Nikki Caldwell is not recruiting for reason:
a) She is not working hard enough;
b) she is getting killed by regional recruiters for obvious reasons and families are not buying her "glam package," vs her baggage;
c) could it be she is not trusted by recruits?
I don't pretend to have the answer, but she has been unimpressive at best, unless you give her credit for her expensive and vast array of fashion and shoes...or are shoes included in fashionista fare?
We are not getting 1M worth of coaching and I predict she'll coast til she is fired...

Yeah we have a nice basketball practice facility and are a top 15 program all time, yet she couldn't sign anyone ranked in the top 100. I was okay with this season's performance considering the locker room issues, but that's a pretty pathetic recruiting effort.
Should be interesting to see if she can land that top recruit in LA next season. All I know is that her dad is a former La Tech basketball player, so I'd imagine Kim Mulkey is going to work that angle pretty hard.

That right there is complete and utter BS.
1) How do YOU know she's not working hard enough?
2) What are the "obvious" reasons? That LSU is the flagship school of the state of Louisiana? And what "baggage" does she have that YOU are privy to?
3) Not "trusted" by recruits? Why would recruits not "trust" her compared to any of the other power programs in the region? She's only been here three seasons.
Now, I agree that the recruiting is not nearly as good as she did at UCLA.........which is disappointing. But it may just have to do with relationship building moreso than the "ghost reasons" that mistert is trying to insinuate.
I'd give this season anywhere in the range of a C+ to a B-. It started off as an A- or B+ but, the losing streak in the middle of the season, took it down and then, the finish to the season brought it slight back up.
But certainly recruiting is the biggest worry we have for the program moving forward.
