Doesn't look good compared to other top teams. I saw one 4 star player only.

Most moms would love to watch their sons play college baseball.

She has signed 1. After not ever being in the race for one of the top big girls in the country right here in our own back yard, I heard her say something that i think means she likes small and fast. Since she plays a pressure type defense full court thats the way to go. And it helps to push the ball after a rebound. But if you have to play half court and you have no tall players it is hard to win.

Kalani Brown is the laziest player I've ever seen, Mulkey has her work cut out for her.

If Nikki doesn't sign Cara Ursin in two years, she needs to go.

Let's be honest. She probably needs to go now. Luckily getting in helped save her some time but let's be real.

I want her to do well, but you're right, the results don't match the price tag.

But damn do I want to see Cara in P&G.

I just did a quick search on this Ursin girl. Kim Mulkey has this state on lock


Yeah, I'm happy Caldwell has shown she knows her x's and o's, but the whole little to no recruiting abilities will keep her medicore unless there's some well-connected assistant she could hire. Does anyone know if there's a David Patrick for women's basketball?

Doubt this is true. It wouldn't matter what Nikki did, Kalani is P J Brown's daughter and her mom was a track star at La Tech. They all have the LA Tech connection and she was going to play for Kim.

Brown said it's been her lifelong dream to play for Mulkey. Caldwell wasn't going to get her, Pokey wouldn't have gotten her, Sue wouldn't have gotten her.

Nikki's niece is a Guard in the same class and she's projected to be a big time recruit. A couple of boards say she's committed to us but nothing official. Could keep them from looking at Ursin or keep her away.

Kalani Brown was signed, sealed, and delivered to Kim Mulkey at birth. The only way she would've played at LSU is if Mulkey was our coach.

Brown looks like a little Shaq but her skills don't match her size. What should be referred to as physical prowess is missing. Maybe she'll toughen up in college.

I've watched her since her freshman year and haven't been overly impressed. Some kids have heart, desire, a feel for the game, etc. but never have the physical attributes. Brown has the size but hasn't developed into a well-rounded player.

She needs to go now. She is overpaid and under produced since she has been here. I think she is getting 750K in a non revenue producing sport and having average at best success. Pay part of that money to coach O and and Coach Ball and go out and hire a really good women's highschool coach who would gladly take half that who would get you at least the same result. I thought Nikki was going to be a great hire when it happened and would put this program right back in the thick of it (not just making the tournament) but she hasn't and she has had long enough.

Small and fast and can't shoot and can't play defense gets you an 11 seed and a ticket home.
