at a program like this, because we have no money and our staff isn't really good enough to bring anyone of note in. I hope the coach's skill in these areas will outweigh, but I've never been especially clear on how much it factors in.
Due to the lack of funds, this will be nothing like the days of yore where we jetsetted for international players no one else wanted. It'll be sticking close to the region and finding those diamonds in the rough and I'm going to heavily rely on HS statistics as I feel like they make it easier to identify what a player might be able to do in college.
We're not exactly sure how long Coach Muldowney expects to prowl the sidelines at TAMU-CC or how long before she'll get frustrated with what are to be inevitable amounts of losses. She never had a losing season in her career through now and her worst year was in 2019 when the Pronghorns went 17-14 and missed the post-season completely.
