Do you think it will ever get back to where Sue and Pokey had it at such a high level? Does not look promising at all.

Lot of factors in building a contender. 1st up: Recruiting. Caldwell gets an F- on this grade. Unless that drastically improves, she must be replaced.

If Joe Alleva doesn't fire her after the season then he is an even bigger dumb arse than expected

Maybe if we bring Pokey back, but that's not going to happen.

Doesn't Nikki Caldwell (or Fargas) make the same as Paul Manieri? Please tell me I'm wrong.

All the injuries and player dismissals aside, Nikki Caldwell has literally been as train wreck at LSU. First and foremost her inability to recruit players of SEC caliber has devastated this team. It was said coming in from UCLA fans that this would happen and they were right.

This program is a freakin mess and I can not for the life of me see LSU keeping a 700K/yr coach that makes it look like an accident when her team's win.

Letting Kalani Brown leave Louisiana turned my opinion of Nikki, I don't care, you do not let a player like that get out of state. From the sounds of it Nikki's staff never really went after Brown seriously. Pathetic.

Lower the goals and play on a smaller court and I might (operative word) care a little but about women's basketball. It really is impossible to watch.

I used to be a season ticket holder and I thought Nikki was a good hire. I was very wrong and gave up the tickets 2 years ago. The recruiting has been a disaster. Even with the injured players this year we would be a lower, middle of the pack team in the SEC. They are just bad and no prospects of getting better. I don't really have an issue with her "x and o"'s of coaching but the talent is not there because she won't recruit. I would have no issue with her being fired but at the least she needs a whole new staff with some aggressive recruiters if she is not willing to do it herself.

shite the selfish part of me wants her to stick around for another three years. So my dream can come true and my daughter play basketball at LSU.

Remember back in the 90s when Sue Gunter had three terrible seasons in a row, including a 0-12 SEC campaign in 1992-93. Cornelia Gayden was the headliner back in the day. Why was no one clamering for Gunter's removal back then? A few years later, she had them back in the FINAL FOUR.
