re: WBB finishes #24, but 2-9 vs top 25, glass half full or half empty?

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?

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.
