I think the sky is the limit with Caldwell. I really think this little period has been one of her best coaching jobs since she has been here. I am impressed with Boykins development. Rhodes should be seeing the court more. She is beginning to look more comfortable. Ayanna Mitchell is a talented and explosive post coming in next season. I expect her to make a significant impact. I am quite certain Caldwell will add a Juco player as well. Now, I think if we finish above .500 in SEC play, and have a successful run in the SEC tournament. This will be Caldwell's most impressive coaching turn around. I expect us to finish the season out strong with unknown post season possibilities. I think Caldwells next step is hiring a great recruiter with connections.
I think once Caldwell has players, we will be a top 15 team consistently. She does a great job of coaching and developing her players. I'm hopeful that things will get better

I wholeheartedly agree, except that I think her first year here was her best coaching job...........but that's neither here nor there.

I think when she brought Stacie Terry with her from UCLA, she assumed that she (Terry) could duplicate her recruiting prowess here in the Southeast. But, Terry didn't have any connections down here and thus, the recruiting suffered. So, the key is going to be.......as you mentioned......hiring an assistant coach who is a top notch recruiter. Right now, that's all that's missing from this young staff. The sky is the limit if we can get the recruiting piece improved.
