Kellie Harper to Missouri

@Majors
Six sophomore
Three juniors
Two freshman
11 players returning in there seniors are out of eligibilit.
Kellie has to much class to run a player off.
If you add sophomore to the freshman=8 so over half will be players Kellie didn't recuit for two seasons since half of 15 is 7.5

Of course Kellie year three there it will be 13 player's that Kellie recuited

Missouri last coach contact run out.
So Missouri didn't buy her out.
It be interesting to see Kellie Harper contract terns.
 
This is the question, I think. IMO Kellie is a good enough coach to keep MO competing for the top half of the league every year with sweet sixteen potential every two or three years, but that may or may not be good enough long term. In any case, I think a school like MO is Kellie's best bet if she wants to coach P4.
In talking to some people around the conference, Missouri committed revenue sharing money to WBB, which many programs aren't doing, and a healthy amount of NIL money to get Harper to sign. We'll see how it works, but they're committing to the tools to succeed when two other schools in the conference that had coaching vacancies did not.
 
Gettin the ol gang together lol

How long until Sam is there?
Sullivan is a good hire. Got no support at FAU and it was going to get worse.

Sam was counting on going to Auburn with Purcell, I wonder what she'll do now. I don't think she's Kellie's first call but they do still have a good relationship. There's an assistant at Illinois that played for Harper at Missouri State that was on staff at UT for awhile. She might be a candidate.

I saw they hired a former Mo State player along with Sullivan. No news yet if Mr. Harper is on staff but one would guess so unless mizzou said no.

glv98 mentioned wondering if Jordan Walker might get a call.
 
Reeks of giving a friend a lifeline. 28-62 in 3 years at FAU.

Some people find out they enjoy being an assistant coach way more than being a head coach. Mickey DeMoss has success as the head coach at Kentucky, but it stressed her out so much it was making her sick. I don't think she'll ever be a head coach again after learning that lesson. She also had mentioned how different recruiting is now, and how different dealing with recruiting student-athletes and their families is now.

Demoss also had extra curricular activities that distracted her from doing her job. Believe the stress was self caused.
