It’s been an incredible three years for Oregon State women’s basketball, as Scott Rueck has guided the once-dismal program to three straight Pac-12 titles from 2015-2017. His squad earned the school’s first-ever Final Four berth in the 2016 NCAA Tournament, and Jamie Weisner and Ruth Hamblin were both taken in the first-round of the 2016 WNBA Draft. Despite the loss of those two stars, the determined Beaver women earned a Sweet Sixteen berth in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, and Sydney Weise was taken in the first round of the 2017 WNBA Draft.
Some Beaver fans might be looking at the loss of three pro-level athletes in the last two years and wondering what’s next for Rueck and the Beaver women.
