Don't want it to sound like I am bashing Nikki. She was my #1 choice and I think she will be great. I think she is going to need a few years to get some players in to match her style of play. I think we all know the "get on the Van" years took a terrible toll on the program and I think there were some recruiting mistakes made. I think she will build the program back in a few years.

Actually, I'm not sure it's the mistakes as much as Van not "coaching them up". Every coach makes recruiting mistakes. Pokey did. Coach Gunter did. But, Van recruited players and then wouldn't even give them playing time. I think Hughes and Lutley are direct examples of that.

By the way, here's highlights from last nights game if you wanna see 'em.

I am rooting for NK, but jury is still out, the problem Van had was the biggest scandal in wb history when Saint Pokey to some of you was "messing" with some of her players and apparenlty a nmuber of other females around town. Van came in and with some help from Starkey and others saved what could have been a disaster. It was time for Van to go, but he saved us from true disaster...as for NK so far-she has talked a great game gotten people excited which is great, and for 975k gotten pregnant, lost to Tulane who we have only ever lost to 4 times and no matter WHO is on the court not beating etsu by 30+ is a joke- thier rpi is 277 and had we lost it would have been our worst loss (by far) in 15+ years!!! So far we have two very good wins and 6 solid wins, two bad losses, our rpi is 31, but we are a bubble team in a DOWN year in sec...I give her a B- so far, but do think she will do better, but time to walk the walk a bit..Vandy is WAY down this year we shud beat them Sunday or we are in real NCAA trouble at 4-4 in sec...
