No, it isn't magic. Maybe there is some degree of luck involved and once might be a fluke but twice in such a short period of time simply cannot be ignored.
That being St. Mary's first extending a scholarship offer to Omar Samhan (even if it wasn't a beat-down-the-door-we-have-to-have-him signing) and then enjoying the bountiful fruits of his labors in gaining national respect and attention for the program.
There probably wasn't anyone short of the Samhan home crew who foresaw the blossoming of Omar but credit goes to the Gaels for wanting him and taking the chance.
Now, it's Brad Waldow time. He redshirted last year after coming out of little Shingle Springs and is now an integral cog in St. Mary's being on top in the West Coast Conference.
Just ask yourself: does St. Mary's bounce BYU twice and Gonzaga once (so far this season) without Waldow?
And just where were the other Bay Area teams in beating a path to the Waldow domicile?
Lightning HAS STRUCK TWICE and credit is deserved by Samhan, Waldow and certainly the various coaches on the staff at St. Mary's.
