Fine as she is, it's time for Nikki to go. LSU womens BBall deserves better.

Well, she's got one year left on the contract. So, I don't think she's going anywhere till this next contract is up. The reality is, if she's able to guide next season's team to a better record than this past season's, she'll be retained. It's just hard for many of us seeing that happening without Ballard on the team.

If Ballard is the person off the court that someone has indicated in this thread then, fine........she needed to go. However, that STILL doesn't stop me from questioning why this staff continues to have problems in recruiting. Not only do you need to recruit talented kids but, you also need to vet them to see if they are hardworking, quality people. I think we're falling short on both accounts. We're not pulling in enough top talent, and the one's we are getting seem to be problems.
