Any news or rumors about the staff?

[DarkPhoenix]

Essence Cody was one that Roman out recruited us for, I know.

Oh ok, I don’t think we missed much on that one.

 

[volbeast33]

I’m only seeing two names— Gabe Lazo and Roman Tubner. Who am I missing?

Jenna…. Her associate head coach at Marshall….

 

[spojo13]

ty! forgot about her cause it was early news.

No problem. Last week feels much longer than it was. Easy to forget

end of the semester too so i’m drowning

 

[DarkPhoenix]

We’ll all are not recruiters.. I’d also like to know who they have developed and where they ended up. What were the metrics behind their positions

Ok, I’m just worried about who is responsible for bringing in the players right now,

The person from her prior staff.

I don’t know who they are, but can u give me names of elite recruits they are responsible for?

The Alabama guy signed three players last year that was ranked as the number 12 class in the nation. He has one player committed in 2024 number 36. The Miss St guy has one committed in 2024 number 43. I don't know who he got last year they brought in a couple of transfers while he has been there. Number 22 Essence Cody is the top player the Bama guy has recruited. quanirah-cherry-montague This is the best player the Miss St guy brought in 2023. Cody started for Bama don't think the other player played much for Miss St.

BLACK MALE

Was it u @glv98 who joked about black male diversity?

When was the last time we had multiple male assistants?

(Jon doesn’t count )

 

[Orange007]

Do we have one more spot? I think so

 

[spojo13]

She did have 20 and 14 against Florida state. We would have loved that output from one of our posts this year. She couldn’t stay out of foul trouble at times though.

I’ll just wait until the portal ends to make any judgements.

 

[ERvolsfan]

So in summary if reports are believed to be true this is the tentative staff.

LV-HC-- Kim Caldwell

Asst Coaches:
- Jenna Burdette (asst HC Marshall)
- Roman Tubner (AL assistant)
- Gabe Lazo (Miss State assistant)

I actually really love her play. She just fouls like she gets paid for each one

Yeah and she has room for 2 more but 3 is a great start

Most only keep 4

I don't understand. You mean there are assistant coaches that don't recruit? I've only ever seen that under Pruitt.

They aren’t cheap, that’s for sure!

 

[glv98]

I'm just super happy they are coaches very familiar with the SEC and SEC recruiting. That makes me feel a million times better. Now someone line up some visits this week.

Jolette was my first thought, too, but I'm not sure why she'd leave South Carolina, especially since she grew up there and I imagine SC is home.

Any other speculation? Ole Miss just completely turned over their assistant coaching staff (and of course Kentucky just turned everyone over).

I was kidding. I knew she wouldn't leave So Car.

No I mean primarily… all coaches recruit but it gets murky when u want to start crediting kids to coaches

I just don’t think that’s elite, she can be a good player. Elite for me is a player that can lead a team to a Championship. As examples of players I think can do that are Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, Lauren Betts, Kiki Iriafen to name a few.

 

[Volfan2012]

You can have four Assistant coaches in women's basketball now. Kellie had promoted a girl to Assistant that was doing another job for her. So still one opening for someone.

 

[lvocd]

I just want to toss the name.

How about Condoleeza Rice? She used to attend some Stanford games, so she'd probably be good. lol

She is not in the transfer portal so a non factor.

Same. I will give credit where it’s due because I want this to work! It’s a great move to hire experienced coaches with ties to recruits and familiarity with the SEC.

Right. They're not Jolette Law. But on the other hand it's not going to be a full We Are Marshall staff, which is what I was worried about. IMO hiring this level of SEC experience and contacts is very encouraging.
