When the camp ends Friday, Law will prepare to hit the road and continue to recruit. One of the knocks on the women's basketball program has been allowing top talent to leave the state.
"Right now, our run to the Big Ten Championship game and the Big Ten Network has really opened a lot of doors for us," Law said. "My main focus again, I keep saying, I'm just trying to keep Illinois kids here in state and get them excited about this great University. I just think that kids in this state should want to come here at the University of Illinois."
With her first season as a head coach behind her, Law is prepared to take the Illini and the program to new heights. That's not to say Illinois' last second loss to Purdue in the Big Ten Championship was easy to move past.
"I'm still not over it," Law said of the loss that dashed the team's NCAA Tournament hopes.
While a loss is a loss, especially one that comes in a heartbreaking fashion, Law is still drawing positives from the Big Ten title game.
"We're going to build on that game, and it's going to be our motivation for our upcoming season," Law said of the Purdue loss. "We're destined to get to the NCAAs, and we're going to do it the right way."
