Same. Really glad if it improves our iffy 3 pt shooters. But I guess I have post "live by the 3 die by the 3" syndrome. I'd still like our transfers to be already solid 3 pt shooters and not dependent on the statistical improvement of the system.Yeah, I’m not sure if it would automatically improve everyone’s %. However, I think those who can be improved hopefully will.
Totally agree. Also, I think CKC has a mandate from her boss to balance out the disaster of a roster class wise. We've heard the over dependance on older players and gaping holes in the roster were among his main reasons for firing Kellie. IMO leaving a roster w potentially just four players after next year was her worst legacy. Except well, the 1.1 second.We are at 6 girls with one year left and 4 returners…
FOUR. That is a catastrophic meltdown next year. Also coaches want players to grow in system so year 2,3 etc are better…
She already said November isn’t her best month. So imagine pulling a Kellie and redoing this year over year with new players. Unsustainable.
Imo we can afford 2 one years and must get 3 younger. MUST.
Kellie should have redshirted Kaiya and Karo. Also Ace after her 2 injuries but she sucks at roster management
Her (Kellie's) biggest downfall in recruiting was she wouldn't do what he has hired her (Kim) and her assistances to do and that is to contact players while they are on other teams and get them to enter the portal or change their commitments out of high school. It was one thing Pat didn't agree with, nor did Holly.Totally agree. Also, I think CKC has a mandate from her boss to balance out the disaster of a roster class wise.

I get the value of the portal, but overdependance on something as iffy portal recruiting just seems unwise. Of course the portal will still be heavily used, esp for home run gets. But CKC has to do better than KJH's nothingburger in foundational hs recruiting, an area she has no experience in at this level. That's why bringing in experienced SEC level recruiters was such a good move.
I don't think a player following a coach or assistant coach to another school is necessarily tampering. I mean the event speaks for itself. When that coach goes to another school and and the player loves the coach and the new school checks out, the coach doesn't have to say a word.Her (Kellie's) biggest downfall in recruiting was she wouldn't do what he has hired her assistances to do and that is to contact players while they are on other teams and get them to enter the portal or change their commitments once they are signed.

This fanbase to this day is not over Brenda Frese calling Candace during the season and trying to get her to become a Terp, when she added Sara Wiley, or Geno's antics with the Maya Moore situation, but now everyone will be on board with it now that this is what Kim and her staff is being advised to and will do.
That is what the Ballout is alluding to, and one thing Tennessee wouldn't do and that's compromise the integrity of their program or game. Now with integrity for the program no longer mattering, we will likely get recruits to come.
If it works they'll be praised for it, if it doesn't they won't be around to deal with whatever ramifications come from it.
Sometimes you have to get "dirty" I guess, and teams have been doing it to us, so I guess its bout time we "do it to them".
If Nye ends up at Tennessee (and any other Bama player for that matter), I bet Kristy Curry is livid.I don't think a player following a coach or assistant coach to another school is necessarily tampering.

Also, I asked the other day, if a player reaches out to a coach is that tampering? Hey coach, can I come with? Probably is if the coach engages a conversation about transferring.
It ain't pretty but it is what it is. I'd call it plundering more than tampering. Thank your previous job by leaving them devastated. IMO alot of us are faced with deciding on a fairly regular basis if college sports in its current state is something we feel good about continuing to follow.
Players following coaches to new jobs is not new. How is it different for an assistant? Is this different from Kenny Brooks?Yep and depending on how it happens, she will definitely say something about.
I think it’s funny that when Amoore followed her coach that nothing was said. Is it bc players are only supposed to be loyal to the head coach, and Tubner was an assistant? I mean we’ve seen tons of players transfer for a particular coach. I don’t compare what Brenda did to this at allI don't think a player following a coach or assistant coach to another school is necessarily tampering. I mean the event speaks for itself.

Following a head coach is totally different than following an assistant coach! But I get your point.Players following coaches to new jobs is not new. How is it different for an assistant? Is this different from Kenny Brooks?
BTW, Belmont coach says hold my beer. He's been yelling about mid-majors getting tampered with for years. Including right after DW came here.
Nye is a fifth year, which isn't ideal but in her case I'd take it. This would be a huge icebreaker for CKC. Investment from a legit SEC player on the heels of buyin fm legit SEC coaches.
Sounds closer to a done deal for us, Ball Out devoted it's LV shot of the day to it.
